About this home

Perfectly positioned in the highly desirable Maritime Place community, 3 Old Marina Drive enjoys what many consider to be the premier location on Ocean Isle Beach--nestled at the top of Shallotte Boulevard with unobstructed panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and some of the most spectacular sunsets you'll ever experience. From the moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn to endless water views that seem to stretch for miles. Designed with a reverse floor plan to maximize the breathtaking scenery, this beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath coastal retreat offers approximately 2,000 heated square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. The expansive top-floor living area captures incredible natural light and showcases the stunning water views from nearly every angle, creating the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends or simply relaxing while watching boats cruise the Intracoastal Waterway. An elevator provides effortless access to every floor, while durable Hardie siding offers low-maintenance coastal living for years to come. Outside, the large fenced backyard provides plenty of space for children, pets, outdoor entertaining, or even future enhancements, while the home's two garages offer abundant room for vehicles, golf carts, beach gear, and all of your boating equipment. One of the greatest advantages of Maritime Place is the incredible sense of community and the outstanding amenities. Forget the expense and maintenance of a private pool--the beautiful community swimming pool is just steps from your front door and is professionally maintained year-round, allowing you to simply enjoy it whenever you like. You are also allowed to short term rent in this community so your renters are always taken care of with all of the amenities that they need. For boating enthusiasts, Maritime Place also features a community dock on the Intracoastal Waterway, providing easy access to the water for boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. While this home does not currently include a deeded boat slip, slips periodically become available to homeowners within the community, offering an exciting opportunity for future ownership. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the shimmering Intracoastal Waterway, spending your afternoons at the beach just moments away, or ending the day with one of Ocean Isle Beach's legendary sunsets painting the sky in brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple, this home delivers an experience that is simply unmatched. If you've been searching for exceptional water views, an unbeatable island location, boating access, outstanding community amenities, and effortless coastal living, 3 Old Marina Drive truly represents one of the finest opportunities available on Ocean Isle Beach. Homes with views like these rarely become available--and once you experience them, you'll understand why this is considered one of the most special locations on the island.
