Emerald Isle Schools - a welcome surprise to newcomers
Emerald Isle schools are of great importance to families
moving to the area and all are happy to hear there is good news. In fact just
last year Croatan High School won a Silver Award from the US News & World Report
in December of 2008.
I have clients who are in the military and this is always one
of the first questions they ask: What are the Emerald Isle Schools like? This
has not been a issue for buyers loosing for a second home or for buyers looking
to find a home for sale in Emerald Isle that will be a great investment
property.
Safety is an issue for buyers moving to the area. Safety in
the schools and in general. Crime is low to virtually non-existent in Emerald
Isle. The schools rank high on safety. That is not to say they don't have
problems, like all schools they have issues, but on a relative scale they rank
very high in student care and concerns.
The links below will take you to the specific websites for
the Emerald Isle schools.

This picturesque subdivision of Lands End Emerald Isle North Carolina is found along Coast Guard Road on the west end of this emerald island. The majority of Emerald Isle's full time residents call the west end home.Lands End subdivision is considered by some the most exclusive and premier subdivision the island has to offer.
Don't expect to go touring through Lands End. They are serious about their gated community and they have a guard at the gatehouse to check in all registered guests visiting property. Don't worry if you're not on the list. They will gladly telephone your host on your behalf.

Community amenities in this ocean front subdivision include clubhouse, beach walkway, pool and four tennis courts. Roads are private and the utilities are run underground. The beaches are as inviting for those who want to play and relax in the sun as to those who enjoy angling for the catch. The private Lands End Emerald Isle walkway will carry you through the dunes to the awaiting surf.

Emerald Isle - Pamper yourself at the beach!
Emerald Isle is a grand destination for enjoying the beach, the ocean, fishing, jet skis, kayaks, tennis, water slides, miniature golf, go carts, dinning and many other fun activities while visiting or vacationing. One thing to remember is there are also great places to pamper yourself. Take an hour or two and visit Ocean Nails in the Emerald Plantation.
Take the time to have your nails done to perfection while sipping a delicious cup of coffee from Beans & Screens Coffee Shop next door.
Or relax a while in the massage chairs while having a pedicure and foot massage.
Chris, the owner, told me that many a client has been known to fall asleep while having their pedicure, listening to relaxing music, and having the chair massage their body. Just so you know the salon policy is: we don't wake them up we just let them relax and rest.
If you want a full body massage they offer that too. Treat yourself to the full works. Here is their price list.
Walk-Ins are Welcome
Appointments are Recommended
(especially for lager parties)
Gift Certificates are Available
Ocean Nails & Spa
Monday through Saturday 9:30am - 7:00pm

Individuals, groups, families, friends, wedding parties and parties in general are welcomed. Many wedding parties who have beach weddings at the Dolphin Ridge Beach Club enjoy arriving a few days early and beginning their celebration with a girls day at the spa at Ocean Nails. Give them a call
Take a break from family and friends at the beach, tell them you are headed to Food Lion to get some groceries then drop into Ocean Nails & Spa next door for some pampering.

Grande Villas Luxury Condos Indian Beach
Thursday evening a couple of the agents in the office and I drove east down the island to Indian Beach to attend a reception and tour at the Grande Villas. They been great about keeping us REALTORS up to date on their progress and promotions, but there is not substitute for in person visits.
As their website header boasts - move in now. Indeed they do have owners and visitors making use of the beautiful facilities.
It was a windy evening last Thursday but it is obvious that the Grande Villas has nice high dunes,
expansive beach and beach chairs and umbrellas for its guests.
The ocean side facade of the Grande Villas is quite impressive. All the rooms are ocean front rooms with great views. What a terriffic design.
The fitness room at the grande villas boasts an inviting atmosphere, clean locker rooms, a game room with pool table & video games and a wonderful ocean view.
There are great sitting areas indoors and out for guests. The pool is large and the flowing fountain is sure to be a hit among the children who can't resist getting their hands wet.
The interiors of the units are done first class with granite in the kitchen and guest baths, marble in the master bath counters and showers, stainless steel appliances, wood or white cabinets.
There are 2, 3 and 4 bedroom layouts. Diana Oebbecke, Linda Hughs and I all loved the furnished 2 bedroom on the first floor. We thought the penthouse 4 bedroom was quite nice too.
Furniture packages are available at additional cost.
Each owner has 2 parking spaces, one in the garage and one in the open air lot. They even have a "dog park" a fenced area where you can let Rover run and play.
Intereste in the Grande Villas? Contact me and we'll visit them to find something that fits your needs.
