Wonderful vacation!

We loved our time at A Swell Life and wish it could have been longer. The condo is very clean, spacious and well stocked. The couch, recliners and beds are very comfortable. We had great views of the ocean from indoors and out. Spending time on the wraparound balcony was so enjoyable. We would recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay at Queen's Court!

Amazing

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. I have all positive things to say. The condo has everything you could need. It is well stocked with kitchen gadgets, linens, etc. I would 100% stay there again. The amenities like the pool, basketball courts, putting green are all in amazing shape and were very fun for us and the kids. The property is even more beautiful in person. Honestly I don’t think the photos do it justice at all. This is one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. We will definitely be back one day.

Just Perfect

“A Swell Life” was perfect in every way! We had 4 adults but more could have stayed. Location was wonderful with restaurants and grocery very close. Easy access to the beautiful beach with no stairs. The views from the condo are absolutely amazing! Sitting on the swing looking at the ocean was priceless! The balcony had many seating options which was wonderful. The condo was clean and well stocked. The owners were wonderful to work with! Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing you beautiful place!

Really clean, spacious condo in great location

We had a great stay at A Swell Life. The condo is extremely clean and has many updates. Great location-only a few steps from the unit to the beach and the complex is located near many restaurants and 2 grocery stores. Loved that we could play pickleball as well. The unit does face the beach access and a small community pavilion so you may get some noise into the evening (until quiet hours at 10pm) but the condo’s windows block most of the noise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this unit again!

Spacious Condo with Amazing Views

Really great place. Proximity to parking, the elevator, and the beach made it super convenient. Very spacious - larger than some rental houses/duplexes we've stayed in. The corner location and wrap-around deck provided amazing views. Good furniture, comfy beds, and adequately stocked kitchen with quality appliances, pans, etc. We actually appreciated that the condo wasn't overcrowded with excess furniture or full of a bunch of crappy kitchen stuff like in most rentals. Also appreciated the laundry room and full-size washer and dryer. We found it exactly as advertised and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Well Appointed Spotless!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Michael was so helpful with our check-in as we were tired from driving all day and it was dark upon our arrival- texted us to make it easy to find our way to the elevator. There are so many personal touches in this condo that you feel right at home. It is the best equipped kitchen I have had the pleasure of using while renting a beach property! Thank you for your help in finding an item left behind by a family member and ensuring its return! We are so very grateful! Doreen and Mark

Spotless and very nicely decorated! Perfect location with the beach just a few steps away! We had a little trouble figuring out the access due to walking in on ground floor versus going up one level to the actual first floor. Owners were very responsive and got us taken care of!

Review of A Swell Life

This property was exactly what we were looking for. The work put into refurbishing the property made the visit totally enjoyable. My wife has mobility issues so the elevator really helped. Being on the beach front allowed us to enjoy the beach without actually being on it.

We loved our stay at this beautiful place. The views are so amazing! Everything we could ask for was here.

They even had a little office area set up that worked wonderfully for our family that needed to still be able to work. We look forward to another visit!

Great beachfront location & rental

We wanted to hear, see and feel the ocean breezes and this made it possible with sliding glass doors and wrap around deck enabling us to do this from nearly every room. Also well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, and compact computer closet to hook my laptop into two big screens with good computer chair made it especially easy to conveniently handle meals, laundry and a remote work meeting. Finally furniture and beds very comfortable and parking easy. Great location, too! Will return.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Raby

Host profile image
I am a born and raised Texas boy who married a beautiful woman from Alaska. When I retired from the military, we ended up in Maryland. After traveling the world with the military, we decided it was time to start relaxing and soaking up some sun. We started going to Emerald Isle as that is were I spent summers growing up. As a child I spent most of my days under the Bogue Inlet Pier or hanging at the Holiday Travel Park.

Why they chose this property

This property has been a dream of mine since the complex was built in the 80s. My grandfather first purchased in Queens Court when the first opened. He had a one bedroom and it still belongs in my family today. I have watched Queens Court grow up right along side of me. The memories I have from my childhood and the memories I have made with my children are what make me want to share my condo with you. I want for families and friends to be able to enjoy the beach life as I have. There is no place like EI and I hope my wife and I have created a place for you to enjoy during your visit to my home away from home, “A Swell Life.”

What makes this property unique

Queens Court is conveniently located in Emerald Isle!!! We love that it is off the main road and close to grocery and beach stores, restaurants, and of course ice cream shops. You can walk or bike to many locations easily on the pathway. There is Emeralkd Forest mini golf, the Salty Pirate Water Park within a mile from the condominium and Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier is just a 5 minute drive away. NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll is 20 minute drive down the island or you can make an afternoon trip to historic Beaufort or Swansboro to explore the shops and see the sights. To access Queens Court, once you get on the island, you take the first right at light so you don’t have to compete with a majority of the traffic that is traveling down the island at peak times. We love that Queens Court is a small condominium complex with only four buildings that are three units high.
