Keystone West West - Emerald Isle Paradise

Beautiful 4 bedroom, 3and 1/2 bath half duplex sitting right on the beach. Nothing to do here except relax and enjoy the sea breezes from either of our 2 decks.

Dining room table seats 8 plus 4 bar stools at kitchen island. Additionally, top floor also has queen bedroom with smart TV and full bath with shower.

Middle level provides a queen bedroom with smart TV, twin room with 2 beds (with 1 trundle bed) and shared hall bathroom with walk in shower. Also on the middle level, master bedroom has direct access to deck facing the ocean. Master has 2 closets and TV with cable. Master bath includes dual vanity, soaking tub with separate shower. Full size washer and dryer on second level.

First level family room provides extra living space with cable TV in case of a rainy day or extra guests with a pull out couch and half bath. Outdoor shower, covered picnic table and grilling area, and plenty of parking round out what this home has to offer.

The house is also close to stores, restaurants, aquarium, mini-golf courses and the Emerald Isle pier. Don t miss out on staying at this little slice of paradise!

Beautiful location on the beach. We couldn't have asked for a better a location! We really enjoyed the home and the awesome beach access. Knocking a star as it's not as quite set up for people traveling by plane such as no beach towels provided, no laundry detergent, soap, etc. we had to purchase quite a few things to stay there for a week.

Amazing beachfront home. Layout functioned extremely well for our family. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful decor, comfortable furniture, beautifully updated bathrooms. This property was so clean and the linen service was great. The sheets were not the typical "hospital grade rough" sheets, and the bathtowels were fluffy and absorbant. Overall, it was possibly one of the best properties we've stayed at throughout the southern coast of North Carolina. We were so happy we booked again for next year! Thank you for opening your gorgeous home to us!

Exactly what is expected

Everything was exactly as listed, that close to the beach you cant get all the sand out in between guests, awesome communication between owner and property management company. The neighbors that own the other half were pleasant and friendly.

Wonderful Stay

Perfect beach getaway in spite of a little bad weather! House was clean with a great layout for our young family. Short walk through the backyard to the beach- extremely convenient bathroom in the basement when needing a quick pit stop. We will definitely be back!

Exceptional Place of Stay

The house was exceptional! It was clean, and roomy. The kitchen have everything that you would need. Loved the top floor balcony with the chairs that sits up high to view the beach and the ocean. Very short pathway to the beach. The food stores and etc is conveniently very close by. The Black Pearl Miniature Gulf is down the road on Reed Street. My husband and I had fun there. The employee that works there is very nice to talk to. A very big souvenir shop of Emerald Island merchandise is right next to the miniature golf place as well on Reed Street. My husband and I really liked staying at "Keystone Kottage".

Wonderful home on the beach for the extended family

We had a wonderful time at this beach house. Very convenient to the beach as we just walked through the backyard to a brief path and we were on the beach. Our part of the beach was pleasantly less crowded that many other parts. The house was spacious, clean and well stocked with supplies. The hosts were also very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely book again in the future if we needed a house this size on the beach of Emerald Isle.

Fantastic place

This rental helped make our vacation with friends magical. It is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. We had a beautiful view of the beach and a quick walk over the dunes to actually get there. The host, Sue, is great at communicating details and had us fully prepared for our stay. She had infinite patience for my many, many questions.
