Relax to the Max

As the name suggests, a relaxing stay awaits you and your loved ones at Relax to the Max! Nestled steps from the waves, this vibrant beach house boasts a sun-filled interior, shared pool access, and gorgeous ocean views. (The condition of beach walkways, decks, and stairs changes quickly with wind, weather, erosion, and natural sand migration. We make every effort to maintain the accurate status of home amenities but do not guarantee their complete accuracy due to unexpected changes to the coastline.) Afternoons under the sun are best spent splashing, engaging in playful competition on the tennis court, and exploring Emerald Isle's beaches. Downtown's locally owned restaurants and shops are mere minutes away, and other attractions like mini-golf and the local aquarium are also easily accessible. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Cedar Street Park, Blue Heron Park, Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier, and Emerald Isle Pier are all within a short distance, providing opportunities for fishing, picnicking, and kayaking. Tranquil Patsy Pond Nature Trail sets the stage for serene walks surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife.

Inside, Relax to the Max and quickly get comfortable amidst the living room's plush seating, upscale artwork, and large smart TV. Steps from here, the well-equipped kitchen positively gleams with its brand-new stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. Pleasantly decorated with fun beach-themed mementos, the bedrooms boast personal TVs, high-quality linens, and central air-conditioning. The bathrooms are just as impressive with their large vanities and respective walk-in showers/jetted tubs. A private washer/dryer rounds out the interior amenities at your fingertips.

Outside, gaze out at magical sunset views from the newly furnished deck.

Perfect Beach Location

This is the perfect Beach condo. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The property owner was responsive and friendly. Best of all, the property sits right on the beach and very close to the pool, the perfect location! We had a fantastic stay!

Great getaway

My sister-in-law and I wanted a little beach getaway with our kids for a few days. The location of this unit was amazing. The walkway to the beach is right outside the door, so no need to bring a beach cart. It was so easy to get chairs and umbrellas set up with the short walk. The pool is also so close. It made it great walking with 4 young children to both the beach and the pool. The Murphy bed in the main living area was perfect and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Beach Week 2023

We go to Emerald Isle every year with a large group of family and friends. The condo is a little bit of a distance from shopping and errands in Emerald Isle, especially with the traffic on busy weekend days. The property was very clean as described and the beds were very comfortable. It can be noisy if there is someone in the condo above. The view from the deck is below the dunes, so you can’t see the ocean. Overall a nice place and we had a good time.

Great Location

Great location, very clean. Unfortunately, we tried to email the property manager a couple of times prior to our arrival, and we failed to get a response. Other little details like very few bath linens and paper products, we had to go shopping for toilet paper and paper towels. But again, the location of this property was great and it was very comfortable and clean.

Good wine down weekend

Property was very nice. This was a good thing because it rained most of our time there. But we still had a great time. The place has everything, including a washer and dryer, and all the chairs and umbrellas and other beach stuff to go sit on the beach.

Great beach condo

We enjoyed our stay at this oceanfront condo. The two bedroom, two bath condo was clean and nicely furnished. The king size bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped--something that is quite variable in Emerald Isle condo's (e.g., had a rental company tell me I should have brought my own hot pads for cooking at another condo!). Lots of thoughtful touches here, such as phone chargers in multiple rooms; books and magazines to browse through; ample supplies of paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, and Keurig pods; and liquid hand soap at every sink. The generous supplies meant we didn't need to run out to resupply in the middle of our stay. I also appreciated the one-step check-in and check-out processes. All we needed to do was enter the door code at check-in time, no extra stop to pick up keys. The 11 AM check out time was later than many other rentals which made the last morning less hectic. We had one glitch (hence four stars overall). The refrigerator was not fully working. The owners were very responsive. It was an issue they'd already attended to and had been told was fixed, but the problem had been misdiagnosed. They really tried to get the refrigerator fixed or replaced immediately--it just wasn't possible over a holiday weekend. Ultimately, the owners refunded some of the rental cost and helped us problem solve keeping items cold while we were there. To the extent possible given circumstances out of their control, the owners made sure we were satisfied and comfortable, and were good communicators as we worked through this. The repair was scheduled for shortly after we departed, so it is unlikely any other renter will have problems. The unit is on the first floor. There is only a half flight of stairs to climb from the parking lot which is great for unpacking compared to upper level units. Only downside to first floor was occasional footsteps heard from above. Plenty of parking close to unit and the location feels very private. All in all, a nice place for a beach getaway!
