Sobre esta propriedade
Oceanfront very private 4-bed house @ condo cost. Step off deck to beach. Views!
Welcome to "Best Life". See our 100+ five star reviews on VRBO over 10 years. Most of our bookings are return guests - that tells you everything you need to know. This is a very clean, well maintained and fully furnished OCEAN FRONT home - not a condo - in beautiful Emerald Isle, NC. It has a full-on ocean view from the deck, bedrooms and the living room, not partial views and not over the street or rooftops. It is the private half of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not a rental; it is someone's rarely used second home, so you will not have any crazy or noisy neighbors, parties or big groups next door. The kitchen and baths were recently completely renovated; see photos. You''re likely to see dolphins frolicking in the ocean. Unlike staying in a condo complex, you'll have privacy and no worries about noise, sharing the deck or annoying neighbors. No dogs. Perfect for families with children. The house is close to a lifeguard station on the beach. There is a gentle set of stairs from deck to beach, not the 50 or 60 steps at some places. The living room furniture is new in 2026. The house has everything you'll need and the kitchen is fully equipped (even a spare blender, coffee maker & toaster). There is a Kuerig coffee machine with pot and pod capability. We provide starter supplies upon your arrival (soap, paper towels, t.p.). All of the bedding in the house is newer premium gel memory foam 12" mattresses with thick zippered bed-sacks. This house is an excellent value and has everything you'll need for a restful stress-free vacation at the beach. The manager is local and the owner is always available. Note the built-in benches on the deck near the ocean. The bathrooms have gorgeous tile - not cheap fiberglass. The sliding doors are new, quiet, easy to use and locking Pella units. As you can see from all of our photos, we strive to make this a comfortable and tastefully 'beachy' home. Among the features of this property are Spectrum cable, STRONG wireless internet (to the deck +), newer central air unit, ceiling fans in every room, 4 flat-screen HD-TV's (55" in living room and 40" in 3 bedrooms with Roku access to premium channels), and custom hand-painted tropical murals in each bedroom. It's NOT cheap thin, uncomfortable rattan / boxy / IKEA furniture, nor is it used furniture from Grandma's house. We want you to relax and be comfortable! Call owner AL directly at nine seven three four seven six eight one nine one with any questions.
There are 2 ocean-front master bedrooms (1 K & 1 Q) and 2 bedrooms street side (partial Intercoastal / Sound view) with doubles and singles. There are 2 full tiled baths and a wonderful outdoor enclosed over-sized locking private shower that was renovated in 2024 with hot and cold water and a dressing area. (Great for children or a quick refreshing rinse after coming off the beach.) The deck has a convenient hose for sandy feet. There are lifeguards on the beach within sight just a short stroll away (April - Sept.). This house is ON THE BEACH with the same ocean, views, and ease of access as the mansions that cost 3 or 4 times as much. We provide beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach toys. We appreciate your inquiry for any questions and thank you for your time and for considering "Best Life"! E-mail or call if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best wishes for a great Emerald Isle vacation!

Emerald Isle
Com excelente localização em Emerald Isle, esta casa de temporada fica perto de parque aquático e na praia. Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf and Raceway e Emerald Forest Golf são atrações para quem gosta de atividades divertidas, mas a região ainda conta com Flatwaters Paddling e Emerald Isle Adventures. The Sweet Spot e Salty Pirate Water Park também valem a visita. Passeios de jet ski e passeios de caiaque são ótimas oportunidades para se refrescar, mas você também pode tentar atividades como passeios a cavalo e passeios ecológicos nos arredores.

Oceanfront beach house
Everything was perfect and exactly as advertised. We were all very happy with our stay.Cleaning was immaculate and Brazelton linen and cleaning provided linens and towels. We paid for them in advance and everything was there when we arrived.Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for a week at a reasonable price. Walk off the deck onto the sand.You won’t find a better place to stay.

Beach trip
We had a fantastic stay. The owners and property manager were great with communication from the time we booked the trip until we left. Great location and great people!! The house was just right for our group of two adults and two teenagers-loved every minute.

Emerald Isle
My family and I had a wonderful week at Alan‘s place! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat. The house was well supplied with beach chairs and toys. I remembered at the last minute to ask about whether or not linens were supplied, and they were not., So be prepared to either rent your linens or bring your own, which is a bit of a hassle when going to the beach kitchen was also well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, etc..

GREAT HOUSE AND LOCATION
This was our first trip to EI and could not have been more pleased with our accommodations and host! Loved the house and the location in reference to the beach. We were able to walk straight to the beach from the back door.
Restaurants and groceries were within a 10-25 minute drive.

