Great location/ready for a refresh
This property has excellent access to the ocean with great views. The common areas of the property (living-dining room and kitchen) really need a deep cleaning of all the hard/soft surfaces and furniture could be refreshed. Bedrooms and baths are better. The sliding door to the deck from the living roomdoes not close all the way and the frame appears to be damaged. Owner responded promptly to an outside lighting issue that occurred.

Great House!
Very nice house with lots of amenities. A couple of maintenance items are going to be fixed, but it didn’t affect our stay. Unfortunately, tropical storm Debby dumped a lot of rain on us, but we were able to enjoy a few good beach days! Will plan to go back soon!

Great location oceanfront and close to a public dock on the sound (to paddle board), fantastic views, comfortable well-appointed house, and welcoming host. We enjoyed morning coffee and dinner on the deck. We love Emerald Isle and now have a favorite house. We can’t wait to return. Thank you.

Perfect location!
We loved the location of this house. Oceanfront, gorgeous views, somewhat private beach and not crowded at all anywhere along our beach. Close to several restaurants, mini- golf, aquarium, lots of hiking! Overall, for the price and location, we would absolutely go back!

Gorgeous view, great location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this vacation home. You can’t beat the view! The beds were comfortable and everything you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. We enjoyed using the bikes and the grill worked perfectly. Our only complaints are that the living room furniture was filthy and really needs a good upholstery clean and the carpets upstairs need to be cleaned as well. I know it is a pet friendly home but these two factors made the house feel unclean.

Quiet vacation
The view from this property is amazing. Watching the dolphins every evening and early morning when the tide was in seemed like they were putting on a private show for us- they were so close. If you want a beautiful quiet beach vacation with no walking and awesome views, if you want to wake up and see the ocean from your bed, this house is for you! Owners couldn’t have been nicer!

Wonderful stay! House is safe, pretty, and absolutely as advertised. Owner answered all questions and made check in very easy. House is right on beach. It is very well stocked. It has 2 nice bikes.

Great Stay in EI!
John and Gloria have a lovely home and are great hosts. It’s full of everything you need for your stay at the beach. The house is clean and well cared for. Owners are quick to respond to messages. For those familiar with Emerald Isle, the location of this house is ideal for running to the store if you need something and heading out on adventures like the aquarium.
