We’ve now stayed at this property 2 times and we love it. Owner is very responsive and helpful to any questions before or during the stay. The bathroom remodel was such a pleasant surprise and turned out beautiful. Everything you need is right at the condo and with two teenage boys there are plenty of things for us to do to keep them entertained. We all highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the review, Nicole. It was so great to have you back and we are so happy that you liked the new bathroom remodel! Please come back to visit again soon!
Beautiful condo steps away from the ocean. Emerald Isle is a lovely beach city and the condo was in a great location close to the attractions we were looking for. We used some of the complimentary beach items...chairs, toys. They even had pickleball rackets/balls. Everything was so thoughtful for guests. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and utensils. This was the best experience I've had with Vrbo. My family all agreed we will return! I cannot say enough good things about the condo and Emerald Isle. Just book it!

Carrie was amazing! A great communicator, very professional and on point. Celebrating Christmas with our family and could not ask for better weather and beautiful sunsets. The house was totally stocked with anything you could have needed, it was like being in our own home. They thought of everything. We can’t wait to visit again.

Scott,
You and your family were a pleasure to host! Thank you for such a kind review and we hope to have you back to visit in the future!
A must stay! The condo became our home away from home for a few nights. It’s conveniently located by the beach with access to a community pool, charcoal grills and picnic tables, etc.The host was also very flexible when we asked to extend our stay by a day and we are looking forward to coming back.
We had a wonderful stay at Reel Fansea! It is a beautifully furnished condo and was so thoughtfully appointed with every convenience.
We loved our stay there!
Carrie’s place was great, attractive, comfortable, quiet, bed was comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and functional. We enjoyed Pickleball and the pool as well as walks on the beach. After a recent stay at a place that wasn’t so nice this was like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Carrie!

Thanks so much for the kind review! We would love to have you back - you were a great guest!!
The condo was bright, clean, and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in; there weren't many restaurant options close by.We enjoyed sitting in the back deck and listening to the waves crash and the beach was just a quick walk across the parking lot. The only criticism we had were the tiny showers but would stay here again.
We came to Emerald Isle for a wedding during the off season and it was incredible! Beautifully renovated space fully stocked with anything you will need for your stay. Property has tons of amenities as well and is so close to the beach! My boyfriend was so impressed he wanted to see if we could extend our stay! We will definitely be booking again!

We enjoyed having you as a guest, Cheryl! Please come back to visit us!!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The condo was clean and well equipped and exactly as described in the listing. The location was central to restaurants and activities. The beach access is just across the parking lot of the condo, and there is a pool and tennis courts. There is a bike/walking path accessible from the property. We also liked that it was very quiet and relaxing , we never heard neighbors. Bonus is the sunset views The communication with the host was great and questions were answered quickly. Highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for the very kind review, Laura! We would love to have you and your family back to visit us in the future!
This is a lovely condo on the first floor (some steps in order to access). It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. This is not beach front but access to the beach is just a short walk through the condo community.
Communication with the homeowner was helpful and very responsive. Every question I had was answered quickly and fully, although I didn't have many quesions since the information provided by Carrie was clear and complete.
This was our first visit to Emerald Isle and we will definitely choose to stay at this condo when we visit again.
