Discover Emerald Point, A Semi Oceanfront Gem – 22193 Blue Sea Road, Rodanthe
Located semi oceanfront in desirable Mirlo Beach, this spacious 7 bedroom, 5 full and 2 half bath home offers beautiful oceanfront views, Pamlico Sound sunsets, beach access right across the street, and an impressive list of vacation rental friendly features. Add in its location beside Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, and you have a setting that feels a little more private and peaceful while still being convenient to everything the Tri Villages have to offer.
A Rodanthe Location That Stands Out
Location matters when buying an Outer Banks vacation rental, and Emerald Point has a great one.
The Mirlo Beach boardwalk access is right across the street, making it easy for guests to get from the house to the sand without loading up the car or searching for parking. Even better, the home’s semi oceanfront position provides oceanfront style views of the Atlantic from the upper level and decks.
Just down the road is Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, with miles of protected shoreline and beautiful natural surroundings. This gives the southern end of Rodanthe a wonderfully open feel and puts uncrowded stretches of beach, fishing, shell hunting, bird watching, and outdoor adventures practically at your doorstep.
And this location isn’t just about the ocean. Mirlo Beach also offers community sound access with a sandy beach, a great place to launch a kayak or paddleboard, relax by the water, or catch one of those unforgettable Hatteras Island sunsets. Community tennis and pickleball courts add another amenity for owners and guests to enjoy.
The Amenities Vacationers Want
Emerald Point is designed for enjoying the Outer Banks from morning until night.
The private saltwater swimming pool and 6 person hot tub were added in 2024, creating an outdoor space that is sure to be a favorite after a day at the beach. A poolside bar, outdoor shower, multiple decks, and plenty of room to relax round out the outdoor experience.
For an investor, these are also the types of amenities that can help a vacation rental stand apart when guests are comparing homes.
Seven Bedrooms and Plenty of Space
Inside, the three level floor plan gives larger groups room to gather while still providing separate spaces to spread out.
The first level features a game room with kitchenette, laundry area, queen bedroom, bedroom with two single beds, and shared bath. The second level includes a media room and four additional bedrooms, including two king master suites and two queen bedrooms.
The top floor is the heart of the home, with a bright and open great room, spacious kitchen, dining area, breakfast nook, and a king master suite. Best of all, this level takes advantage of the home’s setting with views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pamlico Sound.
An all floor elevator makes getting groceries, luggage, and guests from one level to another much easier.
A Kitchen Made for a Crowd
When you have seven bedrooms, you need a kitchen that can keep up!
Emerald Point delivers with dual dishwashers, dual ovens, dual sinks, generous counter space, and multiple dining areas. A new refrigerator, ice maker, and microwave were added in 2025.
Whether it is pancakes before a beach day, a big seafood dinner, or everyone gathering around the table at the end of the day, there is plenty of space for the whole crew.

Recent Improvements Add Value
Another plus for buyers is the number of recent improvements already completed.
The private saltwater pool, 6 person hot tub, and ground level LVP flooring were added in 2024. Improvements in 2025 include a new refrigerator, ice maker, microwave, outdoor shower, poolside sitting wall, and new landscaping around the pool.
For buyers considering an Outer Banks rental investment, recent updates combined with established vacation friendly amenities can be an important part of evaluating a property.
A Hatteras Island Investment Worth Seeing
Emerald Point checks a lot of boxes for buyers searching for Rodanthe real estate, Hatteras Island vacation homes, or Outer Banks investment properties.
You have 7 bedrooms, oceanfront views from a semi oceanfront location, beach access right across the street, a private saltwater pool, hot tub, elevator, game room, media room, community sound access, tennis and pickleball, and the natural beauty of Pea Island just down the road.
It is the kind of home that lets you enjoy both sides of Hatteras Island. Start the morning watching the Atlantic, spend the afternoon at the beach or pool, and finish the day with a Pamlico Sound sunset.
