We absolutely loved our stay at this beach house. This beach house is perfect for two friends. First thing we noticed was how clean the beach house was, and had a very pleasant smell. While my friend was enjoying inside showers i enjoyed the outdoor shower, and let me tell you it’s worth the hype. I love the hot water. Host Mary was really sweet. I only spoke to her through the phone. Even when I called her she was still sweet and patient. I think my favorite thing about the beach house was the beach cruiser bikes. We really enjoyed how close restaurants were (we could Bike or Walk). One thing my friend mentioned was that it would have been nice to have board games and cards but we forgot to bring them. Thanks for this incredible experience.

Great place to stay for the week, the parking/beach access was very convenient for us. We could also walk to ice cream and dinner from the house. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We woke up a few nights due to a loud mechanical noise that came through the floorboards right near the bed but other than that the place was great for us. We would stay here again.

Hi Demaris.. thanks for taking time to review your stay. Concerning the mechanical noise I can’t figure out what could cause that and I haven’t had anyone else ever say they heard a noise like that. We don’t have any appliances that run at night upstairs. Sorry you were awakened though and glad the rest of your stay was good. Mary

Great apartment with everything you need

This apartment is perfect for a quiet beach vacation. It’s right at the end of the main part of Emerald Isle, so it’s an easy walk or bike ride for pretty much anything you need. The apartment was clean and private, and having things like bikes and beach chairs available was a great bonus.

The 'Emerald Mermaid' was everything we expected and more. Its location is excellent, close to two major grocery stores, delicious restaurants and ice cream shops. The property is clean and beautifully furnished. You have your own gated beach access just a short two blocks away and the outdoor shower is marvelous for the return from a day at the beach. If we make another trip to the Crystal Coast, we'll definitely stay here!
