If you were waiting for a sign to take a vacation... this is it! Why You’ll Love Emerald Isle: If you’re looking for the perfect beach vacation, our updated 2-bedroom condo in Pebble Beach, Emerald Isle is the place to be. Just a 3-minute walk from the beach and close to all the local favorites—restaurants, ice cream spots, shops, and fun activities—it’s the perfect spot to kick back and unwind.
Emerald Isle is a hidden gem, and once you visit, you’ll understand why it’s the only beach you’ll want to return to every year. We know because we spent a decade vacationing here before we decided to make it our home base. We’re so excited to share this laid-back slice of paradise with you, so you can experience the Carolina vibe and fall in love with it, just like we did.
There’s no commercialization here—just two hotels on the island, miles of bike-friendly paths, and crystal-blue waters that make it feel like your own private beach. Plus, everything you need is within walking distance: Publix is right across the street, there’s a movie theater, putt-putt, and lots of family activities. You’ll also find plenty of local restaurants, and if you’re into live music, there’s always a band playing somewhere.
The gated community offers two outdoor pools, a kiddie pool, and an indoor heated pool that’s open year-round. There’s also a fitness center and tennis courts to keep you active between beach days.
The space: This isn’t just a place to crash. We’ve intentionally designed it to feel like your home away from home, just like we do when we come down. The condo is stocked with all the essentials: linens, towels, beach chairs, a beach wagon, beach toys, and even a Shibumi beach mat for your beach days. We also keep the kitchen stocked with coffee and provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap. So all you need to do is throw some clothes in a bag!
You’ll also enjoy the beautifully landscaped courtyard, which is the view from the porch. Whether you’re hanging by one of the pools, hitting the fitness center, or playing tennis, the community is designed to make your stay easy and fun.
Inside, the condo offers plenty of space to relax. The first floor has a bedroom with a queen bed and bunk beds, along with a full bath. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are perfect for downtime, and the balcony overlooks the lovely courtyard.
Upstairs, you’ll find a loft-style bedroom with a queen bed and twin trundle, plus another full bath. The living room’s sleeper sofa provides extra room for larger groups.
Guest access: Once you enter this private, gated community, you'll have the entire condo to yourself, along with access to the gym and indoor pool (open year-round).
Other things to note: We provide linens, towels, a beach wagon, chairs, toys, and a Shibumi beach mat. We also keep the condo stocked with coffee, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Just let us know how many guests are coming, and we’ll make sure everything’s ready for you!

Everything was clean and ready for our quick stay. The area of beach next to this property is gorgeous. It’s a short walk and there’s a clubhouse with restrooms right at the beach. Thanks to the owners for easy communication and great suggestions. Check-in and check-out were seamless. We like to cook and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We would stay again for sure.
Hosts were wonderful and so generous with all the little things - coffee, Shampoo, extra blankets galore, stocked kitchen, pool and beach gear, etc. We loved having access to the pool and gym and the short walk to the private beach area (which has an open bathroom even in December)!
The property was amazing! Exceeded every expectation we could have had! The host was very attentive and gave us many options for dining out! We cannot wait to come back! 10/10!!!
We had two adult couples in town for a wedding over a weekend and it was the perfect place. Great location and nice to have the amenities of the complex.
We enjoyed our stay at pebble beach,
Although the weather want ideal we enjoyed having the indoor pool!
The apartment was clean and they had everything needed to make it feel like home.
Would definitely stay here again!
This was the absolute best place to stay! The condo was immaculately clean. The grounds were exceptionally landscaped. Every small detail was considered by the host- from maps and recommendations to condiments in the cupboards to laundry pods. Our host communicated clearly and reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed. I would give 6 stars if permitted!
We loved this place! Ashley was very responsive and answered us quickly. We really enjoyed the kitchen set up and the cleanliness of the condo. The pool access was very nice and we loved the quick beach access. The condo was in a great spot near a grocery store and several restaurants/shops which was very convenient. We’d definitely stay here again!
This condo is beautiful, very clean, and well supplied! The owners take great care to stock the rooms with everything necessary for a beach vacation. The location is perfect, you're walking distance to the beach, pool, and even some shops and restaurants. Communicating with the owner was easy and very pleasant. 10/10, would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for making it such a wonderful place to stay!
The condo was super clean, had all the essentials- including beach gear, a high chair and pack n play, and fully stocked kitchen.
The location is great, having the indoor pool right out back was helpful for the crummy weather days, the beach access was perfect and convenient. Communication with the host was outstanding, 10/10. Looking forward to our next stay!

We had a group of 5 women that were there for a wedding. This was the perfect place to stay. The condo was exactly as listed, the complex was beautiful and the beach was amazing. Some of us even talked about bringing our families back for a vacation. I highly recommend

(they will Instacart right to the unit) There is lots to do ON property. 3 pools (one is indoor and heated) a large Tennis court, work out room, amazing beach activities, and the best community of laid back beach lovers!
