Loved it!!!
Our family and a couple of our kids friends had a wonderful stay on the beach in your place! We love the location, the beach was beautiful and not at all crowded. The dogs had so much fun in the surf and sand! We enjoyed the hot tub several times a day that was warm and inviting! We would stay here again for sure! Thanks for having us!!

We had a great time. The hot tub was very clean. Enjoyed being able to walk a very short walk to the beach. We had all. The kitchen items we needed for our stay. Had an issue with upstairs toilet and it was fixed the next day. Great. Response to our issue on that. Would book this house again!

Pleasant house in great location
Wonderful location on the water, with a short board walk to the beach. The gazebo on the board walk (shared by both sides of the house) is ideal for those who want to watch the ocean and the action on the beach without venturing down the steps onto the sand. We found the west side of the house comfortably furnished and equipped for our group of 7 adults. However, we thought it would be crowded with the 12 people it could sleep; there were only 7 chairs for the dining table and 6 seats in the living room area. When we arrived, we could feel sand on the floor, and there was some hair on one bathroom floor—but in general we felt we were in a clean space. The upstairs queen-sized bed was “broken down” according to its occupant, but the other beds were okay. The owner made it clear that we should contact him or the property manager about any issues; they were responsive in fixing things that were not working and buying necessary items, although it was not possible to get a plumber to repair the master bedroom toilet. There are chairs on the deck and in the gazebo as well as some beach chairs and sand toys. We made good use of the hot tub. There are smart TVs in every bedroom and and the living room. People with mobility issues would have trouble with the steep outside stairs on all houses in this area. Once inside this house, one bedroom and bath are on the main floor; the others including the spacious master are up steep stairs. Overall, we were happy we chose this house.

Great location - on the beach
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Location was great with the beach steps away. (The small sand/dune walk area from the steps to the beach is very narrow with brush growing over so definite care needed if mobility is challenged.) House was clean and had what my group needed for the stay. Owner communication was great and responsive. While not updated (clearly shown in pics so no surprise), everything important (like AC) worked and was comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

The beach is right there, and the gazebo is perfectly situated. The upstairs master was spacious and had a great view with a little balcony so was perfect to sit on in the mornings.

Excellent home away from home on Emerald Isle
A great 'Thank You' to Bob and all of the property management folks. We had a few questions at the start and they were ALL so quick and helpful! The house was VERY clean and had all of the little extras that you don't usually get from a beach house such as soap, dish detergent, some spices, linens, towels, etc. The walk to the beach was so close and just perfect. The pier had a roof over the gazebo which allowed for sitting, viewing the ocean and not being directly in the sun. The second story balcony was a lovely way to spend time relaxing and watching the sunrise/sunset. The house itself was comfortable with beautiful furnishings and an eclectic design. It truly felt like a home away from home. We'll definitely return!

Perfect beach cottage for our family (dog too!)
Perfect beach cottage feel! Updated appliances in kitchen matter more to me than fancy cabinets. The furniture was very comfortable with some beautiful old pieces. Very nice mattress on the king-size bed, plenty of towels and other linens. The ocean was a very short boardwalk away. The newly built-up primary dune blocked some of the view from the main floor -- you can see the ocean just fine, but you'll only get a glimpse of the beach, something to know if you want to keep an eye on kids from the back deck. The view from the upstairs (windows and balcony of master suite) is just amazing. We brought our golden retriever, and she had as much fun as the rest of us. The short hose for washing feet also worked well for rinsing the dog! Loved the shell washing & fish cleaning table on the shared beach access. We had a super nice couple in the next unit, but the way the back deck is set up with the stairs separating the two sides gives some privacy. With cooler April weather, we used the hot tub every day (each side has its own). We'll be back!!

