Sea Watcher

The location directly on the ocean was fantastic! The home is very clean, cozy and pet friendly. They even provided a dog food bowl and water bowl. The kitchen was very well equipped and everything in the home was very organized. The beds were very comfortable and the also have a lot of books, puzzles and games available for fun family time. The house also comes with a gorgeous deck and nice deck furniture. We would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful beach house. Perfect for us and so dog friendly!!! Definitely my favorite so far. Will continue to book yearly. Bluewater employees courteous, helpful and friendly!

The house we rented - Sea Watcher - has become our favorite beach home away from home. It's the perfect size for us with our 3 sons. All of the features and amenities are provided to enable us to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Emerald Isle. Special note about the comfort of the living room furniture - we watch movies, play games, and are able to have fun in the evening.

We have been renting with Bluewater since 2004. Always beautiful. We LOVE Sea Watcher!

The view— the comfort- the well equipped kitchen—this home was terrific.

The views are spectacular and the living room is furnished with really comfortable chairs and a couch. This is our favorite beach house for sure. The bidet was great. Loved having an ice maker.

We loved this house. Great views, on the beach, plenty of room and pet friendly.

We loved the oceanfront location; the view is just incredible. It's so easy to walk out to the beach with our stuff and to be able to come back and forth easily was great, especially with a baby. The house was decorated well, and we love all the updates. We loved the four chairs near the windows! Perfect for relaxing and for rocking the baby! The dog bowls were also a nice and welcome touch.

Sea Watcher is a really great beach cottage - really amazing views of the beach and ocean and very updated and comfortable inside. Great beds!

Christopher L - Posted: 7/8/2023

The house was amazing! We loved the personal touches of the doggie bowls! The one level living was perfect for our family!

We loved the Sea Watcher So close to the ocean. The house was great. An older home with lots of updates. New appliances. The floors were easy sweep up ! Loved the king beds ! We also really liked the area being farther from the pier with not many other Va stop ers near by. We've been vacationing on EI for more than 30 years (use to own a home there). Since we've been renting I have to say this house was one of our favorites

This house had beautiful 180 degree views of the shoreline. Very clean and updated.

Constance L - Posted: 6/1/2022

Location is fantastic and it has great layout and deck. No clutter and no carpet for clean feel, which is also great for pets!

Platon M - Posted: 5/1/2022

This was the perfect beach house. Excellent views and plenty of room for our family!

Tracy S - Posted: 9/1/2021

Great house!!! Nicely decorated, great layout and beautiful view! Kitchen was lacking for those of us that choose to cook. I purchased a cookie sheet (and left it for the next renters) as the one on site was literally rusted and fortunately I took my own casserole dish. Otherwise it was a fabulous retreat and a great place at the beach!

Joan M - Posted: 3/1/2020

Beautifully updated! Great view and access to the beach!

Angie S - Posted: 9/1/2019

Fabulous views from the great room and beautifully updated.

Sharon B - Posted: 8/1/2019

We love the openness of the great room and the spectacular views of the ocean and beach!

Sharon B - Posted: 8/1/2018

Oceanfront! Short walk to beach! Internet is awesome

Rhoda V - Posted: 6/1/2018

Wonderful ocean views! This house has everything you need and will accommodate a large family. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of your basic kitchen needs. We would love to stay again.

Cagney O - Posted: 9/1/2017

Sea watcher was wonderful. We loved that the kitchen and social areas could be closed off to the bedroom wing. The views and windows allowed constant companionship with the beautiful ocean. We never bothered packing drinks or snacks for the beach because the house is just steps away. The house was very clean and well appointed!

Drew F - Posted: 7/1/2017

The house was so roomy and had a great view.
All the kitchen items were there.
TVs in most rooms.
Right on the beach!!!!

Janice C - Posted: 6/1/2017

Sea Watcher is a lovely home with gorgeous views of the ocean. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to return. Our only suggestion would be to consider replacing the mattress in the master bedroom and doing a little kitchen inventory to see what could be added (a cutting board, for example). The screen on the door also needs major work!

Laura W - Posted: 9/1/2016

Our view from this home was amazing. It was clean, well stocked and very comfortable and cozy. We'll be revisiting every year!!!

Amanda D - Posted: 5/1/2016

The Sea Watcher has the best view of the ocean on the island. It's a perfect house for an extended family, with a large common area and private spaces for everyone. Amazing kitchen and four different shower locations are a plus. Bravo!

The large windows facing the ocean provide a panoramic view so you are 'at the beach' even when you are inside. Being able to see the waves and wildlife was the best part of the time there. We loved the tangerine paint on the outside The interior layout is really well thought out. All on one level but you can close a door and separate living area from bedroom area so it stays quiet for those who are sleeping if others are watching tv or listening to music. The central room has a high ceiling bringing in lots of light and has two sitting ares, one for tv and the other for reading and looking out at the ocean so you have a choice. Also two tables, one for the meals, and the other for games or work. These features make this room very multi-purpose. Bedrooms are well appointed and bathrooms large. Kitchen is easy to work in and integrated into living area. This is a lovely house that looks small on the outside but uses space efficiently. We would happily stay there again!

The Sea Watcher name is so appropriate for this home, great views from living areas and deck. The house was very comfortable for our whole family and met all our needs. I appreciated not having to navigate a lot of stairs, especially to get to the beach. We would definitely rent this comfy cottage again.

Darlene S - Posted: 8/1/2013

We loved the views and that there weren't too many stairs. Having everything on one level was a real plus. This was a great vacation.
