Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great location but read review. The home is in a great location and has a great level of seclusion. It’s also a quick trip to the beach or pool via golf cart. The layout is perfect for a small family of 3-5.We stay yearly at beach houses in Emerald Isle and Outer Banks and comparatively speaking this house lacks upkeep and needs more basic amenities. Not to go into details upon arrival we had no hot water and little water pressure. After 2 calls and 2 text messages the following day both of these were repaired by 3pm but loss of beach time. The pressure issue was due to the water softener not being maintained so the management bypassed it to get the pressure back and had to replace the hot water tank. We had an issue with the A/C on Wednesday but was quickly resolved. The back porch and in general needs a fresh coat of paint. The glass patio door has a bar to lock because the lock is broke. Numerous lights are burnt out throughout the house. On the amenities side there are very few glasses, cups and plates. You have to wash after every meal or you don’t have enough for the next meal. The house would be very cute if it was given attention to reach its full potential. The community is wonderful and is the management company. We have stayed at other houses in this community and have nothing but praise. ![Back deck.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4184a2b-db15-4877-9bce-7543f22568e1-1753278761887.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirt around most doors.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b4404dd6-dc6c-4392-b174-d3b05943b407-1753278761746.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![How the locked the patio door.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/88c1b1aa-1ece-465b-8d45-d79f9532c65b-1753278761665.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jodi H.

House was simple and perfect with a covered front porch and a screened in side porch. There is a lot of wildlife, including turtles, frogs, ducks and rabbits! The golf cart was a much appreciated added bonus! Short ride to a deckboard walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend! ##### Michelle H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sue B. Aug 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely adorable rental! I don't think the pictures on line do this house justice, it is absolutely adorable. It has a front porch which looks out over the road, a back porch which looks out over a little pond and it also has a screened in porch, which is great for morning coffee or game night. It does include towels and sheets, which is nice not to have to worry about packing those things. The golf cart was perfect for driving to the beach access or pool, but it wasn't too far to walk if you so choose. The kitchen is fairly well stocked, the living room is very spacious and comfortable. The master bedroom has an attached bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a small stand up shower. It was very clean and bright. My only issue is that there were no hangers in any of the closets, so we left our things in our suitcases, which is only a minor inconvenience. The house is very private with trees all around, you could see the neighbors pool, but other than that, lots of privacy. It is located just a couple miles from many of the fun things to do in Emerald Isle. It is a little pricey, but I would recommend this rental for your family of up to 6 people. ##### Sue B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
