Excellent Property
This was our first time renting sound side and we loved it. We rented this house as our family brought kayaks to put in the sound. It was perfect!! The public dock right beside the private dock to the house was so easy to get in and out. This house is located in the narrow part of the island so it was a very short walk across the street to hit the beach. Clean home, had everything we needed for our week getaway, would definitely rent here again. Max the homeowner was very responsive and gave some great tips for our trip. The surprise sweet treat was a huge hit as well! Gorgeous water views! Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent location and the dock is great!
Great place away from all the retail and traffic of Emerald Isle. The beach is a quick 2 minute walk (has a life guard tower there) and the dock into the sound is great - offers relaxing sunrises and sunsets of the sound. And great for fishing!
The house is more than enoug for 2 people or plenty large for even 6.
Kitchen is fully equipped and the fan on the stove top was great.
We used the linen service provided and there were plenty of towels and wash clothes.
Max was responsive to all our queries and a good host.

My family and I stayed at Simple Blessings August 17-24. The location was perfect! We were right on the sound and the beach was right across the street. The property was wonderful and sitting on the top deck outside of the master bedroom in the early morning was gorgeous and serene. The host, Max, was fantastic! Communication was top notch and he gave great dining suggestions. Thank you Max for having us at your wonderful property. Looking forward to our next stay!

Great Location!
Comfortable open floor plan beach home that was located within feet of the sound and super close to the ocean! Well stocked kitchen with convenient pantry storage. Lots of natural light with great sound views. Easy walk to the beach or you could load up and pay to park at the public beach access. The host was very responsive and provided great information! Look forward to booking again!

Great Vacation
This house is amazing! Short walk to the beach but I would recommend a wagon or something to put all your beach stuff in. The beach was busy Saturday and Sunday because it is by a public parking lot but the rest of the week was not busy at all. Life guard perch was right by where we set up everyday. The dock and the sound side are fantastic with sunrise and sunset everyday. I didn't fish but people were fishing everyday on the other docks. I would stay here again for sure! Emerald Isle is our favorite beach and place to take our vacation.

Absolutely perfect
We had an absolutely magical week staying at Simple Blessings! Max was the most curteous host we've ever had. The home was clean upon arrival. The view of the sound was just perfect. Having a fenced back yard made bringing our dogs a completely stress free vacation, and that is important to us! We caught crabs and fish off the pier, and our dogs absolutely LOVED swimming in the sound. The location to the ocean is easy access and easily walkable. The beds were VERY comfortable, we slept so good! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Property was awesome! Our teenage children love everything water, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, sunbathing, fishing, crabbing out of your own backyard. Beautiful views from the multistory decks out the back. Walk right across the street to the ocean beach. Can’t beat it! Our Host was super helpful, and accommodating. We will be back!

Yearly seaside reunion
Wonderful home between sound and ocean ! So easy for our fishermen to walk across the street and for the ladies to find shell treasures. Lots of conk shells , dolphins and birds spotted Excellent lifeguards on duty whom we needed when my friend fell ! When there is low tide small pools form for kids to sit in ! House is as described but beware of steps inside and only wear shoes or non slip socks ! Lots of wonderful porches to sit on and a back yard Though the weather was cool we did so enjoy the peace and quiet. Owner left welcoming messages and a delicious ice cream cake ! Sun rises were spectacular .Thank you Blessings !

Good value
We stayed here for 4 nights so my spouse could relax awhile given his hectic schedule. We also traveled with our lab and are appreciative for the house being pet friendly. The house was just as described in listing and clean. Unfortunately the weather for our stay wasn’t good but we made the most of it. Location to beach is just across the street and house is on sound side. Emerald Isle has beautiful beaches and very family oriented. 7 minutes to restaurants and great walking/bike paths.

Great Emerald Isle Inland Waterway Location
This house is ideally located on the inland waterway with close proximity to the beach. We enjoyed inland water views from the house deck and from the pier. We also enjoyed walking the beach with ocean water views. The house owner went above and beyond in not only providing needed check in information, as well as local restaurant and activities recommendations. We were impressed.

Sound Side Getaway
We love vacationing in the Emerald Isle area and decided to stay on the sound side this year . We found that Simple Blessings is the perfect place to stay! The house is well kept and the location is fantastic with the private dock to use and being next to the public dock and across the street from the public beach access ! Great communication with our host Max! Looking forward to next year!

labor day weekend
Overall it was a positive stay. Pros- the owner is very responsive and fixed an issue with the water heater pretty promptly. He was very helpful to provide restaurants and other ideas for our stay. The VIEW is amazing of the sound! So relaxing and beautiful. Love the big windows. Multiple decks to enjoy the view. New grill to use. Supplied shampoo/conditioners for the bathrooms.
Cons- the house needs some TLC. The kitchen cabinets are peeling, there were no dishtowels stocked to use, the blinds - many of them did not have wands to adjust them. It would be nice to have soap in the bathrooms provided and some toilet paper in all the bathrooms. Just for the price point, I would have expected a house in better shape.
But again, we had a wonderful weekend with wonderful memories so at the end of the day that what matters!

Simply Blessing - Relaxing Oasis
When we first stumbled upon this home on VRBO, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch, but everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Max is the most thoughtful, gracious host.
He provided us with all the information we needed, kayak rentals, shops, excursions, etc. The home was just perfect! Kitchen was spacious and contained everything one needs.
The bed was comfortable and the balcony off the master was perfect for a morning coffee or star gazing at night. The location was incredible – sound view and only one block to the beach.
Max provided excellent restaurant recommendations and was of great help. He went way beyond to make our vacation comfortable and memorable.
Thanks Max and Simply Blessing for a wonderful vacation!

Best vacation for beach and sound views
If you want a prime location, this is the place for you! Enjoy the water sports in the sound and short walk to the beach! Max is the best host we have ever encountered with immediate attention to your every need. Many locations within duplex for eating breakfast lunch or dinner. You can choose areas on back porch, front porch, dining room, pier, or fire-pit area. The sunset over the sound is breathtaking.

Best of both worlds
We had a wonderful stay. The house is clean and comfortable and the location can't be beat. You'll be right on the Sound and directly across the street from a public beach. The kayaking is fantastic, but definitely bring water shoes or an old pair of sneakers, as the Sound is pretty shallow, and the bottom has a lot of oyster shells. We've used VRBO for years, and can guarantee you won't find a kinder or more responsive homeowner anywhere. Mr. Creech even emailed restaurant recommendations and riptide alerts to us. He's the best of the best.
