So sorry that you were not comfortable downstairs! Did you use the remote to adjust the thermostat? If we had known that you were having issues, we would have had our HVAC folks come to fix it. Thanks for alerting us so we can make sure our next guests are comfortable.

Great Beach House!

Perfect location, very clean and spacious with room for everybody. The downstairs quarters were great for my teen son and friend. We did a golf cart for the short drive to the beach as we had a lot of stuff to carry. Beautiful home with cooking utensils, books, games, a grill, festive lights on porch. Great family time!

This property was just as listed. Plenty of room, great location, everything you need right in the house. The screened in porch was my favorite place to spend time. Someone parked in the extra spot all week but the neighbors were all nice. The beach was close and nice and clean. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Sharp

Host profile image
Our family now lives in Goldsboro, NC. We lived in Virginia for over 30 years, but moved for work, and the added benefit of living only 1 1/2 hours from our beach house!

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed on Emerald Isle for over 25 years. My husband and I were married on the island in 1998. For years we dreamed of owning a beach house at Emerald Isle, and in 2012 we were able to make that dream become a reality!

What makes this property unique

We chose this cottage because it felt like a real beach house, not a house that just happened to be built at the beach. It is open and bright, with a great floor plan for hanging out. The house was built in the 1970's and was renovated by the previous owners. We have continued to update the cottage with new appliances, flooring, heat pump, the outside shower and dressing area, adding on the screened in porch, new windows and siding.

We were able to meet the original owners a few years ago, when they drove by to see the house. The elderly woman and her daughter were pleased to see that "their" house was being lovingly cared for and enjoyed.
