Nice Place but Bad Management

Nice property, but close to the highway so you hear cars from the front bedrooms at night. The electricity went out on us twice. The first time for 12 hours and the second time 5+ hours. When we asked for some type of accommodation for this, we never got an answer. The next-door neighbors got a free night for the inconvenience. Probably will stay at a different place next time due to the lack of communication.

Nephew’s Graduation/Family Vacation

My sister and I booked Emerald Isle as well as Jordan’s Sandcastle next door for a family vacation as well as to celebrate my nephew’s high school graduation trip. We enjoyed having a more private beach than in prior years; providing a relaxing and unplugged (mostly) environment. This has been one of the best family experiences we’ve had in a long time! All ages enjoyed themselves and can’t wait to return next year.
