Loved the condo we were in. Very clean and updated. The outside of the property needs more attention to some upgrades. The elevator was not clean.

Nice clean condo in a good area. The only issue we had was that the linen company did not have linens in the unit and I had to call them at 9:30 at night to get them. Just remember to check for linens as soon as you get there.

Beautiful Breach Vacation

Everything was beautiful. Condo had everything we needed. Furnishing was perfect. Everything we needed was provided. The beaches were clean and beautiful. Easy access to food and entertainment. Shorewood realty were very nice and accommodating. We would definitely come back to Emerald Isle! Only thing we had issue with was lack of parking. We only had 2 parking permits and needed a third. There were no options with the condo to have an additional permit. Had to find a location off property to park a car. Other than that I we had a beautiful relaxing week.
