We had an excellent stay! This VRBO had absolutely every we needed. The location was perfect! The view was amazing! It was super well stocked with supplies, beach accessories, and kitchenware. Our hostess, Nicole, was amazing. She responded and communicated with us super quickly. We even had trouble making the living room tv to work. She took care of the situation and the tv was replaced right away. We definitely plan to stay here again!

What a wonderful week at the beach! Emerald Isle is a treasure and staying at Shorebreak made everything perfect. Hosts Nicole and Mike were gracious with their time answering questions about the booking process. They have made this beach home, comfortable with just about everything you need for your beach adventure. An amazing week, thank you!

I hesitate to write a positive review for this place, because I'm worried everyone else will find out how amazing it is and I won't be able to book it again in the future!The has was spotless when we arrived, check in was super easy, and the instructions left for us were very easy to follow. The towels were very plush, which is rare to find at a rental. The kitchen boasted a full fridge with access to ice at water, as well as pretty much any appliance you can think of and a few you probably forgot about. The beach is a short walk away and you have access to all kinds of essentials for a full day in the sand. It is located more on the eastern end of the island, which means you might have to drive a little bit to get to downtown, but with the views and the price, it's a sacrifice you'll be willing to make!If you see this place available for rent don't hesitate book it! We will definitely be back!

Everything was great except for lousy WI-FI and sketchy cell service. We had everything we needed and then some. Should consider handicap grab bars in showers. Porch view was great. We saw the dolphins most mornings. Very enjoyable week.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 8, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay, especially the porch views and watching the dolphins most mornings—they’re one of our favorite parts of Shorebreak as well. We’re sorry the Wi-Fi impacted your experience. Providing every guest with a 5-star stay is always our goal. When you reached out on your first day, we were happy to troubleshoot with you, and we were glad to hear the issue appeared to be resolved. Because we didn’t hear of any further problems during your stay, we had every reason to believe everything was working properly. Had we known the issue persisted, we would have arranged for a technician to come out immediately. After reading your review, we scheduled a service visit and discovered the router had begun to fail. It has since been replaced, and the Wi-Fi is now performing as expected. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding grab bars in the showers. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the home for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with the seamless 5-star experience we strive to deliver.

Shore break was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Our dogs loved their time on the beach and my husband and I loved the deck overlooking the ocean. The house was in close proximity to restaurants and shopping and I truly can’t recommend it enough!!

Shorebreak was a great place to stay! We enjoyed the stunning views just steps away from the beach. The house is well stocked, perfectly decorated, and very comfortable. It was a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the sunrise and sunset. We hope to return again.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very communicative and welcoming and the unit itself is in the perfect location and very well kept. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset and the easy access right out to the beach. Could not have asked for a better visit and hope to stay there again in the future!

The house is full of thoughtful details. Very comfortable beds, lots of high-pressure hot water in the shower. The furniture is all very comfortable. The kitchen so well appointed you could host Thanksgiving as is. The sink-side filtered water faucet is great, most beach homes suffer from funny tasting water—not here! We will stay here again for sure. Can't wait!

Great little beach house! Right on the ocean. Well appointed, comfy beds, nice showers. Biggest improvement would be a nicer grille. We brought the small propane bottles but it would not stay lit.

Wonderful stay at this lovely property. Amazing views, comfy beds, nicely appointed. You could hardly get closer to the beach! We pretty much had the beach to ourselves staying in early Dec and that was fine by us. And the Aquarium is a short drive up the road - check it out.

Better than we expected! Everything you may need is there for you! I usually bring bathmats, a sponge, kitchen towels, soap, detergent, etc. but I didn't need to, all of that was there. Beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, and a beach canopy was provided and really good quality! I also bring my own sheets to put on the beds, but everything felt so clean that I didn't need to do that! Access to the beach was incredible. We had no issues with noise from the neighbors which we were worried about, it must be insulated well! The weather wasn't the greatest while we were there, but we still enjoyed ourselves, especially being able to see the ocean from our room, living room, and deck. Winds were very strong and currents were "red" flag all week but we heard that was not normal. We really enjoyed making the short trip to Swansboro, there are restaurants and little shops that aren't the traditional beach stores. We also took the Ferry to Bear Island to look for Shark teeth one day, it was fun, but we didn't find any. The aquarium is less than 15 minutes away too. We plan to stay here again!!
