About this property

Ocean view family cottage, just steps from the sea and close to everything.

Warm cozy 3 bedroom beach house only 130 yards to the beach. Great beach house with peekaboo views of the ocean from the house, deck or even the dinning room table. Great Emerald Isle location. Just minutes from restaurants, grocery and stores. Let us invite you to enjoy walks on the beach or just sitting in a beach chair enjoying all the Atlantic has to offer. Enjoy the bike path that sits next to the house or the secluded backyard surrounded by live oaks.
Take off down the island using the beach bikes, and running stroller or make a day of it at the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas provided. This house is pet and kid friendly so we provide pack and play, running stroller, dog bowls and poop bags. We try to make it easy.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Me and my family have been here two years in a row and plan on coming back for a third next year. We love this place and can’t say enough good things about it. In terms of a review, the most important things to know are that the owners are amazing hosts and they open their home to you almost completely. It’s pet friendly, all you need to do is just bring your family and your suitcases as they allow use of their beach chairs, toys, bikes, wagon, etc. First year we came here we over packed due to this and this year we (tried) to not come with too much as it’s not needed. Great place, thanks John and family 3

We enjoyed our stay at the Holla Daze Beach Cottage. The house is great. Totally clean and everything works with no short cuts. And the owners are extremely both friendly and responsive. We could not have had a better experience. Emerald Isle is a wonderful Christmas getaway. Close to a wonderful beach and nice and quiet here off season. This can 100% be recommended.

This property is well maintained and very attractive inside and out. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen has a wonderful array of cooking accessories, which is important to us, because we like to cook even when on vacation. The hosts have thoughtfully labeled drawers and cupboards in the kitchen, so you don't have to hunt all over for basics, like strainers or measuring cups. The location is good, too. You are only about 1 block from the beach (an easy walk), and the hosts provide essentials, including beach chairs and umbrellas. The property is also close to restaurants, shopping and points of interest, such as Pine Knolls aquarium and Ft. Macon.Best of all, I found the host to be very gracious, responsive and communicative. He made helpful suggestions about where to eat and what to see in the area. He answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. He has detailed, helpful instructions about house rules, WiFi use, etc. This host and this property are a gem!
