This house was well provisioned for a fun beach stay; it was comfortable and unfussy. Everything was clean. We appreciated having chairs and beach toys available for the kids, plus a well-stocked kitchen.
Great beach access, wonderful layout for the whole family! We appreciate being able to bring our pups. I would bring extra paper towels and toilet paper, not well stocked on that. Other than that, a perfect vacation!
We spent a weekend at Emerald Isle and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Amy's place! She was communicative, provided great recommendations, and was accommodating. It was a great place for a family with toddlers a the aquarium is close by, oceanfront, many rooms, and close to restaurants, shops, etc. We hope to come back soon!
We came to the beach for a weekend to celebrate my spouse’s 50th birthday and had a wonderful time! You cannot beat the location of the house - literally steps from the ocean - and the duplex was super spacious and well appointed! We got in later than expected due to work, and Amy was so kind to let us check out a little later. We’ll be back again!
The home was beautiful, the view and access to the beach was amazing. Communicating with Amy was so easy and quick. Plenty of little amenities that make the stay convenient without having to go back out to stock up. Amy passed local information that definitely made a difference in our time there.
This home was very clean and had all the necessities. The owner was very responsive and gave a list of restaurants and things to do in the area. We had an excellent time and would stay here again.
The kitchen had everything we need! Very well stocked. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, etc. Amy (owner) is very responsive to any needs (it is NOT likely that you will need anything). Comfortable bedroom and adequate seating in living area. We'll be renting from her again!
Great place for our family vacation. We loved the view and easy access to the beach. We especially appreciated the grill area and closet full of beach chairs and toys.
A beach Christmas for the whole family!Two grand parents, two children with spouses, and four grandchildren.Lovely town with all amenities including two grocery stores and a local seafood shop.Would do it again.
Everything was absolutely perfect! Beautiful, on the beach and the owner responded in seconds on some questions. Plenty of room for our group of 6 and still had bedrooms leftover! I strongly recommend this home for your vacation!
Very comfortable beds, stunning views.
Wonderful stay and would certainly do again.
Right on the beach ❤️
One minor concern - one second floor bedspread had a stain on it.
The whole process was great. Great communication with the property owner. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. Id recommend this property yo anyone i know!
Great gathering place for family birthday celebration and mini-reunion.
This property fit our needs perfectly. We had 8 stay with us, from age 18-83 (three generations). The rest of our family met us at a restaurant for a celebratory luncheon to honor five family birthdays in March.
We would love to stay here again.
Great place to stay and not too far from stores and activities. Right on the beach, beautiful view
All my questions were answered very quickly. Amy was very helpful and friendly. Everyone that stayed loved the house and location.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this location, seeing the aquamarine waters crash on the white sandy beaches on a beautiful day. The home is spacious enough to allow family and friends to spread out while offering enough space for everyone to gather together.
