About this property

Surfari, beautiful home on the Crystal Coast

Make yourself at home sweet home at our beautiful house in the quiet Dolphin Ridge neighborhood of Emerald Isle. Our ocean-side three bedroom, two and a half bath home is just a three-minute walk to 25 miles of pristine beaches. Not up for the walk? Grab our golf cart and head to the private beach access. After a beautiful day at the beach, rinse off in our warm outdoor shower, and head to the front or back porch for a mojito. You can also cool off in our 9x13 private salt water plunge pool. Then grab the bikes and ride the new 11 mile bike path to dozens of restaurants, bars, for a hike just up the road in Emerald Woods, to the grocery store, ice cream shop and stores. Once you park on you first day here you wont have to crank that engine again. Everything you need is nearby. We rent our home Sunday to Sunday. Due to allergies, we are unable to host any animals.

Family Vacation on EI

Excellent vacation home for our family. The house was very clean & well equipped. We especially loved the reading nook, pool, outdoor shower & nice kitchen. The golf cart was a lifesaver especially with an infant. Alize was great to communicate with & made our stay very enjoyable. We would love to stay again sometime.

All the other glowing reviews are accurate. This place is really great inside and outside. Well equipped with beach toys, activities and a golf cart. We eat in a lot, and the kitchen is really well supplied. The neighborhood is really nice and convenient to the rest of the island. The hosts are extremely welcoming and responsive.

Pefect getaway

We loved staying here. The bikes were fun, the pool and outside deck were wonderful. The house was beautiful! And the neighborhood is so quiet, perfect for family getaways. It sits right next to the bike trail. The beach access was a drive in the golf cart away. We would definitely stay here again

Fabulous

Great spot, quiet and close to the beach. All amenities provided for - surpassed our expectations by far. We are a family of six active kiwis and we highly recommend Surfari for a lovely family vacation by the beach! Frogs were a very welcome addition as well as the fire pit, bikes, golf cart, surfboards and SUP. Brilliant time had by all.

Great House!

This was our first stay at Surfari and we cant wait to return. The owners were welcoming and made sure we had everything we could ever need. The house is sleek and comfortable. Morning coffee on the front porch, long beach days followed by family dinners under the lights on the back deck were just some of our favorites. The plunge pool, bikes and corn hole game were enjoyed by all. We all agree that this stay was one of our favorites!

Best location on Emerald Isle

Surfari had all of the necessities for a beach vacation. We felt very comfortable at the house. The property owners were responsive and forthcoming. I left a bag at the house and they were prompt and accommodating on returning it to me. I hope to return to Emerald Isle one day and would only rent this house. I cannot say enough about the location.

Alize made our first time stay at EI so welcoming. She promptly answered any questions I had prior to our trip. Everything we could want was available to us, making packing for our stay so much easier. The plunge pool was a big hit with our 7 year old granddaughter. I would, and hope to return again!

Surfari House

We had a wonderful stay here. The home and location were perfect. The house had everything you could need for a beach stay, all you really need to bring is your clothes. The house was a quick easy trip to the beach, made easier by the golf cart. The plunge pool was a perfect addition to the home. The hosts were lovely and made the process simple. We honestly can not say enough good things about our experience. We are hoping to return next year.

Graduation Beach Trip

Great property in a great location. All the beach items you need to enjoy yourself on beautiful Emerald Isle beach. Property located in quiet residential neighborhood with convenient access to beach! Golf cart was great for the short ride to beach access about block and a half away. Loved lounging on the front porch day bed listening to the waves and reading great books provided in small library in living room. Perfect location, convenient to restaurants and grocery stores.

Relaxing home away from home

We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Surfari. Alize and Rick were amazing hosts. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch and relaxing dinners on the back deck. The dining room was great for family game nights. The golf cart was a big hit with our teens, making going to the beach a breeze. We used the bicycles to get ice cream at night. Emerald Isle is beautiful and a family friendly vacation spot. Everything you need is a bike ride or short car ride away. Lots of fun activities to do and restaurants close by. We enjoyed mini golf and go-karts. It was nice meeting Alize and Rick. They were helpful, easy to reach when I needed to take my son to urgent care to treat his swimmers ear. Because he had to stay out of the water, we enjoyed the aquarium on the northern side of the island. We made a lot of memories at Surfari, our home away from home.

Great time at Surfari

The property is absolutely gorgeous. It was great for a family vacay. We enjoyed the bicycles, beach toys, and the porches. The golf cart was great for the 2 block trip to the beach. We also loved the Jacuzzi tub. We are definitely coming back next year.

Sweet retreat

Wonderful home away from home! Well equipped all around, plenty of towels and linens. Great selection of beach equipment that we were able to use and, of course, the golf cart to carry it all to and from the beach. Great, quiet neighborhood, and just minutes to the ocean.

2020 Vacation

This house was just lovely. It was a perfect size for our 5 adults. Plenty of room that we were not all on top of each other. Kitchen was fully stock with enough dishes, glasses, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. It was very clean. The outdoor shower was amazing. We enjoyed both the front porch and deck. It was wonderful that we had use of the golf cart, made it very easy to get to and from the beach. Also, the owner checked in with us through the week which was a very nice touch. If we come back we will rent this house again.

Great vacation spot!

We just returned from our trip to the beach and can't say enough about this house. It was equipped with everything we needed (the Shibumi beach shade is great) and is close to the beach. The golf cart was great after a long day at the beach and the kitchen had everything we needed to prep a good meal. Alize was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend this place!
