Thank you for being such great guests! You are welcome back any time!
Great location! Short drive to Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Emerald Isle. Kitchen was well stocked, appreciated the coffee supply. Short walk to the beach made easy with beach cart and beach chairs.
We had a great stay in Emerald Isle at this house. It was super clean and the host was very easy to work with and made sure we were happy. The beach was practically private where the house was located. It was amazing! Highly recommend!
We found this to be a great property for our family of 5. Very clean, organized, and located in a great neighborhood with very close access to the beach. Preston, the owner, is very responsive for any questions we had.
Our stay at the Hoffman Beach house was probably my best experience using a vacation rental app. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need to just relax and enjoy your time at the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped with all that you would need and then some. There were bikes that my husband and son enjoyed riding. Beach gear like chairs, cooler, cart, and even a beach umbrella! The owners were so accommodating during our entire stay we would absolutely recommend staying here and would definitely stay again!!! Thank you ever so kindly for sharing your home with our family!!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you and hope you will come visit again in the future!
Perfect! The location is central to the island…across the street from putt putt and go carts AND very close to the Capt’s Kitchen Food Truck!! Short, easy walk to a very quiet area of the beach. The house is beautifully furnished, comfy beds and well equipped! It has an easy layout with everything on the same level. We had 5 adults and plenty of room! There were 5beach chairs and a couple of bikes - all in great condition. The refrigerator in the garage was perfect for keeping bottled water to grab on our way out to the beach. Plus - Preston was amazing with his communication and responsiveness. Def would stay here again. 😊

We loved hosting you and your family! Thank you for being such great guests. We are glad you had a wonderful vacation and would love for you to come back!
Clean, private location with easy private beach access
We can't say enough positive comments about our stay. Our host was incredibly helpful from beginning to end and even made suggestions as to places to visit during our stay. The home is very clean with new floors, which was very important to us and was just what we needed for our 4-person family. The beach access was incredibly close and it was like having a private beach. After a long drive to the island, the ample parking and private yard were just what we needed. The house has an outside shower and hose as well which worked out well after our short walk back from the beach. One of our favorite features of the house was the wrap-around porch where we enjoyed our morning coffee every day. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and there were even towels, linens and toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We would definitely come back!!

Thank you so much for being such great guests! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you and appreciate taking such good care of the house. We really appreciate your lovely review as we try our best to make it the best experience possible for our guests! You are welcome back any time!
Only a short walk to the beach, and the owner even includes beach chairs, a cooler and even a small beach wagon to help haul the gear. We've stayed at many different condos and houses over the years, and this one by far is the best appointed. Our kitchen crew didn't want for any appliance, pot, bowl or utensil! 2 different style coffee pots satisfied everyone. We've learned to bring a knife sharpener on these types of rentals, but didn't need it here as the owners have invested in higher quality products at every turn. The second fridge at ground level was convenient, as was the outdoor shower ( hot and cold). Our 3 couples had enough room to both gather, and separate as either needed or wanted. We'll be back!
