There definitely needs to be wine glasses...there were absolutely no glasses appropriate for wine. Clearly, people rent both sides: one side had all the plates, the other side had more than its share of pots. Very frustrating. (We did try to leave with both sides equally distributed with glasses and dishes.) Honestly, if every bed is filled, there are not enough dishes for everyone. That said, we did enjoy the cottages. The beds were comfortable and it was clear that the owners had spent a significant amount of money fixing the place up. ##### MM C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria P.

We all thoroughly enjoyed everything, from the fantastic communication, your generous hospitality, and the well appointed (and extremely comfortable) accommodations. The heated pool was worth every penny, the hot tub was a huge hit, the rocking chairs were loved by all, the gates were certainly appreciated with a toddler, and the proximity of the beach couldn’t have been any better!

The common areas were appropriate size for 8 people. Other than the master bedroom the other bedrooms were quite tiny. We made it work though. Also, expected the master bath to be bigger. All in all, we were pleased with the units. ##### Rose G. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob S.

The view from the master bedroom in the morning is stunning, and the private deck off the master is an added touch. We loved the added feature of the pool as well. Plenty of bedrooms and amenities in a relatively small footprint. Recently remodeled, everything was a pleasure and just about perfect, seriously. Emerald Island is also a gem, quiet, beautiful and friendly. You cannot go wrong with the wonderful cottage! ##### Bob S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mickey D. Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home! Our family has rented a beach home every summer for many years. This was the best yet! It felt like home for our growing extended family. It was super clean when we arrived and even had some necessities that most homes don’t provide (hand soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.), so we didn’t need to run out asap to purchase them. The pool was great for the children when we weren’t on the beach. Overall an excellent stay and we hope to book again soon! ##### Mickey D.

We headed to Emerald Isle Beach for the first time Memorial weekend. Found the Sandlot and fell in love. The house is awesome. Duplex thats been totally updated and has a door connecting family rooms. Private and direct beach access, amazing decks, tons of parking, a pool and all very well equipped. Its changed our whole search criteria for any place we go. The managers/owners were very easy to deal with and the check in/out was about the easiest we've ever experienced.

Being right on the beach and having access to our own pool was definitely the key. The duplex was really great for the group we went with. A couple issues stemmed around empty propane tanks, although they came quickly to replenish just one of the 3, the cleaning needs work. Tons of dust and even bugs in one of the bunk beds (silver fish). We wished there were umbrellas at the pool for some reprieve from the sun. I tried calling one of the owners to talk about this, left a message with no response. Overall we really did have a great time there. ##### Ashley S.

May 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice beachfront property We loved the proximity to the ocean and having our own walkway to the beach along with the outdoor shower! The pool, hot tub & living areas were also nice. We did have a few maintenance and housekeeping issues. The air conditioning never worked on the first floor on one side of the home. The technician told us the issue but never came back to fix it. Luckily, the weather cooperated and we didn't really need it. Other than the two master suites, the bedrooms are very small. Both refrigerator doors didn't seal well and we had to push boxes against one of them to make sure the door stayed closed. Two of the beds were not freshly made. One had dirty sheets and sand and the other had a musty blanket on it. They came out to bring fresh sheets. Other than these few things we had a nice trip. ##### Maria K.

The house is nice right on The issues we experienced starting with the roaches. Upon arrival there was a dead roach behind the trash can on the wet side of the house. When I went to the east side to check out the bedrooms I killed another roach on the steps. We went out and came back to a roach on the kitchen counter. At this point we did not have any food. Of course when it rained, the huge water bugs came out. We had to wash some of the comforters as they were dirty and looked much better when they came out of the dryer. The beds sleep wonderfully. The sheets in bedroom on the first floor on the east side had a small spot of blood on it, and also on the white shower curtain. We washed the sheets, but did not wash the shower curtain. The furniture could really use cleaning as it is visibly dirty. I left the blue kitchen mitts out in both house as they are really dirty with some kind of red sauce on them. We did not cook anything with red sauce. I actually purchased clothes and cooking utensils to use. The cooking utensils are melted and look bad. The coffee pot was not cleaned, the filter was left from the previous tenants. It was full of molded grounds. Some of the towels are wash clothes are so dingy they look dirty. We went out and purchase wash clothes and towels to use. We did wash some of your wash clothes and towels and left them on the coffee table on the west side. There was no dishwasher detergent, nor enough tissue. ##### Adrienne C. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne H.
