Marlee Acres is an intracoastal waterway community located halfway between Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach. The original developers were Mr. and Ms. Herring. Mr. Herring is deceased and Ms. Herring has relocated to the piedmont section of North Carolina. They kept tight control of the property only selling a few properties each year so they could control growth. No manufactured homes allowed. That is one factor that makes this community unique. As a visitor turns off highway 17 onto 904, they can turn left to go to Ocean Isle Beach or right to go to Sunset Beach. The highway that connects both beaches is highway 179. Perpendicular to that highway are a dozen or more roads that run straight to the intracoastal waterway. Oak Street, Camelot, and Harbor Drive are the street names in the community. There is no other community between these two beaches that will not allow manufactured home which has protected the value of current residents. Property owners are not required to join the Homeowners' Association but only those who are members are allowed to use the facilities. There are two piers, a boat ramp, and a swim area. The community is reminiscent of old beach areas of the 40's. Most people know their neighbors and community cookouts and socials are planned throughout the year. The area is wooded, the roads are paved, and the beachfront is bulkheaded. Shopping center, medical clinics, pharmacies, restaurants, coffee shop, and grocery stores are just minutes away. Within 10 minutes you can be laying out at Ocean Isle Beach or Sunset Beach. Properties range from $135,000-$325,000.
