Twice the Space, Twice the Opportunity

Located in Emerald Isle, 512 Ocean Drive E&W offers a unique opportunity to own an oceanview duplex that blends coastal comfort with exceptional versatility. With two mirror-image residences under one roof, this well-established property opens the door to a variety of possibilities—whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a vacation retreat, a multi-generational home, or an investment with proven rental success.

Offering a total of eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, this duplex is thoughtfully designed to maximize both comfort and functionality while embracing the relaxed lifestyle Emerald Isle is known for.

Designed for Gathering and Relaxing

Each side of the duplex features an identical floor plan, making the property equally appealing for personal use or vacation rentals.

The first level welcomes guests with a spacious gathering room complete with a convenient kitchenette, durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, two flexible bonus rooms, a guest bedroom with a private ensuite bath, and an additional full hall bath. Whether you're hosting extended family, accommodating extra guests, or creating additional recreational space, the flexible layout adapts to your needs.

Upstairs, the open-concept living area serves as the heart of each home. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living spaces, creating an inviting setting for meals, conversation, and time together after a day at the beach.

The upper level also includes two guest bedrooms that share a full bath, along with a spacious primary suite featuring its own private ensuite bath.

Outdoor Spaces Made for Coastal Living

Life at the beach naturally extends outdoors, and this property is designed to make the most of its surroundings.

Covered and open-air decks provide the perfect places to enjoy your morning coffee, gather with friends in the evening, or simply relax while taking in the refreshing ocean breeze. From many vantage points you'll enjoy beautiful ocean views, while select bedrooms also capture peaceful views of the sound, creating a setting that's both scenic and serene.

Flexible Living with Proven Rental Success

One of the greatest advantages of 512 Ocean Drive E&W is the flexibility it offers. The duplex has an established rental history on both sides, making it an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking immediate income potential.

At the same time, the layout allows owners to tailor the property to their lifestyle. Live in one residence while renting the other, lease both sides as an investment, or reserve the entire property for family vacations and special gatherings. Few properties offer this level of adaptability in such a sought-after coastal location.

Discover the Best of Emerald Isle

Emerald Isle continues to be one of the Crystal Coast's most beloved destinations thanks to its wide sandy beaches, welcoming atmosphere, and endless outdoor recreation.

Spend your days boating, fishing, paddleboarding, or relaxing by the ocean before exploring local boutiques, waterfront restaurants, and fresh seafood favorites. Whether you're visiting for a weekend or calling Emerald Isle home year-round, you'll quickly discover why so many people return year after year.
