Everything went smooth from day one of booking this trip and if we had any questions the host was quick to respond to any of our questions. The house was spotless the day we moved in, the use of the golf cart was helpful as we used the car to bring the beach stuff to the beach access ( which is only 2 min. away ) then used the golf cart to take everyone to the beach and parked the cart there. So I would definitely recommend Island Time for your next trip to Emerald Ise. ##### Russell M. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily A.

The house was perfect - and CLEAN! The beds were comfortable and we had more than enough room for our party of 8\. I promise the photos do not do this house justice. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We brought our own beach toys for the kids but they even had sand toys, boogie boards, pool noodles, etc. The golf cart was great for trips to the beach and the pool was fabulous when we returned! We will definitely stay here again! ##### Lisa W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H.

It was so nice to have Brian as our POC. He was great! He sent us ihelpful nformation and was really genuine about wanting us to enjoy our week. The owner was wonderful as well.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea R. Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Dream Vaca Everything was so easy! An amazing place with a lovely private pool! Maybe a quick 2 minute golf cart ride to the beach! Very clean and stocked with all the extras! Beautiful community and very family friendly! The property manager was super attentive and so sweet with my kiddos! Brian went above and beyond! This house is amazing and would stay here again in a heartbeat! 10/10 definitely recommend! ##### Andrea R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property was amazing. Very clean, wonderful layout with master bedroom on main floor. Upstairs bedroom and bath worked great for our son, his wife and two small grandsons. They loved the bunk beds. Pool was very enjoyable. Golf cart was great to travel to beach. First trip to Emerald Isle, NC, but would certainly visit again. Don't hestitate a minute to book this house in the exclusive Dolphin Ridge community. Very good communication and we even got in before check in time. Also loved the little touches in this house...artwork, beach decor, great sectional, outdoor shower, gas grill, even hand soap in the bathrooms. Top notch house! Very deserving of exceptional rating. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hunter House Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Reidsville-Hotels-Hunter-House-Bed-And-Breakfast.h16104080.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Maggie Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Maggie-Valley.h43195.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stella Experience on Lake Toxaway!!](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Toxaway-Hotels-The-Stella-Experience-On-Lake-Toxaway.h68780031.Hotel-Information) > > [Lazy Bear Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Boone-Hotels-Lazy-Bear-Lodge.h26732393.Hotel-Information) > > [Alarka Cabin Guest House With Great Mountain Sunsets And WiFi Included ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Alarka-Cabin-Guest-House-With-Great-Mountain-Sunsets-And-Wifi-Included.h31174332.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Statesville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hickory-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Statesville.h1541109.Hotel-Information) > > [Mtn Views/Sexy Master Suite/Hot Tub/Wi-Fiu7](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Incredible-Views.h36178202.Hotel-Information) > > [Starry Nights: Farm Stay, Zip Lines, Fishing & Petting Zoo?](https://www.expedia.ca/Sugar-Grove-Hotels-Starry-Nights-Petting-Zoo-HOT-Tub.h32500554.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Statesville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hickory-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Statesville.h28056.Hotel-Information) > > [Escape to the serene Diamond Creek Cabin](https://www.expedia.ca/Bryson-City-Hotels-Escape-To-The-Serene-Diamond-Creek-Cabin.h106068796.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
