Oceanfront Living at Its Finest
The main level of Crystal Sea is designed to bring the beauty of the ocean indoors, creating a space that’s equal parts relaxing and inspiring. Adorned with coastal decor, the spacious living room features a wall of windows and glass doors that frame the shoreline, offering sea views no matter where you sit. Soft coastal tones, high ceilings, and comfortable seating make it the perfect spot to watch a movie, catch up with loved ones, or enjoy the sound of the waves in the background.
The gourmet kitchen is a coastal cook’s dream, outfitted with high-end appliances and plenty of prep space for everything from grilled fish tacos to early morning shrimp and grits. The space boasts two islands, one with three barstools and the other with four, giving guests ample room to snack, chat, and hang out while meals come together.
Just steps away, the formal dining room seats eight and offers a welcoming setting for shared meals and good conversation, all with a view of the ocean. If dining outdoors is more your style, a second table with seating for eight awaits on the deck, great for sunset dinners or casual bites in the sea breeze.
With three levels of decks, everyone can find their favorite spot, whether it’s curled up with a book, enjoying an afternoon beverage, or watching the tide roll in. And with two laundry rooms, even a week of swimsuits and beach towels is a breeze to handle.
Evenings Wrapped in Ocean Breezes
At Crystal Sea, the four bedrooms offer a calming escape at the end of each sun-soaked day. With soft coastal touches and thoughtful details, each one invites you to drift off to the sound of the waves.
The top-floor primary suite is a true haven, featuring a king bed, sweeping ocean views, and a luxurious private bath. The spa-like bathroom includes a custom-tiled shower and a deep soaking tub, perfect for letting the day melt away.
On the second floor, three additional bedrooms continue the theme of breezy coastal comfort. One room features a queen bed with ocean views, while another offers a second king bed, giving multiple guests a chance to wake up to the sound and sight of the ocean.
The fourth bedroom is designed with younger guests in mind, featuring two sets of single bunk beds, a TV, and even a peek at the ocean through the windows. Imagine a spot kids instantly claim as their own. It’s fun and welcoming yet still gives them just enough independence to feel grown-up. After a movie marathon or a sun-soaked day, this room promises sweet dreams and happy memories.
Beach Days and Beyond
Steps from the sand, Crystal Sea offers the kind of beach vacation you dream about. Spend your days dipping your toes in the surf, strolling the beach in search of seashells, or relaxing beneath a Shibumi shade as the waves roll in. Pets are welcome too, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the beachside fun right along with you. Whether you’re soaking up the morning light or enjoying the golden glow before dusk, this seaside backdrop encourages everyone to slow down and savor the moment.
For a calmer pace, nearby Bogue Sound offers a peaceful spot for paddleboarding, kayaking, or letting little ones wade in the gentle waters. When you’re ready for a break from the beach, the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes it simple to rinse off before heading inside for a snack or afternoon rest.
The fun continues at the nearby community pools, tennis courts, a playground, and walking trails, offering activities for all ages. As evening rolls in, fire up the gas grill and enjoy a relaxed dinner on the deck featuring the fresh local catch, grilled veggies, and your favorite coastal sides. Then, slip into the private hot tub for a blissful soak as the day winds down.
A quick drive from the house brings you to local gems like the North Carolina Aquarium, Fort Macon State Park, Emerald Isle, and Atlantic Beach.