Wow. What a view!!
The home we stayed in was a duplex. We had family and friends and it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us. The linens are professionally done and so we have plenty of them and we knew how clean they were. The house is comfortable but of course it has had some Use and that shows. The home was what I expected so there was no disappointment. At the end of the walkway to the beach it was a gazebo and that was absolutely perfect for us. It covered us from the sun and so we could sit out there anytime of the day. The breeze on the ocean is very nice and the beach was wonderful. It is not a crowded beach because it belongs to the homes all along that strip. Many in our family enjoy the hot tubs. Yes if I return to that area I would definitely rent this property again. The owner was always available by text. If you rent this property you will not be sorry. The view of the ocean is spectacular.

Great location!! i'd book again.
perfect for our trip. i'd book again. great location, right on the ocean and covered sitting area at dunes is nice for watching the sunsets in available chairs. there's clearly a photo of the stairs to enter but take note they are steep! the stairs to the upstairs are also tight but feasible for sure. bathrooms appeared to have been updated since online photos. hot tub was great relaxation area at night. TVs are new and easy to access Roku / Netflix or UTube TV - all pleasant surprises! Note the bedrooms (other than master) and bathrooms are a little tight but definitely adequate and good water pressure. master is very roomy, everyone slept very well so i think the mattresses have been updated recently too. the reason i didn't score this place with 5 stars is because of the property management response time - there were a number of issues i noted when i arrived and contacted the property manager - i didn't get a response (but it was new year's eve)- I also emailed the owner and he replied the next day. thankfully we were able to figure out fixing the issue ourselves with tools we found, so the issues didn't ruin our trip. ref cleanliness - it felt like there was sand everywhere but as one of my guests noted, we're at the beach... it's part of the experience! the furniture, kitchen, bathrooms were clean and neat. there was even a fan provided which was helpful. great that some washing detergent and hand soap were provided, and we washed towels, etc. while we were there. I'd recommend for family, friends, and wonderful that they allow pets.

Great Value! Good owner!
My family and I just returned from renting this property. It was a truly nice stay as it always is in Emerald Isle. We have rented a few different properties over the years and love the area. The property was reasonably furnished and there was plenty of space for everyone to move around. Being one of the more affordable Ocean front properties and being animal friendly I think it is unreasonable to expect that everything would be super modern, updated, and spotless but it was really quite good. Reading some of the other reviews I have to say folks really need to consider that these ocean front properties by nature just take alot of abuse from the elements as well as renters. The property had nice new smart TVs (this was handy on the rainy day we had for my 2yo), nice clean hot tub, kitchen appliances were a bit dated but functional, kitchen wares were provided and half decent. The provided linens were clean, beds were decent overall (one was a bit squeaky), things seemed reasonably clean overall, and the property owner was in touch and accessible for the one very minor issue that came up and seemed willing and able to handle any further issues that might have come up. Really not much more you can ask for. Thanks Robert!

1st family vacation in 12 years
We loved this placed, honestly was nicer than the pictures and just the right size for us. The location along the beach and it not being crowded was awesome. Enough parking, workable kitchen and nice bathrooms, the hot tub was well used and no issues to speak of. Thanks to Bob and his crew for working with us and providing an awesome space that let my family get together all at once for a week for the first time in more than 10 years. Was splendid.

A little disappointed....
-Tvs were not set up- sorry, it mattered to my cranky 18 yo after 8 hours in the car, and it was listed to have satellite/cable.... so had to have owners maintenance man come and do that....frustrating as we chose this in part to maintain zero contact and wound up with a stranger in our place for hours -Were charged extra for special corona cleaning which made me assume it would be spotless, it was not -During a storm there was water literally pouring in through the window sill, again, not a huge deal but i didnt plan on spending my vacation with towels and trash cans trying to protect someone elses property....response from owner - 'guess my maintenance mans fix didn't hold' Location is incredible, no taking away from that, but not sure I would rest this property again

Perfect Vacation
My husband & I and my sister along with our dogs stayed at this lovely home. It's in a beautiful location on the beach and not to far if you want to grab something to eat or do a little shopping. The house was very clean on our arrival , , the owner was easy to reach and the cleaning crew was very nice and efficient. We would definitely stay again. It was absolutely the most perfect & beautiful vacation we've been on.

