Oceanfront was awesome. It was great for our grandchildren to have a pool and easy access to the beach.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re delighted your family enjoyed the oceanfront setting, pool, and easy beach access. We'd love to welcome you and your family back to Emerald Isle!
We had a great experience at this beachfront condo. Everything was as described the place was clean, nice pool, and right on the beach. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the beachfront location, pool, and easy beach access. It’s always great to know the home delivered exactly as expected and provided a relaxing coastal getaway. Sounds like the only downside was not staying longer — and honestly, we hear that a lot around here! We’d love to welcome you back to the Crystal Coast again soon.
Great location, lots of space. Love being on the beach with a pool. Grandkids enjoyed both. Issue with freezer but prompt response and no loss of food. Will stay again.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that you and your grandkids had an enjoyable stay and that the location and amenities were to your liking. The prompt response to the freezer issue is also much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
A week here was needed and it let us just relax and unwind. Check-in is easy, check out is easy. We'll make a few minor recommendations to the owner, but would/will definitely stay here again.
Much needed chance for myself and my sons to reconnect. We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed the house,the pool and the ability to spend time on the beach. the neighborhood was lovely audit was easy to get around.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay, and there’s nothing better than making memories with your sons at the beach. There’s something special about salt air, ocean waves, and quality time with the people you love most.
We hope this trip was just one of many more to come—and we'd be honored to host your family again whenever you're ready for your next Emerald Isle getaway.
After a long and busy winter, a Spring Break at SunLife East was just what we needed. The duplex/house was roomy and bright, supplied all the linens and towels we needed and the view of the beautiful ocean couldn’t be better! Dolphins were a fun source of “entertainment” for one and all. So very thankful we found this place while searching VRBO. The Emerald Isle Realty staff who handled this reservation and fielded questions were superb. Hope to return again!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had an enjoyable Spring Break stay at SunLife East. It's great to know that the duplex/house met your needs and that you were able to appreciate the beautiful ocean view and the dolphins. Thank you for your kind words about our Emerald Isle Realty team and their support. We also hope you will return again to our beautiful island very soon!
The inside of the duplex could’ve been a lot cleaner. The shower doors were not cleaned. The bottom of the shower wasn’t cleaned. Full of dust under the couch and chairs. The pillows that they decorate with were not clean. Two rooms upstairs had a large roach. Utensils in the kitchen need replacing. I was surprised spending the money as it wasn’t nicely kept as most B&B’s. The dishwasher has food packed inside the filter and the dishes don’t get totally clean. It needs a good filter cleaning. I’m only saying this because there’s a lot that needs to be really deep cleaned and taken care of. We had a nice vacation together!

It’s a condo duplex—don’t be fooled by the listing photos that make it look like a standalone house. Both we and the neighbors we shared a porch, pool, and hot tub with were surprised when we arrived.The location is fantastic, but we were disappointed with the property itself. For the price, we expected much more. The home was poorly stocked overall, and the kitchen was especially lacking in basic supplies and essentials. While the location was a major plus, the accommodations did not justify the cost. We would not consider it a good value for the price paid.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the home's fantastic location, though we're sorry it didn't meet your expectations.
We understand your surprise regarding the property's layout. The listing does note that this is a duplex and that the porch, pool, and hot tub are shared amenities, but we appreciate your comments and will review the listing to see if that can be communicated even more clearly.
We're also sorry to hear you found the kitchen insufficiently stocked for your needs. Guest feedback is valuable to us, and we'll share your comments with the homeowner as we continue evaluating the home's inventory and overall guest experience.
