Perfect Beach Retreat

There are not enough words to express our delightful experiences at this amazing home away from home. The location in proximity to the beach as well of all of the amenities was beyond expectations. In addition, the view of the ocean from the balcony provided an aurora of serenity. We will definitely cannot wait to return.

We loved our stay here. Host Andrew was great helping us /supporting us when there was miscommunication with the check in office - they had new staff etc. all was resolved easily. The condo was pristine. Clean and perfect for us. Kitchen seemed well stocked but we didn’t even make coffee there. Bed was comfortable. Everything was in great shape. Building was quiet and well maintained. Of course it’s still “off season” so we appreciate the peace. Loved that it is a gated community. EI can get busy/loud so going through those gates is like leaving the noise behind. We absolutely loved the short walk to the beach. We definitely racked up some miles on the beach. Truly hoping to rebook again this year.

Peaceful retreat at the beach

The unit is exactly as described, and a great location in Emerald Isle--a few steps away from an uncrowded beach, and within walking distance to several restaurants and grocery stores. The weather wasn't ideal for beach weather during our stay, but the unit was a wonderful second-choice option, and worked out very nicely. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

Wonderful Stay!!

This was our first visit to Emerald Isle but definitely won't be our last. We had a little trouble getting in touch with rental office but after that everything was smooth sailing. Condo was perfect, just as advertised. Clean and updated! We really enjoyed our stay there and won't be the last time we're there to relax.

Beach Hive Review

Apartment was well kept with excellent view of the ocean. We ate dinner on balcony each night of our stay. King bed was very comfortable. We slept in every morning. The only issues that you may want to address are not enough silverware, need larger coffee/ tea mugs, larger cereal bowls and extra blankets. It was a wonderful week, perfect weather and ocean temperature. Thank you for your hospitality.

A visit to the Beehive

This is our second visit to this property this year and we enjoyed it very much. However, I would strongly recommend that the king bed be replaced as it is very uncomfortable and ruins your sleep each night. The accommodations are too nice to have it blemished by a very uncomfortable bed. Suggest a sleep number bed to replace the existing king bed.