This was a great place, had everything we needed. The house was spotless and even had extra towels. The kids loved the hot tub! So much fun walking on the beach finding all kinds of things that washed up. I'd highly recommend this house. Owner is very responsive to calls, not that we needed anything and the maintence guy was really nice.

Location Location Location, but beware of....
Your house is the grimist house we have ever rented. I am the type of person that is way beyond being "OMG! there is no carpet on the stairs", not a issue for me; I can go with the flow. The BLACK mold on the vent fan in the master bedroom and the GROSS slimy shower curtain with black mold dots on the in the secondary bathroom got my adult kids using the master bath. Now again, I can get over the stapled down flooring in the master bathroom and even the rotten out cabinet that is leaking parital board onto the floor, but really the filthy vent was just plan dust and dirt was just gross. BLACK mold underneath the flooring in the bathroom was yet another added visual feature. OMG! Stair railing was just gross to touch. Glad I did not fall because I would avoid touching it. Last but not least the baby coach roaches in the dishwasher was a great touch. You have no right to charge any cleaning fee. When was the last time anybody even tried to clean behind anything. I wouldn't normally look behind the TV console (master) but since you provided only ONE HDMI cable we would have to transfer it from downstairs to upstairs TVs. REALLY LAME. The dried half eaten Twillers in the twin bedroom carpet, the 1/2 eaten cooking in the draws (again looking for something to make the TVs work) Your smoke detector would just go off, no cooking and we could not get it to stop, AGAIN try better quality products. I would suggest you break the bank and buy shower curtains, get the house PROFESSIONALLY cleaned, and BUY GOOD stain free MUCH BETTER quality pillows. Good Luck selling, A 100% total gut job, wiring is outdated and you are straining the systems with the amount of piggybacking you are doing off outlets. . We were grateful for such beautiful weather and a grimy filthy house did not interfere with great sunsets and our family time. Respectfully Disappointed,

Relaxing
Great location, spacious and comfortable home. Maintenance man was really friendly and helped us with a lockout within minutes of our call! Robert also kept the jacuzzi clean during the week, which made us feel "taken care of". We were on the West side, which hasn't been updated and needs a few repairs (and the ocean view windows cleaned), but it was overall a fun week and the house is perfect for a family. I felt very welcome and safe during our stay. I would recommend this home for anyone looking for a restful vacation.

I love Emerald Isle. This is our second trip there. The location and outside of this property awesome! Everything you need is there. Love that. The inside however needs work. The hall light did not work, the shade in twin room was not secure, fell each time you closed it. It says it sleeps 15 and I am not sure about that. We had 13 and were quite close. The kitchen needs some bigger pans for that number of people. The fry pans really small. We consistently had problems frying stuff. None of the TVs worked except for the the main one. And maybe the big one upstairs I am not sure I did not try that one. The drain in the upstairs bathroom barely worked, leaving sand in the tub and standing in water as you shower. The place needs a really good cleaning. It is pretty dirty. I realize the tremendous use these places get and the water damage, we have had family beach vacations for well over 30 years. Therefore, I am not expecting perfect, but, clean, well equipped and fairly well maintained with drains and lights would go a long way. The pictures on the website for the west side are quite confusing. We were not sure what we were getting. For example. We never saw anything that looked like picture 17, honestly we thought there may be 2 sitting rooms. Picture 18 is a totally different kitchen not the one we had. 19-39 must be the east side. we never saw these. I did ask about this when we booked and I was told all the pics on the website were just of the west side. This is very confusing for booking. I appreciate very much the discounted rate. But, I would have expected much more for the full price. Overall we had a great time, appreciative of the place, loved the location to the beach, the tags to keep canopies on the beach and a place to take extra food at the end of the week. Those are such great amenities for a week at the beach. Thank you, Hope if selling is what the owner wants he is able to move on, but a really good cleaning would make it more marketable.
