The beach is just a short walk away and the pool was great for relaxing in the afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook almost all meals in the house. We really enjoyed our stay!

Linens were provided with beds made and kitchen is well equipped. There is plenty of space for a large group and the pool was the icing on the cake!

Great beach getaway
Great location. Nice quiet neighborhood. View of the ocean from the upper deck and short walk to the beach. House is nice- lots of stairs from pool deck to upper level . Definitely got lots of exercise 😊. My only complaint is that the pool was dirty and had debris . Also the trash containers - 4 of them were all full. The interior was nice and clean and well stocked with necessities!

Thank you Angela. Our pool is professionally cleaned twice a week, however we had torrential rain and heavy wind so I suppose leaves blew in. Let me also say anytime a guest needs to have pool maintenance, just call us. We also have a skimmer net by the pool. As far as the trash, we have directions for the guest with trash pick up days and the guest are responsible to roll the cans to the end of the driveway. I apologize if the previous guest did not do that. I will add the directions to the VRBO website as well. It is a three story house, which makes the elevator such a nice feature. We're glad you enjoyed the ocean views from second and third story decks. Thank you for letting us know about the pool and trash.

The beach house was exactly as the pictures on the website showed… modern & spacious! The elevator was a huge help for elderly members. Plenty of room for ten adults to spread out & privacy for those “working” while on vacation! A short walk to what feels like a private beach! Awesome views of the ocean from the outdoor decks & plenty of seating…. Both inside & out. Having the pool was awesome also! Being able to have the dogs with us was a big plus & there is plenty of areas for walking them plus a nice trail in Emerald Isle. Hope to be able to go again!

Relaxing Family Vacation
This home is even better than the pictures! It was very clean and had everything we needed. As with any rental, you will need to take toilet paper, paper towels, etc for the duration of your stay. The weather was still a bit chilly, so having the pool table was perfect. The kitchen has more than enough dishes, utensils, and cookware which made it easy for us to cook most meals. There is ample seating for family meals. Though this home isn’t oceanfront, we could see and hear the ocean from the balconies. And it’s just a short walk to beach access. There are spaces to park a golf cart at the beach access entrance. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! This is definitely a favorite of the homes we’ve stayed in. The homeowner and maintenance guy were responsive and helpful. Our family enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

A+ house and location
Great set up for our kids and family to meet with plenty of space to have quiet time between the third floor dining/living area, the pool/TV area on the first floor, the 3 decks that have views of the ocean, sunrises and sun sets - saw a spectacular lighting storm over the ocean one night! And the outdoor pool and hot-tub were used everyday after the beach. Bedroom layout was awesome with most rooms with TVs. The elevator made it so much easier to unload the car and get everything up to the second and third floor. The only shortcoming was the king size bed - not enough bottom support and felt like we were swallowed up by the overly thick foam pad. You can tell this place was loved and well thought out by the owner. The kitchen was fully stocked - even a cheese grater and blender. The coffee machine was not working right - not draining correctly but that was miner. We hope to come back again. Can't say enough. Have some awesome memories and great pictures!

Jo Ann, the property owner was very responsive. When a storm blew through overnight and blew leaves and dirt into the pool, Jo Ann had the pool guy come out and do a quick cleaning. The home itself was just as described. Very clean and well laid out. The beds were all very comfortable, and the location, just a block off the beach, was perfect!

Fun beach house will make you exercise!
I rented this big house to spend this vacation with my family. My husband and I were joined by my 2 daughters’ families and my son and his girlfriend. The house is great but going up and down the three levels (the kitchen is on the third level) was a bit of daily exercise. The elevator was great for luggage and groceries though. The children had a lot of fun at the pool no matter how long they were at the beach that day! The views from the third floor are great and there are enough rockers for whatever many people want to sit on the deck. The parking is a little tight for the maximum capacity of 4 because if they are not all compact vehicles, some will have to park half on the incline of it. We had 4 inflatable kayaks and it was a challenge to open the back of the truck to put them in when all 4 cars were parked in the driveway. It appears that the pool was never cleaned while we were there, despite the owner’s reply to other comments that it is professionally cleaned twice a week. Also the water pressure is very low, we had to make sure no washer was running before getting into the shower, otherwise you would have risked to remain with the soap on you.
However, it’s a great place for a family vacation, very clean and with a very well equipped kitchen.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Jo Ann
Hello Guests, We have made many cherished memories over the years with our children and extended friends and family, in our Emerald Isle home. We have kayaked together, taken long bike rides and walks, shared special times around the table for those special seafood feasts. We look forward to even more years (hopefully with some grandchildren) making new memories; this is such a great beach for families. We hope you too will think of our home as a place to reconnect refresh and renew.
The Daltons
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We have looked off and on at coastal property for over twenty years. When we came to Emerald Isle on vacation in 1996, we knew this is where we wanted to invest in a property and lifestyle. Emerald Isle has so much to offer, from pristine waters, sidewalks for walking and biking. In 2001 we bought a smaller house (Brand New Day), also a vacation rental; when the opportunity presented itself to buy and build we took advantage. This was a from the ground up project; we chose all the furnishings (moved it all by ourselves too) and my wife did all the interior decorating. We also did most of the landscaping. It was a lot of sweat equity but we are so proud of the outcome; this is just a wonderful home and location for us to come together and shut out the rest of the 'real' world. Our hope is that it will be that kind of vacation refuge for you as well.
