What more could you wish for in a vacation rental!
Starry Nights is located in the quite subdivision of Dolphin Ridge. With the seclusion the neighborhood offers, you can enjoy the breath-taking stars that are sprinkled across the night sky from your back deck. 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.

Map & Owner's Profile
Private Home in Exclusive Gated Dolphin Ridge Subdivision
Year Purchased: 2004
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.

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.

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!

We enjoyed your beautiful home. The weather was great all week. The amenities i.e. golf cart, pool, were fantastic. There were ten in our family (nine from Kentucky & one from Georgia); we will have great memories of our vacation here in Emerald Isle.
