We’ve been coming to EI for the last 7 years and of the 4 homes we have stayed in (all ocean front) this is hands down the best home. Adina has thoughtfully curated an entire BINDER full of relevant and recent information on everything you could want or need. Additionally her pay it forward practice ensured we had almost everything we needed for our stay. I ran out to buy conditioner before I realized it was already there! Please enjoy that bottle of conditioner it now lives under the sink in the upstairs bathroom! Anyway, our kids kept saying how this beach house felt so different from the others in that it felt truly like a home. So many nice and thoughtful little touches to list but they really didn’t miss a thing here at Isle Escape! Thank you for yet another amazing vacation in Emerald Isle.

Easy to check in, clear communication, and it had everything we needed! The only suggestion I have would be to add one more detailed photo of the beach access. We had seniors in our party and the walkway didn’t have an easy path onto the beach. It may be difficult for those with limited mobility. Just a suggestion. Overall, a great time and we will be back! ##### Kristin S. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa M.

We loved the back verandah which was private but close enough to the beach so that we could hear the sounds of the waves. Access to the beach was perfect, down the garden path and onto the dunes. Felt like we had a private beach. The house was well appointed and maintained with everything we needed. It was very comfortable for the five of us. Correspondence with the owners was prompt and all our questions were answered before our arrival. We will definitely consider this property for another visit to Emerald Isle - thanks for a great stay! ##### Philippa M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon W. Oct 16, 2018 #### Beautiful beach front home for our family vacation! Our family's stay at Isle Escape was just wonderful. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The house is just the right size for our family of six and the children loved the games that they found available to play. Such an easy walk across the backyard and over the dune and down onto the beach ... which was not crowded at all!!! We loved eating out at the local restaurants that were so close by as well as preparing some of the meals in the well equipped kitchen. The owners were excellent with their replies to our questions prior to our arrival so we knew just what to expect as well as what was expected of us that we never had to call them after we arrived. They also went above and beyond what we expected when there was some property damage following Hurricane Florence to have everything repaired and ready for our visit just 3 weeks later....which was in the middle of Hurricane Michael!!! We are already looking forward to another trip to this location! ##### Sharon W. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin H. Apr 5, 2018 #### Amazing house! We LOVED this house! Everything was beautiful, quality and new. Furnishings and decor were serene and beautiful. So clean, so many personal touches. Games on every floor, ample seating and space in the living area for 5-6 adults to watch television. The owners left some courtesy items like toilet paper, paper towels, Saran wrap and other small items you may need when you arrive before the grocery store run. We replaced those items upon leaving for the next guests. All dinnerware,flatware, utensils and grilling utensils were nice and new. The porch was great And was overlooking a small yard for the kids to play while we weren't at the beach. Really nice grilling area downstairs with nice patio. Oceanfront Beach access was close and easy. Great location. I can't say enough good things about this house. We stay at very nice oceanfront homes a few times a year, and this is my favorite one! We will absolutely stay at this home again! ##### Benjamin H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jamila B., Raleigh, USA Apr 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Emerald Isle The owner is very detailed oriented and the home is comfortable, cozy and clean. However one detail the owner missed was not informing us that beach nourishment was going on during our stay. As a healthcare provider who had not gotten a break since the pandemic, i expected to enjoy the sounds of the waves, the beach and to rest. However there was a ship there digging sand from the ocean floor to repair the dunes so the noise of the humming from the ship overpowered the sounds of the ocean. If the ship was there intermittently, it would have been tolerable, but the ship persisted most of the time and even during the night which affected my ability to stay asleep. There was also a large pipe along the beach so we could not walk to the pier since the signs on the pipe stated to stay away from the area altogether. I asked if we could receive a discount for our stay due to the inconvenience or could they even offer a discount for a return visit when beach nourishment was not going on. However, this was declined. Had there been a disclaimer on the booking that beach nourishment was happening and that there would be a persistent humming vibration noise from the ship which droned out the ocean waves and continued during the night...etc as explained above, we would have gladly moved our dates to a later time. Since the owner was so detailed on other questions which were answered, i can only guess perhaps she didn't know this was happening. So my advise to anyone who wants to book an ocean front property is to please call the city to find out what projects are going on beforehand. Our time was also impacted by cold, rainy weather but this is something you can't control so we will want to come back when its warmer to see what the area has to offer. Otherwise the house is comfortable and clean. I just wished the owner could have honored a discount. I believe i am not the only guest out there that would have wanted to know beforehand that peristent repair was happening so an informed decision could be made to stay or move dates. We hope to come back when the project is over for a redo. ##### Jamila B.
