Property Description
A Rare and Extraordinary Gem in Emerald Isle! Some properties are special. Others are truly unforgettable. The Nautilus on Ocean Drive is one of those rare properties that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. This extraordinary oceanfront estate offers an unparalleled combination of luxury, scale, entertainment, and coastal living that is nearly impossible to duplicate on the Crystal Coast. Featuring an impressive 10 bedrooms and 11.5 baths, this magnificent home was designed with large groups and unforgettable gatherings in mind. From the beautifully appointed interiors to the expansive outdoor spaces, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The property is offered fully furnished, allowing a new owner to step into an established luxury vacation experience from day one. The Nautilus is currently operating as a successful vacation rental with a Sunday turn day and has consistently generated approximately $380,000 in gross rental income per year. Guests consistently rave about their stays, and it is easy to see why. This is far more than a beach house--it is a complete coastal retreat designed to entertain, relax, and create memories. Step inside and discover an incredible array of amenities, including a full home theater, wet bar, pool table, card/poker table, shuffleboard, arcade games, elevator, sauna, and private gym featuring a cross-trainer bike and rowing machine. There is even a second level of entertainment and gathering space, making this home ideal for families and groups of all ages. The kitchen is truly a showpiece and designed to accommodate large gatherings, featuring four ovens, three microwaves, three dishwashers, numerous refrigerators and ice makers, and a wine refrigerator. One of the home's most distinctive details is the custom tiled nautical map backsplash featuring our local waters. The unique curved bar area creates another gathering space and adds an unforgettable architectural detail. Throughout the home, the bedrooms have been individually designed with remarkable attention to detail. Each has its own character while maintaining the home's sophisticated coastal feel. Among the standout spaces is the Cape Lookout Bedroom, a special tribute to one of the area's most iconic landmarks. The bathrooms are equally impressive, featuring gorgeous tile, granite, and thoughtful finishes that elevate the experience well beyond that of an ordinary vacation rental. And then there is the outdoor living. Step onto the covered oceanfront decks and take in the endless views and sounds of the Atlantic. These expansive spaces are perfect for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the spectacular coastal scenery. When it's time to head to the beach, your private walkway provides direct access to the sand. The outdoor amenities continue with an oceanfront heated swimming pool, massive pool deck, hot tub, outdoor shower, and grill area. The expansive pool deck is one of the property's standout features, offering an incredible space for entertaining, relaxing in the sun, gathering with family, or enjoying an evening under the stars. The home's incredible decor is another feature that truly sets it apart. The attention to detail throughout is extraordinary, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and inviting. From the individually designed bedrooms to the custom touches throughout the common areas, this home was created to make an impression--and it does. For an investor, The Nautilus offers the opportunity to acquire an established luxury vacation rental with a proven rental history and approximately $380,000 in consistent annual gross rental income. For someone seeking a personal coastal retreat, it offers an extraordinary place where generations of family and friends can gather, relax, and enjoy everything that makes Emerald Isle special. And for those looking for both--a remarkable vacation home with substantial rental potential
