The three bedrooms upstairs allowed our kids to have some freedom while we slept downstairs. The beds were very comfortable. The cul-de-sac preserves quiet. The walk to the beach is minimal. The beach is beautiful in July. One of our favorite beaches we have been to along the east coast. Water is clean and warm. The area is lively enough but not erratically so. The host was kind and helpful but not intrusive. Overall, a great location for a family beach trip. We will definitely like to come back. ##### Tony F.

The house was very comfortable for our family (ages 2-63). The location was quiet while also being very close to the beach, attractions and food/groceries. My father immediately asked for the property ID to rent again. ##### justin h. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah H.

Short walk to the beach. They had beach chairs/buckets/wagon/small cooler for us. That was so nice to be able to bring to the beach. We all loved the boogie boards. Lots of fun and would come back again. ##### Sarah H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate F.

With four bedrooms and three baths, each of us had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and the location was hard to beat. Diane was available for answering questions but the property was well equipped with its own instruction manual that provided all the answers we needed. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Kate F.

Thoroughly enjoyed the house. Perfect for our family of 5 adults and two children. The house was supplied with everything that was needed and even items we didn’t think of (ie. baby gates for the stairs). Quiet, private,(partial )view of the ocean. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you! ##### Angela C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly J.

It’s clean and has everything you need! We love not having to bring our own linens. Toilet paper, paper towels, liquid soap, beach chairs, boogie boards, laundry detergent, dish detergent is all provided. The hose and outdoor shower is very handy for washing off all the sand! The beach is just a short walk down. Will definitely be back next year for our family’s annual vacation 🏖️ ##### Holly J. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara D.

I visited with my mother and my two children (ages 13 and 14) and we had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The location is perfect - close to the beach but also to shopping & other fun activities. The beach is stunning and we loved swimming and boogie boarding with all of the supplies provided (a generous assortment of well-cared for beach gear). The house itself was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. And, our host was so welcoming and helpful during our stay. I've stayed at many rental properties and can say that this was one of the nicest and most comfortable. I hope that we'll be able to return sometime! ##### Kara D.

Everything about this experience and this home was great! Diane was easy to work with on flexible on days. SO that was good before we even got to the house. Once in the house was SPOTLESS. The beds were super comfortable the sheets and towels soft. Every corner was well stocked. I brought TP, paper towels, etc, unnecessarily! All there. Plenty of pots and pans, plates, silverware etc. Refrigerator was also spotless! The beach chairs were in great shape, some were even new! Best quality beach chairs, boogie board and even corn hole. Easy walk to beach, especially with the cart. Diane has set up this house to insure you and you group have a great time enjoying wonderful Emerald Isle. We will definitely be back again. The beach itself is nice, and wide, quiet and clean. Great ‘lil beach house in a heart of a great ‘lil beach town. ##### Laura G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy I.

Very clean and comfortable. Lots of room for a family or two. The TWO decks were so relaxing to sit out on and listen to the waves. You can see the waves between the houses across the street. Nice large dining room table. Kitchen well stocked if you wanted to cook. Bathrooms were nice and I appreciated the handheld showerhead which made it easier to help bathe my special needs son. Beds were comfortable. I appreciated being able to sign in to my Hulu and Netflix for the duration of my stay. There are plenty of beach chairs so that you don't have to bring your own. Beach access is just 4 houses down the road, not a bad walk at all. Once you get to the beach, that area was never overly crowded. When you return back to the house from the beach, this property has a convenient outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. Very handy! Grocery stores and restaurants were all nearby. Diane was quick to provide check in info and reply to messages. She even let us know about events in the area. It is obvious she maintains her property and wants you to enjoy your stay. Check out procedures were quick and easy. It was our first time staying in a duplex property. We never heard our neighbors except in passing in the driveway and they were just another nice family enjoying their vacation. I would definitely recommend this property to others. ##### Stacy I.

In the 10 years since we've vacationed with our grown children, all agree this is the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Well-equipped, with comfy beds, great AC, and super clean! 3 bathrooms were ideal for our 3 couples. There was a crib, but it turned out the trundle bed was actually perfect the 2-yr-old in our group. The living room furniture was ample, and the dining room table gave us lots of room to gather for meals. We also made good use of the deck. It provided an extra play space for our toddler, and the view of the ocean was a bonus. And so convenient! The beach was just a short walk away. We made several walking trips to Publix and Food Lion. Two of the evenings we walked to and along the bike/walking path that runs beside Emerald Drive. Pretty much everything we needed was within walking distance, though we did drive twice - to the playground at Blue Heron Park and to the wonderful aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Diane was great at responding through the VRBO site to all my questions. The welcome letter she sent shortly before our stay included much more useful information than I remember ever receiving for a stay anywhere else. She was also very available by text. Our only complaint was that we didn’t like the taste of the water. But a quick trip to the grocery store for bottled water solved that. It would definitely not keep us from staying there again. We are already talking about trying to reserve this rental the next time we are in E.I.! ##### Marcia & Woody M.
