There is a golf cart provided at no charge to help take all the chairs and "stuff" to the beach (additional $500 refundable security deposit, but no fee for usage). 1 or 2 minute drive to the beach on the golf cart, or a 5 minute walk from the house. The golf cart really makes getting beach stuff and guests to the ocean a breeze! The house is "5th" row, which means it is about 8 houses from the boardwalk and sand.

                        Our stay in this home was one of the best vacations we have ever had. We absolutely loved the neighborhood and quick drive to really everywhere you need to go. I cannot say enough about the ease of the floor plan and the beautiful decor. My 5 yr old and his "Nanoo" loved watching movies down in the big game room. There is a bathroom in the gameroom which makes changes for the hot tub or pool easy for everyone. I think the big open floor plan in the living room and kitchen makes cooking and eating together alot of fun. Evening golf cart rides (even in the rain) were fun and we saw lots of deer. My 3 yr old would just scream with delight when we took the "secret cart path" coming in from a golf cart ride !! Such fun memories. The warm sun on a chilly morning from the front porch with your cup of coffee was perfect. The privacy in the back yard around the pool is unbelievable. Its just so quaint and peaceful. One day while having lunch by the pool there were 3 deer right across the fence and me being there didnt scare them away. I was amazed. This house made our vacation. My husband had just finished 4 years of University and we finally got to go on a vacation that we hadnt been able to take in so long bc of school. It was such a treat. Theres plenty of room and plenty of places to get away if you wanted a minute to yourself. This house also had everything you would need. It has a well stocked kitchen with everything you can think of. Last but certainly not least was the master bedroom. It seems so far away from everyone else and is so beautiful. I absolutely loved it ! This is a great vacation home and Emerald Isle is now our favorite beach. It was our first time visiting and we just loved it.

                        Had a wonderful week in Emerald Isle. House was perfect for 3 families, each with one child. Kids ranged in age from 2-5. House was clean and ready to use at promised time. Owner was very helpful and involved with rental process. Beach was great and water was warmer than we expected. Pool was a must with the kids. Golf cart was fun for the kids and a huge help with shuttling to the beach. House location was very centrally located to all shops and restaurants. We would love to return to Emerald Isle and would stay at this home again.

                        Plenty of room to spread out! Nice decor & furnishings. Enjoyed taking the golf cart to shuttle up to the beach - pretty surrounding neighborhood....even saw some deer! Location convenient to grocery store, restaurants & other island activities. Had a great week!

                        We thoroughly enjoyed your home. Our family had been coming to Emerald Isle on and off for the past 20 + years - your house was the nicest we've ever stayed in! Thank you for an enjoyable week!

                        This was our first trip to Emerald Isle, although we came with 2 other families that are the bes of friends & have been here before (7 adults & 7 children). Starry Nights and Emerald Isle has made this week a vacation to remember and a place that we would love to come back to. The kids were always on the go and there was always something to do that was enjoyable for them as well as the adults (brings the kid out of you). There is nothing like a week of good food, good drinks, great entertainment, and friends that you can call family. Thanks for allowing us these memories!!

                        We came back to Starry Nights this year and brought our family because we enjoyed it so much last summer. We traveled from PA, MD, and FL. Our visit was very enjoyable and relaxing. With 10 adults and 5 children under the age of 8, it made our week a bit challenging.

                        We got to spend a whole week in a love two million dollar house! We were a group of 15 relatives in three generations. This is our second visit -- maybe our last, but we enjoyed every minute. We are pampered and rested and ready for another year.

                        This was our family's first trip to Emerald Isle and all 8 of us enjoyed our stay here in this beautiful home. We had 7 days of sunny weather relaxing at the beach, by the pool & hot tub. Only problem we had was a scare one evening at 11pm when the alarm went off outside at the septic. Thank you for sharing your home.

                        Your beautiful home was a perfect fit for our family (8 adults & 3 children under age 5). Some of our favorite things were the pool, the hot tub, & the spacious kitchen. The kids especially enjoyed seeing the deer & the geese, while riding in the golf cart to & from the beach. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay in your lovely home!

                      About the owner: Owner of Starry Nights, a great beach retreat!

                      Why the Owner Chose Emerald Isle:
                      Love the beach and all the wildlife! Emerald Isle is the best beach in NC (in our opinion). Dolphin Ridge is the best section of the beach (again...you know who's opinion). Great balance of upscale, quiet, beach home, and party home. We look forward to coming whenever there isn't a guest at the home.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      only a couple blocks from the beach. Perfect place to unwind and get away from the hectic pace. There are no words we can share with you that describes the feeling of coming off the mainland, driving over the bridge to the island and seeing the water and island. All the daily troubles and issues fade away.
