“Spivey’s Korner” Ocean Views, Easy Steps to quiet sandy Beach - secure WiFi

The outdoor pool opens around the first week of May and closes the first week of October (subject to weather conditions). This nicely maintained ocean view townhouse is located approximately 15 miles between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle on North Carolina's Crystal Coast. The semi-secluded location offers a non-crowded beach just a few steps from the door, with convenient access to local restaurants, attractions, and shopping. Nearby attractions include the NC Aquarium, Fort Macon, and the historic town of Beaufort.

The townhouse boasts ocean views, with natural scenery visible from the dining room and master bedroom balconies. Wi-Fi is available, and we provide private secure internet access within the unit. The complex features a swimming pool and oceanfront decks for renters to enjoy.

The unit includes three bedrooms and two and a half baths, with a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the second bedroom has a queen-size bed, the third bedroom has two twin-size beds, and there is a queen-size sofa bed in the living room. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, two flat-screen TVs with cable (a Samsung Smart TV in the living room and a Roku Smart TV in the master bedroom), DVD players, a TV with Roku access to Xfinity in the queen bedroom, removable bed rails for small children, a high chair, a pak-n-play, and a variety of books and games.

Here are the updates and changes made over the years:
In 2025-2026, we undertook an exterior remodel of the buildings, which included new siding, paint, and railings. Additionally, we updated the two sliding doors to the unit.

2024 brought new ceiling fan in living room and new exterior faucet

In 2023, we added a new Roku TV in the Master bedroom, a new microwave, beach chairs, and a coffee pot. Moving back to 2022, we replaced the Central Air Conditioner and Heat Pump, installed a new glass-top electric stove, and added a Polywood table and chairs on the deck. We also installed new flooring in the entry, stairs, landings, and bathrooms, and upgraded the Master and Guest bathrooms with comfort height Toto toilets. A Roku was installed on the TV in the Queen bedroom as well.

In 2021, the deck was furnished with Polywood outdoor rockers and a table, new windows were installed, a new hot water heater was added, the deck floor was newly painted, and a Samsung 55” Smart TV was placed in the living room. In 2020, a new screen door was installed on the boardwalk, and touch door locks were added.

In 2019, the entire house was repainted, and all bathrooms received new lights, mirrors, sinks, faucets, countertops, and cabinetry. New window treatments, a new garbage disposal, and a new kitchen light were also added. In 2018, all bedrooms received new mattresses, and the kitchen was stocked with new dishes, utensils, and comfort amenities such as cushions and pillows.

In 2017, a brand-new AC unit installed, as well as a sofa bed and love seat. In 2016, we added a brand-new refrigerator, dishwasher, and dryer. In 2015, the kitchen received a granite countertop, sink, and faucet. Finally, in 2014, we installed a tile floor in the kitchen, half bath, and dining room area, and added a TV in the Master bedroom.

This property was purchased in 2017 from a fellow ocean lover who wants to make sure your time at the beach is comfortable, relaxed and allows you to just enjoy the experience of being on the water and sand. I am in the process of updating and making changes.

Our friends and family 2025 beach vacation

We had a wonderful time on our friends and family beach vacation at Spivey’s Corner. Our house was just as it was described being steps away from the beach access. It was very comfortable and had a lot of amenities on site which was very nice. Everyone had such a good time hanging out at the beach followed by the pool on site and sitting outside on the deck enjoying the evening breeze. Lots of fishing on the beach along with a very successful fishing charter. We enjoyed some local restaurants in Emerald Isle as well. The property is very quiet and secluded which was a plus for our group. All in all our stay was a big thumbs up from everyone.

Great location

This property was an excellent layout for us. Bedrooms on two floors offers more privacy. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a first floor entry/laundry area which provided space for our beach bags and sandy shoes. As the third unit from the beach, it was an easy walk to the ocean and an equally short walk to the pool. We were thrilled with our stay and will most definitely look forward to visiting again.

Excellent Beach House!

