Thanksgiving at Linda's Lanai East

This is an excellent property for families to enjoy some time at very beautiful Emerald Isle. Check in was extremely easy and our host Jody was very responsive to questions we had during our stay. The location is within 10 minutes of whatever you may need - grocery stores (2) and restaurants. The Dollar General is right around the block for quick trips. The property had everything we needed for our week stay during Thanksgiving.

Local Wedding

Overall great stay. One bedroom listed as having sofa bed in addition to queen bed - no sofa bed, only a chair. Very nice facility that needs to consider replacing the carpeting and providing additional basic products like paper towels, toilet paper, as well as kitchen hand towels. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

Wonderful Week

Our family of 7 adults and 3 children had a wonderful week in this home. The pool and hot tub were great to have available. The rooms were comfortable. Plan to wash the towels that are provided or bring extra. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. We will consider coming back again.

Not what expected for the price

The “pull out” in one room was literally a chair. The air upstairs did not work due to freezing ac lines so all but two in our party literally had to sleep in 78 degree bedrooms. We had no idea when we were suppose to take trash down so that piled up. Definitely not worth what we paid. Everything was dusty and drains clogged. We spent our whole first day cleaning. Will not be back to this duplex. The area was very nice and the beach was amazing.

Girlfriends Getaway

We had a group of 6 for an annual GF getaway. This was a perfect location! The attention to details was appreciated. We had a glitch in the keypad but the response time was immediate and it was resolved quickly. Everything was clean, spices and basic needs were available. The ice machine was not working but there was ice provided or left behind in the freezer. My crew was impressed with the crab crackers that were also available as we tried the local seafood which was also so convenient and perfect for our group! We did not have to trave more than 10 minutes to get to anything we needed! Great vacation spot, right on the beach, super convenient!! We plan to return!! Thanks for a great stay!

Nice

Everything was nice. A few issues, the ice maker didn't work, the TVs in the bedrooms were not working, which was disappointing. I received a phone call on Friday, asking us to move our cars, which were parked on our side, I tried to return the call to voice mail but the mail box was full

Closest to the beach we've ever been!

Beautiful house right on the beach - the pool and hot tub were great, but the views of the ocean and the short walk down the steps to the beach were the best part. Property managers were great, answering all my questions in a timely manner. We underpacked towels and overpacked everything else! (It would be nice to have a couple of extra shower towels for the guests). There are a TON of beach and pool toys in a storage box by the pool, so we definitely overpacked on those. Very nicely built house layout - each of our family members wake up at different times in the morning and we each found that the house was very sound-proof compared to other rentals we've stayed in. Would definitely consider returning!

Excellent, large oceanfront house

We stayed here with family that included myself & my boyfriend (in our 50s), my elderly parents, my 2 adult daughters, and my 7-month-old granddaughter. The house worked out very well to accommodate us all. It was great that there was a king bedroom & bathroom on the main (first) floor, so my parents could stay on the level with the living room & kitchen, & less need to go up & down stairs. The A/C worked great, there are two zones… even the third floor bedroom stayed nice and cool. The kitchen was well-stocked & all bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. The view from the balconies was fantastic, & the walk to the beach was short. It was great to have a landing/rest/storage spot along the way to leave the chairs & toys at night. The rinsing area was perfect. It was nice to have the pool too. It was kept clean and there were lots of pool toys. Communication with the owner was fantastic. The only “negatives,” in my opinion, are the lack of seating or shade options in the outdoor areas. The upstairs balconies are the only places from which there is a view of the ocean… but there is only a total of 4 chairs provided (at a 5 bedroom house that sleeps 12+ people.) The pool area has no shade at all… this year when my granddaughter was just a baby it was not terrible, but if I were watching bigger kids, it would’ve been impossible to sit out there for any length of time with no shade. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend this property.

Great place for a large group

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean & welcoming with easy beach access and a great view from 3 balconies. The pool and hot tub were also great perks. Kitchen was well stocked and numerous bathrooms were well appreciated. We had some minor issues with appliances that we were able to resolve (coffee maker, ice maker, dishwasher). It was a great week at the beach and we would definitely consider renting this place again.

Great getaway

Good getaway, with a great location to the beach. Dollar General so close which was great for those last minute things you need to pickup. Good space and layout for families. Only critiques/feedback: pool water was pretty chilly especially the first couple days, but I think the weather had been cold before we got there. Overall the house was clean, but it was the unseen things that were not - blender, cooking dishes, grill etc. And we wished we would have had access to a vacuum while we were there to clean sand - which would help keep the place cleaner in the long run too. Overall, everyone said we would come back again in a heartbeat!

We visited EI with some of our dearest college friends, and their children. Our stay at Linda’s Lanai was perfect. We reserved the entire duplex. There was plenty of space, seating, room to dine. The pool and hot tub were great. The walk to the beach was easy. Everything was clean and the owners were AWESOME! They were so quick to respond, friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Amazing find, right on the beach!

This place was everything I was looking for. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfy. The kitchen was stocked with pretty much anything you might need. The pool and hot tub being right next to the beach was SO relaxing. It was so nice waking up in the morning and sitting on the porch watching the ocean. Amazing place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jody and Melissa Stouffer

Melissa and Jody made Carteret County their home after living in Central and Western North Carolina. They have truly immersed themselves in the Salt Life! Jody, a native Marylander and avid home chef, has become very knowledgeable of local seafood and collects his own blue crabs, shrimp and clams. Summer weekends are often spent kayaking in the Sound, enjoying Salt Life with friends on the sand bar or fishing for whatever is in season. In the fall, Jeep rides on the beach followed by a low country boil are a great way to spend the evening!

Why they chose this property

What separates this beach rental from many of the others, is this property provides all of the amenities to make this the best beach vacation ever! Linda's Lanai is recognized by VRBO as a 5 star premier host rental,.Three of the five bedrooms have sliding glass doors with spectacular, unobstructed beach and ocean views. The fully stocked kitchen has all of the cookware and dinnerware you could possibly need.
