Book this house!!

This house was amazing!!! It was by far the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The kids had so much fun playing volleyball, cornhole, and swimming. The beach access was a very easy one minute walk. The host is more than gracious and has great commutation. We will definitely be staying here again!!

The house was as it was advertised. They had a lot of the extra amenities in there. Would have loved a couple of extra fans for the rooms. But also not a big deal at all. Beds were comfortable. I'd stay again.

First time, second row

Our dream was always to spend every Thanksgiving at the beach and we have been to Emerald Isle for 23 years straight. Grandchildren have always loved it and have made many memories there. This property is great, providing space for gathering or for finding a place a little away from hubbub.

Excellent communication and prompt response

We enjoyed our stay SO MUCH! We were a large group (Myself, my dad, my mom, my son, his spouse and their 3 kids, my daughter, her spouse and their 3 kids). The layout of the home is perfect for large groups. Having 2 kitchens was amazing at mealtimes. The outdoor space and volleyball court (sandbox to my grandchildren😉) were amazing and the pool was a great size for the little kids and adults alike. Host responded immediately when we realized grill was out of gas and a new tank was brought and hooked up within 30 minutes. Great access to beach either direction. Great stay with great host!!!

The location and the house itself were perfect for our family. It was clean and convenient and comfortable. We loved spending time on the decks, especially sitting out there in the evening after the little ones went to bed. We all enjoyed the pool and the walk to the beach was short and easy. I would be very happy to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Jonas

Host profile image
Emerald Isle is our favorite Beach Town. It's both small enough and big enough (population). It's remote but not too remote; it has all conveniences of a bigger beach town but offers a different atmosphere. The people are fabulous and the small businesses (not chains) are great!

We love all the beach activities here, the historic areas (Swansboro & Beaufort), the Croatan National Forest, & the big cities are just a few hours away! :)

We are very excited to share our beach home with you. Owning this and sharing it has taken decades of effort to realize. We live in a great country where we have the opportunity to work hard, save and make investments back in ourselves and others. These opportunities are nothing that we should take for granted. We thank our military for protecting the freedoms we have and that we can freely enjoy our great country!

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this property because of several reasons. It's located off Coast Guard Road, therefore, there is less traffic. The size of the property has allowed us to put in both a Pool and Volleyball court. We liked that it was 2nd row where we can see the Ocean but have privacy that Oceanfront homes do not afford renters in the peak season. The inside of the home is fabulous. It has 3 levels each with a living area, 2 levels have a full kitchen, there are 4 full bathrooms and 2 decks with a patio. This set up allows for people to gather and still have personal space. We felt it was an amazing house that could be shared with other people to make wonderful lifetime memories.

What makes this property unique

* 2 individual kitchen areas with one on ground floor
* Location off Coast Guard Rd
* Near the Emerald Isle Woods Park (off Coast Gaurd)
* Near the Ocean Oaks Playground (off Coast Gaurd)
* 2 decks, 1 patio
* 3 Living Areas
* 4 Full Bathrooms
* 2 Outside Showers (one enclosed, one not enclosed)
* Pool & Volleyball Court
