Beautiful and Central

We loved this property and our stay. Just as described, clean and neat. Walking distance to the beach and some of the best little restaurants in Emeral Isle. GREAT COMMUNICATION! I contacted the property manager at 6am after having to leave another rental due to lack of AC, and she not only answerd my text right away, but also made arrangements for us to check-in early (within hours) that same day She's an angel from heaven, Thanks to her, we're able to finish enjoying our vacation. I would not want to stay anywhere else in the future!

Great quiet spot at Emerald Isle.

Property is almost brand new and very clean. Check in was super easy. There was a ton of space for the price. Outdoor shower, lots of beach towels, and a huge master bath shower. One of the nicer Vrbo beach properties I’ve stayed at. Hosts were very helpful with suggestions for things to do in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Knox Bookout

Host profile image
We moved to Emerald Isle in 2019 and that was the best decision we've made. We love the island and the people. We are just a few streets down from the property, so if there are any issues we will be able to address them right away.

Why they chose this property

This home is in the perfect sound side location. It's on a quiet street that is located walking distance to shops and restaurants. The private beach parking lot is a huge perk because parking at the beach is typically very limited. Our parking lot is just across Emerald Drive from the home. We have multiple showers at the parking lot as well. It is just a 5 minute walk to the sound side pier as well. We also just installed a large outdoor shower with Trex decking in June of 2022.

What makes this property unique

The home has an open floor plan with plenty of space to spread out. All linens are provided.
