Awesome week at the beach

The house was great. Enough beds for all 14 of us. The kids loved the bunk beds. We loved the covered deck and ate outside every night. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved having our own pool. Very close walk to beach (3-5 min)Host was easily accessible and answered emails on a timely basis. Close to shopping and in quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.

Emerald Isle House

This property was amazing. The best “stocked kitchen” I’ve ever seen in a rental! Was able to actually meet Valerie, the host, and there aren’t enough wonderful things to say about her! She was so helpful months before our trip, communicating details that made our stay perfect. When we met Valerie it was clear that our comfort was priority to her. The location was perfect with beach a few minutes walk away. The neighbors were friendly and neighborhood felt safe. 10 star rating for Valerie and this wonderful property! Can’t wait to plan another stay!

Wonderful Stay

We had a great time at this beautiful home in early June. Very clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need. The pool was a big hit as were the nightly volleyball games on the sand court. Just a short walk to the beach with ocean views. The owner, Valerie, is very attentive and check in /out was easy. Thank you Valerie for a great stay. We hope to see you again next year.

Best Property Management!!

We booked this for a last minute getaway when a cancelation opened the house up. Valerie was great to deal with. Much better than the rental agencies we have gone through for 20+ years. The property was great with a seprate kitchen/living area so the kids had their own space. The beach access was basically right across the street. We had a great time!

Absolutely Awesome

Valerie made sure that our stay was perfect. She had the best communication of any host we’ve ever had. We had one issue with the Roku & she took time out of her day to swing by and fix it. We would certainly use her again if we make it back. The place is perfectly placed with everything within a few minutes drive. Gaffers have us the best food ever! We had a great time.

This place is amazing. All you need to know. Valerie, the manager, is just a pleasure! Anything you need she is incredibly responsive. The house is steps away from the beach. We sat and drank chai while listening to the waves and watching the ocean. The neighbors was super friendly. We got some great beach runs in. The kids love it every time. Thank you 🙏

Wonderful home and Val is the best!

I rented this home to celebrate my birthday and it was nothing short of amazing. Val, the homeowner, was such a pleasure. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She is seriously the most hospitable person. This house is so spacious and very accommodating to larger groups or families. The middle floor deck was perfect for hanging out on and the pool was amazing. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great rental in EI. It is a great house and Val made it an even more pleasurable and stress free weekend for my friends and I.

Perfect Getaway!

This house was perfect for our needs. It was large enough for our group, beautifully decorated and a perfect location. Valerie is the absolute best property manager and was amazing to work with! We had to communicate several times, due to COVID-19 and possible issues, and she was absolutely wonderful. The amenities are great, house is clean and accommodates a large group. The weather didn't exactly cooperate, but we enjoyed porch time together (covered porches) and relaxed. Would most definitely recommend and will defnitely be renting again. Thank you!!

LOTS of beds

As a family of 15, After Dune Delight gave us plenty of sleeping options. We enjoyed the volleyball court, hosting games almost every evening! The entertaining space was a good size to accommodate my extended family for the evenings. This property is pretty worn & the kitchen cabinets are FULL of equipment, so there's no where to put away groceries when you arrive. Also, the enclosed outdoor shower isn't able to be used, though there is an open shower for rinsing. There were shrimp swimming in the pool when we arrived & we hope we were able to remove them all.

Annual Family beach vacation

We take our family each year to a beach in NC and Emerald Isle did not disappoint. Valerie was excellent to deal with as we made plans through this COVID situation. She responded quickly before we arrived and even was able to let us in early on Saturday so the kids had a full afternoon in the pool! The house was clean and well cared for and suited our 16 family members well. We will be back for sure. The house sits one row from beach and you can feel the Ocean breezes and see the water from the decks on the back of the home. The extra benefit of volleyball was huge for the kids along with the pool. Valerie responds quickly to any needs that arise and was a joy to work with making our vacation one full of memories. The walk to the beach is short and quick and the beach is beautiful. Loved every minute of our week in Emerald Isle.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Jonas

Host profile image
Emerald Isle is our favorite Beach Town. It's both small enough and big enough (population). It's remote but not too remote; it has all conveniences of a bigger beach town but offers a different atmosphere. The people are fabulous and the small businesses (not chains) are great!

We love all the beach activities here, the historic areas (Swansboro & Beaufort), the Croatan National Forest, & the big cities are just a few hours away! :)

We are very excited to share our beach home with you. Owning this and sharing it has taken decades of effort to realize. We live in a great country where we have the opportunity to work hard, save and make investments back in ourselves and others. These opportunities are nothing that we should take for granted. We thank our military for protecting the freedoms we have and that we can freely enjoy our great country!

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this property because of several reasons. It's located off Coast Guard Road, therefore, there is less traffic. The size of the property has allowed us to put in both a Pool and Volleyball court. We liked that it was 2nd row where we can see the Ocean but have privacy that Oceanfront homes do not afford renters in the peak season. The inside of the home is fabulous. It has 3 levels each with a living area, 2 levels have a full kitchen, there are 4 full bathrooms and 2 decks with a patio. This set up allows for people to gather and still have personal space. We felt it was an amazing house that could be shared with other people to make wonderful lifetime memories.

What makes this property unique

* 2 individual kitchen areas with one on ground floor
* Location off Coast Guard Rd
* Near the Emerald Isle Woods Park (off Coast Gaurd)
* Near the Ocean Oaks Playground (off Coast Gaurd)
* 2 decks, 1 patio
* 3 Living Areas
* 4 Full Bathrooms
* 2 Outside Showers (one enclosed, one not enclosed)
* Pool & Volleyball Court
