This is a great dog friendly property right on the beach! Kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. I wish the first floor balcony had closures so that a dog could be on that balcony. It looks like there used to be some. The gate we brought was not wide enough. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again:

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The views are lovely. The home is far enough from the shops and entertainment that it's nice and quiet but still just ten minutes to everything in Emerald Isle. Loved having our own private beach access.
