Dunecliff East was the perfect vacation home for our family of 11 (6 adults and 5 children). The house was well maintained, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. The spacious layout, updated kitchen, and thoughtful amenities made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners were great to work with—friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to keeping the home in top condition. We had a fantastic week and won’t hesitate to stay again. Highly recommended!
Returned to this very well-equipped property and had a great week! Weather was perfect and the location is the best! The owners are very accessible and thoughtful!
We've been staying oceanfront for almost 30 years, and this is the best house and location we've ever had! The decor was lovely coastal, the views were beautiful, and the house was spotless! We hope to keep coming back!
Dunecliff East never fails to impress! The house is well equipped and the owners take great care of it. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning next year!
This is the second year that we've stayed at Dunecliff and we would continue to stay there year after year except our family is getting too large for the unit. The owners are terrific folks, very responsive and their handyman (extraordinaire), Robert, is great. He responded within 30 minutes of our call, fixed the issue and was on his way -- one of the most friendly people we've met in all our years of vacationing at Emerald Isle. The gifts and starter packs left by our hosts and cleaning crew were special and certainly not expected. To say the least, the kitchen is well stocked not only with dishes, cooking pots and pans, appliances, etc. but also with spices and condiments. Our favorite location on the island is the Point. Dunecliff is not there, but another great location -- close to shopping, groceries, and restaurants. Plenty of space on the beach for our three shibumi shades and a few umbrellas. One of the best additions this year were the new shibumi beach chairs! We cannot say enough good things about this unit and the hosts. We're just sorry that we've outgrown the place.
This was the second summer that we stayed on this property and hoping to do so again next summer. The hosts are just wonderful and the property is just the best.
We had a wonderful time at Scott & Christy's home - it had everything we needed and the home was in great shape. The views were stunning and the location was super close to everything. It was also nice that they had a lot of kitchen utensils, comfy beds & TVs in every room!
Best beach house we’ve ever rented! Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. We appreciated the extra touches, like being welcomed by wine, chocolate, and toilet paper. We spent lots of time on the deck watching the ocean. Location was great. The house had everything we needed - we’ll be back!
The house is amazing, situated right on the beach with excellent views! Owners were easy to reach and very helpful. Bonus there is an awning on the back deck which is perfect for those of us who can’t take a full day in the sun!
We have been coming to EI for 12 years and have always rented from a large real estate company. This experience was much more personal, the accommodations were well appointed, communication with the owners was easy and replies were prompt. We loved the location and really couldn’t criticize anything about the house! We would love to return next year!
House was great!! Plenty of bedroom and bathroom space. Amazing location to just walk on and off beach. Gorgeous views.
Property very comfortable, kitchen has new appliances. All around great stay for large family reunion. Easy access to shopping and restaurants.
We had another amazing stay at Dunecliff East. The house was clean and well-equipped and gets better with every visit. The owners really think of everything! We enjoyed our visit to Emerald Isle and can't wait to come back next year!
We had another amazing stay at Dunecliff East. The owners do an amazing job of updating the house each year with new design features and plenty of functional updates, too! They really think of everything. They're responsive to our questions and suggestions and really make us feel at home. We enjoyed our relaxing stay and can't wait to return!
We had an amazing time! We loved all the updates the owners made in the offseason. They take such good care of the property and it really shows. Can't wait to return in August!
We had another amazing vacation at Dunecliff East. The owners take such good care of the property, there are updates made each year! It feels like home every time we rent here. Looking forward to coming back next year!
This home is located in a wonderful neighborhood. It is close by to most everything you need. Stunning beachfront right outside of your door! The home is beautifully decorated & very well stocked. We had a restful vacation and would love to return in the future.
We have stayed in many homes in EI. This was among the best. It is in a great location , comfortably furnished, and with all the amenities you could ask for. Communication with the owner was great.
The property, location and owners were amazing. It was by far the best stocked rental kitchen I have ever experienced. The house is extremely comfortable and decorated so beautifully. There were so many extras that made the place perfect.
I have only good things to say about our family beach trip!
Dunecliff East was the perfect vacation house and just steps from the ocean! There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 11. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a large group and the huge table was a great spot to play games at night. Christy was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make our special family time just perfect!
This property was amazing!!! The house was perfect for our family and the views were incredible. The house was well equipped with everything we needed… stocked kitchen, beach chairs, boogie boards etc. Christy communicated throughout the process to make sure our stay was great. Will definitely return!!!!
Our stay could not have been better! What a beautiful home in a perfect location. It is clear that this is a place that the owners genuinely care about. All the little touches - the welcome bag, the fully stocked kitchen, the beach chairs and toys, and the prompt response to our questions made this an exceptional vacation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with our family!
Well appointed condo. Clean! Location!! Fabulous communication with owner.
Great week. Thank you!
