What a great spot! We planned a really last minute stay and our first at the point. It did not disappoint. The home was great. Had lots of built in activities even with rain all day! The quick access was much better than the long walk we didn’t first day. Home owners and hosts were great. We would 100% stay again.!

Great place to stay for parties around 6-8!

While this property isn't right on the water, there's a great little walkway directly to the beach access. We happened to stay while a cyclone ripped through the area, so keep in mind that this walkway can get flooded during the rainy season. Even so, it's easy enough to just take the road around the block. We loved having the ping pong area in the basement, and having the house pre-stocked with necessities was a major plus. There were some bikes on the property that worked great, and we even took the corn hole to the beach. Last, David and Biljana are amazing and responsive, I highly recommend the place!

Absolutely wonderful

We had a fabulous time! The house was beautiful and so spacious. Everything we needed was supplied. There was a cabinet of board games and a game room downstairs. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and appliances that made it easy to cook and serve food. The host was communicative even before we checked in. It was a dream vacation!

The Perfect First Visit to Emerald Isle

We ventured to Emerald Isle with another family and was impressed with the vacation home. The home was clean, spacious, comfortable, and accommodating. The host communicated with us prior to arriving and that gave us comfort with asking questions about our stay and protocol. We adored the shady walk to the beach and found it to be easy & quick for 4-6 year olds. We would recommend this home and host without hesitation and hope that we can return annually.

Can’t beat the location or house set up!

A fantastic location! Awesome amenities at the house. Loved the split level set up — game room on first, bedrooms on second, kitchen/living on third. Porches galore! We especially enjoyed them in the evenings and mornings. Beach was an easy/short walk for all ages (3 to 70). So many toys, chairs, bike offerings at the house too. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again.

Unprofessionalism With Property Manager

The place itself was lovely, in a great location and there were ample activities at the house to use, although half the bikes were barely holding together. The positives end there. Apparently one of our friends broke a patio seat. I apologized and told her to run it through the insurance. This did not stop them from sending multiple texts lecturing us about it. I thought that was the end of it, a lecture from someone that isn’t my mother, but no. A month after my stay I receive a text asking to mail back a Roku remote we “stole”. I don’t know why she would think we stole a cheap remote from her place, maybe because we are young 20 somethings that supposedly broke a chair, that insurance covered. This text a month later was completely unprofessional and completely uncalled for, because story didn’t even ask if we had it, they just assumed, telling us to mail it back. I would recommend this place if you are staying with a family maybe, but staying with friends and being treated like a child is not okay in any respect. We paid a pretty penny for the place, and bought insurance for the off-chance something did happen, and it covered the patio chairs. I do not need to be inappropriately lectured for the chair nor the remote we didn’t steal. In short, I would not stay here again because the professionalism was not there.

Spring break

This house and location were great! The owners check on us and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were so pleasant and communication was quick! We found the property to be clean and very comfortable- a true home away from home. We loved the quiet and seclusion. Plenty of things to do, but the beaches were the best! We could have easily stayed for another week. Thanks for an amazing trip!!