Wonderful stay
We've stayed oceanfront up and down the east coast and Emerald Isle is by far one of the best locations and communities to visit. Beautiful beaches running east to west make for incredible sunrises and sunsets. This home was the perfect size in the perfect location just yards from the surf. Make sure to visit the wild horses on Shackleford Banks.

Perfect stay at Emerald Isle
This was our first vacation to Emerald Isle and we loved it! Alan’s home is close enough to restaurants and shops, but far enough away to enjoy some peace and tranquility. The house is steps away from the beach and has everything you could need. Alan is also an amazing owner who responded so quickly to any questions I had. Our family would highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!
We had a lovely time! The house was perfect for our family of 7 and it truly was oceanfront! It was the shortest walk to the beach we’ve ever had. House is located in a safe location with plenty of area to walk or run. The bedrooms were great and the living room and dining area had plenty of seating. Not having to pack chairs for the beach was the ultimate treat!!

Relaxing with beautiful views
What a great place to stay! An easy trip from deck to beach, good room sizes, nice layout, and one of the best beach spots on the Island. Alan was a wonderful host and made the whole process from booking to check-out very easy. We could see fireworks to the east and west! Sitting on the walkway benches with a cold glass of wine watching the sunset and the moon rise was a great way to end the day. Not sure how he arranged for the best weather too! It only really rained in the evening. Thanks for the hospitality!

Family Vacation
First the view is amazing! Great little house for our family we felt very at home there it was clean and kitchen was well equipped and upgraded with top notch appliances. Close to restaurants and attractions. Nice quite neighborhood. Beach access was the main reason we chose this house with children 1-6 makes things so much easier for a quick easy trip back and forth. The owner Alan was very nice quick to respond to a phone call or text to answer any questions you may have and to reach out during ur stay to see if everything was ok. If you are looking for a quite little house on a beautiful beach this would be the house!

Awesome
The rental was just as described. The owner was very responsive and wonderful to deal with. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were of a high quality which was great since my husband and I both have back and leg issues. Our granddaughter and son had to fly in on Saturday. There was a very nice airport an hour away, Albert Ellis. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation spot.

Best beach view ever
For the price it was ok, house had a bit of a closed up smell. Could use some updating especially bathrooms, furniture fabrics not worn but padding in cushions were flat and faded. There was some trash outside around the house around the shower area. The laundry/beach storage room was disgusting and dirty everything just thrown in . Washer was not working most of the time. This room needed totally cleaned out. The 0cean front close location to the beach could not be beat. My family would not return to this house.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 3 de abr. de 2020
Thanks for the feedback, Jane. While they are clean and serviceable, we are planning a bathroom upgrade. With respect to the washer, this is a duplex and when the washer on your side of the house broke during the week you stayed (a previous guest apparently washed one too many sandy towels), we made the other washer available. That side of the house was vacant, so this was minimally inconvenient for you. Nevertheless, we regret the unpredictable breakdown. The storage room you refer to is a carport storage room not connected to the living space. It is for beach chairs, beach umbrellas, children's sand toys, grill, and sports equipment, etc. We cannot clean this each week and yes, guests do sometimes leave it messy. We will endeavor to keep it tidier. Thanks for your suggestions and advice.

As Advertised; Easy Deal; Nice Owner
I rented this house sight unseen and I must say that the listing pictures are accurate. The owner does not exaggerate any of the details or features. The house has a straight-on ocean-front view with nothing in the way; it absolutely could not be better. It really is a short walk off the deck right onto the beach. Both master bedrooms are comfortable and nice. The deck is great and there is a huge heavy-duty table umbrella that is nice to have. We found lots of toys, sand chairs and tennis racquets in the laundry room, which was helpful. The kitchen had soap, foil, coffee filters, etc., which was appreciated. The owner was a nice gentleman and easy to work with; he sent us lots of area information even before we reserved the week. I would not hesitate to book this house again and will recommend it to others.

Beautiful house, beautiful beach
We loved the house and the location. Beach was truly only a few steps away from the patio. Rooms were spacious with lots of storage space, beds were comfortable and kitchen and dining area were much bigger than they appear in the pictures. We had 4 adults and 2 children and it never felt crowded. Cabinets were stocked with tons of dishes and cutlery, we found everything we needed to cook multiple times a day. We used the charcoal grill a few times too. House had plenty of beach chairs and kids beach toys too. We loved the clothes lines outside, we used them every night for the towels and the swim suits. We liked the location, the beach never felt crowded. It felt like we had a private beach all to ourselves. Grocery stores were about 15 minute drive away (Food Lion is much cheaper than Publix). We liked the Circle pizza for a quick dinner our first night. And we highly recommend the Rucker John's restaurant, it was reasonably priced and the food was amazing. Dollar General is very close if you need anything quickly. My kids enjoyed evening walks to the DG to get some ice cream bars.Over all, we loved our stay at the house and the owner was very easy to communicate with. He had checked in with us few times and responded promptly to my emails. We would definitely rent this house again.

