We had a lovely stay at this property. Everything was absolutely immaculate, and the beds were very comfortable. The beach is just a short, easy walk away, which made it incredibly convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The pool was an added bonus and perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.The highlight for the teenagers in our group was getting to see the neighborhood deer up close it was such a special experience. The entire setting felt so relaxing and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

Had a great stay it was fairly quiet and the house was beautiful
Great house in a great location. The heated pool was amazing. Had a few questions pop up throughout our trip and Kelly always replied promptly. I would recommend this property to anyone and will definitely be staying again in the future.
My family and I had a wonderful 2 night stay. The house was beautiful and the location to the beach was a quick 2 minute walk- if that! The pool was also a big hit- very clean and warm. There are shops and restaurants nearby- even close enought to walk AND minigolf! We would definitely stay here again!..Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay!!
A lovely home in a great location. Short walking distance to both beach, store and Miniature golf and yet very quiet, peaceful neighborhood where we could relax in privacy in the pool or play family board games on screened porch. We had a great vacation with our children and grandchildren.
Our family had a very relaxing stay. We loved the house and spent alot of time on the screened porch playing games. The pool was beautiful as well, although the water was a bit too warm for us. All in all, we had a great time!
We absolutely loved staying here. The neighborhood is so peaceful and it’s just a quick walk to the beach. The house is very clean and has everything you’d want, and the heated saltwater pool was the highlight of our trip! We plan to return soon.
Had a great couple days at this property! Close walk to the beach, awesome heated pool, in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Close to dining and shops too! Kelly was an awesome host and was so responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed with great communication. We would definitely stay at this property again!
My family and I wonderful time at Emerald Isle for a quick getaway. Kelly, our host was extremely kind and helpful and she has made the process of checking in and out very simple. The house was great, very close to the beach and all the restaurants in town. The pool was a huge bonus and provided a lot of family fun!
Our family loved staying at this property. The location was perfect. Close to shops, restaurants, and most importantly the ocean. The neighborhood was quiet and the people were very friendly. My kids enjoyed time in the pool and ping pong. Overall would recommend to anyone, and we would love to return.
We spent the week of Thanksgiving at property. The property had everything we needed and was close to beach. The pool was very nice to have as the weather was warm. The owner Kelly was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend the property.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was an excellent place for our family! The pool is a huge highlight! House had all the amenities and then some! The little area the where the house is very nice and quiet, we would stay again. Kelly is an outstanding host!
We absolutely everything about this beach house. The home itself is wonderful. It’s nice to have a hole with wood floors and partial carpet at the beach. We are used to so many beach holes with hard, dirty tile and you won’t find that here!The decor is perfect, and left lasting memories of a higher end beach trip to think back on. Memories are heightened when the vibe and feel of the home are top-notch!Location to beach is perfect, a straight shot at the end of the street. Pool was amazing! Everything you could want in a beach house!
This house was great. It was a short walk both to the beach and to shops & restaurants. Very quiet location. The pool was the best! Relaxing when we wanted to be lazy, but had some pool games when we wanted to have fun. Kelly was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We will definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed with our children and grandchildren. We had an amazing time. The house had all that we needed and was comfortable. The host was also very accommodating and responsive to any questions! Would stay again! The heated pool was a great Plus!!!
We loved our stay! Such a convenient location to shops, restaurants and most importantly - the beach! The best part was how responsive our host, Kelly, was. She gave immediate responses any time we had questions and was incredibly accommodating. Great for families - a fairly large pool with lots of toys, great space for dining indoors or out, and comfortable bedrooms. Would absolutely recommend!
This property is absolutely beautiful and Kelly was so great and replied quickly when I was there as well!! The house was super comfy and just breathtaking! I will be booking again especially with my kids for another trip!!!

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property the moment I saw it! I have always loved Emerald Isle and dreamt of owning a house here, and this house has everything one could want in a beach house. The location is truly incredible, being set in a neighborhood that feels so private yet is only a few steps from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, shopping, & entertainment. Match that with the dreamy heated saltwater pool, and this property becomes a true Emerald Isle dream home! And, the best part is, I get to share my dream home with family, friends and guests! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
