Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Great location on a quiet street, easy walking distance to the sound, modest walk to shops, short drive to the beach. Gated lot for the beach access was a big plus, but keep in mind you're quite close to the Pier with all the crowds, surfers and fishermen. The owner was easy to communicate with and quickly delivered the beach chairs that are mentioned in the listing but not actually kept at the property.Cons: House was barely cleaned. Floors were sandy, cobwebs in the bathrooms, moldy shower in one bathroom, house had a persistent moldy odor. The furnace filter, visible in a closet, likely has never once been changed. The furnishings are as pictured, but fairly uncomfortable once you have a chance to sit in them. If you've ever wondered what a house would be like if you bought everything from furniture to mattresses to linens at Walmart, this is the place for you.

Spring Break

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting Emerald Isle with our golden lab. The house's location makes it easy to walk to restaurants, the bakery, and around town. The turtles at the end of the lane are entertaining to watch and fun to feed. The owners are a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to any questions or problems. We really enjoyed our time away.

Wonderful home in great location!

My family stayed here for New Years Eve and the house was absolutely perfect. The open layout with kitchen, dining area and living room made for a very cozy and comfortable hang out area, and the three bedrooms was perfect for our family and mother in law. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed Location was perfect with a quick walk to the sound, minutes from shops and restaurants, and a very short drive to everything the island has to offer. Communication was great and made for an easy check in and check out. Definitely recommend!

This property was very well maintained. Both outside and inside. Every time you reached for something or needed something it seemed to be right where you would expect to find it. WELL STOCKED KITCHEN. Big pot, small pots, bowls, Tupperware. Even a labeled "popcorn bucket". The hostess was 110% responsive to all questions and requests and she is lovely. Can't go wrong with this pick! And the beds and that master shower!!!! Whoooweee great 👍

We had 6 adults and 2 children who stayed this weekend. The house was very up to date and clean. None of us had a single complaint. Nice location and quick access to the beach. I contacted the owner with a question on the first day and she was quick to answer my call and very friendly. We would definitely stay here again and recommend.

The property was exactly what our family needed to be comfortable at the beach. The outdoor shower was fantastic for getting the sand off of everything. Inside was just enough space for everyone to be comfortable. We look forward to coming back again.

Short trip to Emerald Isle

We had 6 adults and 2 kids and this house worked great for us! The private beach parking lot was nice and less than a mile away, could easily walk if you weren’t bringing a lot with you to the beach. The outdoor shower at the house was great and had the best water pressure of all 3 showers. Nice place!

Amazing and Clean Location ✨

Amazing location, amazing host, and extremely clean. Our host Amy, was fantastic with communication and when we had a slight issue come up she took care of it immediately. Also, we rented a golf cart from right up the road( was more affordable than I thought) and it was so fun riding through the neighborhood and there is a bridge at the end of the street the house is on that takes you to the private beach access once you cross the highway. We enjoyed riding the golf cart through the ocean front neighborhood too. Our 10 month old had such a good time riding around(you can strap car seat in). Can’t say enough good things- just book it! So glad we did!