DO NOT STAY HERE
I would not recommend staying here. We arrived on the first day to a filthy house. We contacted the owner to address the problems including roaches, broken deck boards, back door not locking, ceilings throughout the house peeling down and general disgust with the house (bathrooms are hardly big enough to turn around in). We were told to sleep on it and call back the next day. When we called back with the same issues we were told he would not refund any money. Unfortunately we are still here on day 2 of our vacation and miserable because we have kids that are having to stay in this disgusting house. We have stayed at Emerald Isle over the past 5 years at the same price point with great experiences so there are much better options at Emerald Isle, so while I would recommend the beach I would definately stay away from renting this house.

This review was written in retaliation for the following. The guest contacted me by phone immediately upon arrival to ask for a full refund. It seemed that she found a larger - and heavily discounted - different house that same day. She said that my house was "too tight" for her group. When I declined to refund on that basis, she threatened a bad review on VRBO if I did not pay up. There was no mention of the house being "filthy" or "disgusting". A while later, the guest contacted me about bugs and cleaning issues, as well as loose deck boards, and again demanded a refund so she could go to the house that was "on hold" for her. I offered to send the exterminator and she declined. I sent a housekeeper and she declined to let them clean. I sent a contractor to nail a few non-hazardous deck spindles. It is unconscionable for someone to use words like "filthy" and "disgusting" when it is patently false. Note that the guest filed her VRBO review on the second day of her seven day stay. I later found out that there were two families staying there that week and not just one as contracted; no wonder they were "too tight".

Terrible Wifi, Gorgeous Beach, Clean House
The beach is gorgeous and we enjoyed our stay in the house. However, we were greatly disappointed in the Wifi. Since the listing said that there is Wifi for the unit, we expected to have decent Wifi and we came prepared to answer work emails and stream TV. However, this was impossible since the wireless signal strength was "poor" and the internet download speed was between 0.06 mbps and 11 mbps for the entire trip. We called the property manager to complain about the Wifi on the first day of staying in the unit, and he contacted the internet provider to have the modem rebooted, but it did not improve the Wifi. It seemed that the wireless router was in the unit next door since the Wifi signal was strongest on their side of the deck. Honestly, we feel that if the router is in fact not in the unit the VRBO listing is falsely advertising the Wifi accessibility.
With that said, every other aspect of the house was true to the description and pictures provided on the VRBO listing and we were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of the unit.
We opted to rent linens for our stay. We went through Emerald Isle Linen Essentials and it was very convenient. The linens were waiting for us when we arrived and simply left the linens in the duffel provided when we left. The cost for the linens was $160, which was based on the number of beds in the house.

Thank you for your kind comments about the house. We all work hard to keep it nice. I'm sorry you had a problem with the WiFi. I asked you to let us know if the re-boot on the first day did not solve the problem. I did not hear anything further and therefore thought the re-boot fixed it. I wish I called to verify that, but didn't want to bother you on your vacation. If you had told us, we would have had it promptly fixed, but we did not know there was a further problem. Thank you again for staying with us. Best wishes for the rent of the summer!
Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Alan
Concerned, professional and responsive property owner who has owned this property for 20+ years. You'll have my cell # and I'm always available. Plus, there a knowledgable and dedicated local private property manager and cleaner who are available to you during your stay. We check before you arrive to make sure everything is perfect.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We considered a beach house in several coastal communities in different states before falling in love with Emerald Isle on our first visit in fall, 2001. Emerald Isle has been consistently voted "Best NC Beach" by USA Today and other media. We immediately knew that the small town village feel, absence of high-rise condos, great vacation amenities, local friendliness, family emphasis, lack of traffic and gorgeous uncrowded beaches made this the place we wanted to visit again and again. It's still the same 20+ years later. We still enjoy it and you will too!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
One of our favorite activities is simply to eat most meals on the deck and watch the ocean, the dolphins, people enjoying the beach, and the sunrises and sunsets over the water. There have been a number of weddings on the beach right in front of this home. Some folks see whales just off-shore in the late fall. We have had turtle nests on the beach right in front of the home too. It is fascinating to watch them hatch!
