The house served my family well - nice common upstairs with kitchen and living room open to each other so we could all gather, cook, and enjoy meals. The hot tub was enjoyable with the grand kids. Back porch was comfortable - even in early January there were days temperature wise that allowed us to enjoy the space.
Our family had a great vacation here! The house is clean and beautifully decorated. The screened in porch is such a great spot to enjoy a conversation or morning coffee! The host was extremely communicative and helped us get everything we needed to make our stay easy and fun!
This was probably our most favorite rental at the beach. The host communication was superb and everything was as described. They thought of all the little things like dog bowls and table fans. I especially loved that they provided linens, towels, beach towels and beach chairs! We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Everything about the stay was excellent. Great accommodations, amenities and location. And even our daughter’s dog was welcomed with a food and water bowl. Great equipped kitchen for cooking! Loved the screened in porch and hot tub.
Stacys place was so great- probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed in and such a happy house. I loved the location with the Bay views- very peaceful and then just a short walk to the beach! She has thought of everything- linens and beds are to die for as well as the decor! Would stay here again and again!
We were in town over the holidays for a family event and found Stacey's retreat a perfect place to unwind. The beds were comfortable, hot water plentiful, place was very clean and perfect location. Even our four legged friend was able to relax. Would recommend for all families.
We enjoyed a weekend away with family for a wedding in Swansboro. The house is perfect I host families with kids and the house is decorated beautifully. We enjoyed morning coffee around the table in the kitchen and watching March Madness in the living room. The beds were soft and the water pressure in the showers were perfect. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and bunk beds.
Location is great! Short walk to the beach. Clean and beautifully decorated property. Hot tub was a nice addition! Host was accessible and quickly responded throughout our stay.

Thank you, Christy for the wonderful review. We would absolutely love to have you back in the future :-) And we are so glad you enjoyed your time at the ocean oyster!!!
We enjoyed our first stay here so much, we came back. The house and decorating are beautiful. It's well maintained, and it's stocked with all the little things you could need to enjoy your stay. Starting the day with a coffee on the deck overlooking the sound is great, and in the evenings the whole family enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The short walk to the beach is easy. the host is responsive, and made several great dining recommendations.
Clean, cozy & spacious! Room for everyone to have their own space to relax. Comfortable beds & furniture. My 2 dogs had to get used to all the steps. Fenced backyard made it easy to let them outside safely.
The property was just as advertised. We appreciated that this beautifully decorated, spacious home was so well-appointed. Our host was very helpful and responsive, and our family enjoyed our stay.
My family loved this beach house. Short walk from the house to the beach. Very clean! Very spacious. Loved that the kitchen had everything we needed for nights we decided to stay in and cook. We would definitely choose to stay again!!
Great house and communication. All rooms were very well equipped and the view of the waterway was wonderful at sunset. More than enough room for parking and dog. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Ashley . We so appreciate the wonderful review and would absolutely love to have you back in the future! So glad you enjoyed our home.:)
The Oceans Oyster was a perfect stay! We had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Beds were very comfortable and clean. They even supplied shampoo, conditioner and body wash and a towel and washcloth for each guest along with plenty of beach towels, beach chairs and beach wagon. Short and easy walk to the beach. Host was very easy to communicate with and quick with responses. Highly recommend!!
We were a group of 4 adults (2 couples) staying in Emerald Isle for a few nights and we loved the space! The decor is very beachy and gives the southern coastal vibe. The living space on the main level was so comfortable and we loved having access to a hot tub to relax at night. We also enjoyed the outdoor screened in porch. Quick 5 min walk to the beach and easy access to great restaurants and nearby beach towns. Host was very communicative and helpful. High recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! It was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials for a great beach vacation. The owners were exceptionally helpful and quickly responded to any questions. The view of summer sunset over the water from the top floor was stunning. We appreciated the beach cart and chairs that were available for use, and the ease of accessing the house through the garage. The decor was tasteful, functional, and uncluttered. The bunk room on the bottom floor was great for the kids to have their own space. All of the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for guest’s items in the bedrooms and in the kitchen area. We would love to stay at this property again and hopefully for a longer duration next time! :)
We loved our stay at the Ocean's Oyster! Pictures do not capture how beautiful this home is. The home is 3 levels and has two decks. There are views of the sound side and the inside of the house is decorated so beautifully. There is great light, wonderful touches everywhere and the bedrooms and living space are calming and are so comfortable. There is everything too you need for the stay and also to go to the beach - the house is stocked with towels, chairs, umbrellas and even a cart to bring all and the walk was an easy 5 minutes. There is a fenced in backyard and our dog loved it and saw lots of bunnies too :)
The house is on the main road so is accessible to the bike trail but also is set far enough back to have privacy and quiet. This is a great stay and location on Emerald Isle we would love to stay here again. Stacy was a wonderful host and very responsive and so welcoming too!
Stacy was a very communicative host. The house is in a great location for walking to the beach, the house is super well appointed for beach going and cooking. The outdoor spaces are great, the furniture is nice, etc. I could go on and on, but there’s a big BUT…
There was one major issue with our stay, and that was the AC. Upon arrival on Thursday, the house was pretty warm on the main level (thermostat read 74), but brutally hot upstairs (where 2 bedrooms are, likely in the mid 80’s). There is only one thermostat, on the main level, in the main bedroom. We cranked the AC down to 67 to try to cool it down in time for bed, but it didn’t work and the upstairs couples suffered. We kept the house at 67 all day Friday while at the beach, with blinds closed, and it was finally cool Friday night! Woohoo! Then on Saturday, we kept it there again. But when we got back from the beach on Saturday, the house was very warm again… upon checking, the AC unit had iced over. Stacy immediately dispatched someone with portable AC units, and they were installed in less than 2 hours, which was very helpful. However, the house was not cooled down enough to sleep until almost 1 am. The AC guy came to inspect the unit as well, and found the 2 air intakes had issues. 1 filter was filthy, like it hadn’t been changed in years. And the other didn’t even have an air filter. The AC guy thinks the clogged filter contributed to the icing over of the AC unit.
We would stay again if the AC was fixed.

Trevor thanks so much for the review with all the wonderful compliments and the info on the home which is all true except unfortunately the info about the AC which is
not true and it’s unfortunate that you had to embellish about the AC issue which was really only caused by your group. We have not had any AC issues and we actually were told by you Trevor that you froze the unit meaning you did put it extremely low lower then you are stating and the issue was caused by doing so. We actually did have an Hvac Company come out with an hour of you telling us and they only charged us a service call because there was nothing wrong with the unit and it was due to your user error. There was nothing ever said about the filters except that the one needed to be put back in. And that they were dirty, but not to the extent that you’re saying, and they had been changed two weeks prior. The one was taken out to change and was forgotten to be put in, which is a mistake on our part and our team prior to your arrival. We definitely felt awful about the situation and rectified immediately as it does state in your review so Thank you for that. And we actually extended the check out for you because you were up enjoying your time late, but blamed it on not having cool air when as soon as the portable units went in and by that time the air-conditioning was already back on in the house, it cooled down in minutes as my husband was the one who came. Moving forward, we will not be accepting anyone on a holiday due to the fact that you were continually begging to get in early when you booked the house knowing that you had a check-in at 4 o’clock. We accommodated you for an early check-in even on a holiday , and we went over and above. And we would suggest that you don’t put air conditioning units below 67° as they will freeze and obviously you have learned that. But please do not try to tell people that our air conditioning does not work when it actually does work fine.