My family and I had a wonderful vacation! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat. We all enjoyed the layout which has a king sized bed with a private bath (and balcony), a queen bed in the other large room, and twin beds for the kids in the middle level room. This worked perfectly for our family which consisted of 4 adults and 2 young children. We spent a large amount of time at the pool which is well kept, large and shaded during parts of the day. Everyone is incredibly friendly and there are plenty of places to explore close to the beach house (goofy golf, restaurants, pizza (that delivers!), Fort Macon, Beaufort, etc. Klaudia is exceptional to work with. Very communicative and helpful if you need her. Would highly recommend for anybody looking for a quick walk to both the beach and pool.

Fabulous Location

The proximity of the beach to this rental was incredible. Taking all of our beach “necessities” down to the sand only took minutes. Also the ability to go in and out through the laundry room (ground floor) and the living room (main floor) made things super convenient. The views of the ocean from the porch and master deck were great. The way that the unit is laid out and the soaring ceilings gave space and privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining room provided a great space for meals. Bedrooms were spacious with the twin bed room being the smallest. The furniture in the living room was very comfy and there was plenty of room in there to watch TV, play a game or read. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was so helpful. Another great thing about Spivey’s Korner was its convenience to restaurants, grocery store, putt-putt golf and the aquarium. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting to rent a family-friendly place at the beach with ocean views and easy beach access. It was wonderful and our family made memories!

Perfect getaway!

I am so glad we found this place while booking our vacation! It was perfect. Only steps away from the ocean, which was never overly crowded! Having the pool on the lot was awesome too for when we wanted a break from the waves. Check in was a breeze and the location was easy to find! The kitchen was stocked up with everything we would have needed to cook meals when we didnt want to go out to eat! Klaudia was an amazing host! She always responded very quickly and even went out of her way to send me info on different events going on in the area at the time of our stay! Thank you again, Klaudia, for welcoming my family into your home! We will definitely be back, maybe for good! 😃

I am already missing Spivey’s Korner! The condo is very well appointed and plenty of space for everyone to put their belongings in drawers and closets without tripping over suitcases. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook all three meals if you wish. Just steps from the beach it is an absolutely lovely condo. We highly recommend families give Spivey‘s Korner a try on their next vacation at Ocean Glen.

Great house and great location

This house is in great shape, very clean and was laid out in a way that was convient for our family. The beach is amazing, and not crowded at all. The bonus that sold us on this rental over others was the pool, which was nice for the kids to transition to after several hours of playing on the beach. Communication from the owner was excellent both before and during the stay. We will strongly consider staying here again.

What a gem

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Very easy access to the beach, and the complex has a pool. The house is cleverly laid out to make full use of space. Because there is no condos nearby, the beach is not crowded. This location is a nice find. Not as expensive as the single family houses in Emerald Isle, but just as nice for a family. The property manager is very responsive and we had everything we needed. We look forward to another visit here.

Great Beach Getaway!

The location of the property cannot be beat. Right on the beach, and plenty of room to spread out. The unit was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Both my 9 and 13 year old liked it as well. The only thing missing is a direct view of the ocean from the living spaces, but we enjoyed the large common area deck to get our evening views in. Note that there 4 levels/sets of stairs in the unit, so it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Communication was A+.

Perfect Beach Vacation Spot

Our family could not have been more pleased with this beach property! The location is unbelievable, just steps to private beach access. Gorgeous sunrise and ocean views from the master bedroom as well as the porch. The home has everything you need for a great vacation as well as comforts that make the vacation that much better. I read two paperback books while we visited from the library they have in the upstairs hall. The different levels allow for plenty of space to spread out and relax. The unit was super clean and just allowed us to settle in quickly. There is an abundance of beach and pool items available and outdoor hose to clean off. The pool feels very private and is easily accessible from property. Finally, communication with the owner was beyond easy and the keyless entry on both doors made the process seamless. The area was really peaceful, lots of dolphin sightings and some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen in the Atlantic. Just wonderful all around!

A week in paradise

Steps from the beach, and a short walk across the street to a neighboring community with a pier out onto the sound. That’s the best of both worlds! Very timely and helpful communication with the owner when needed. Views of the ocean from main level and master balconies. And the beach was almost empty, was like we had our own private beach all to ourselves. Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!
