About this property

Ocean view family cottage, just steps from the sea and close to everything.

Warm cozy 3 bedroom beach house only 130 yards to the beach. Great beach house with peekaboo views of the ocean from the house, deck or even the dinning room table. Great Emerald Isle location. Just minutes from restaurants, grocery and stores. Let us invite you to enjoy walks on the beach or just sitting in a beach chair enjoying all the Atlantic has to offer. Enjoy the bike path that sits next to the house or the secluded backyard surrounded by live oaks.
Take off down the island using the beach bikes, and running stroller or make a day of it at the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas provided. This house is pet and kid friendly so we provide pack and play, running stroller, dog bowls and poop bags. We try to make it easy.

Super Vacation Spot!

Loved the location, very private, short walk to the beach. The home was clean and well stocked with nice dishes, pots and pans. Appliances were super nice too. Loved the screened in porch and deck. Definitely recommend this rental, loved the fact that it was pet friendly also. We will be back in the future.

A very comfortable stay

The family and I enjoyed our stay. The location was a nice short walk to the beach with children. The house was very comfortable, clean, and relaxing. If traveling with older folks the bedroom on the main level is great, plus it is next to a bathroom for ease of access. The family and I enjoyed all the little amenities that made this location very welcoming. From sunblock, to laundry detergent, to beach chairs, to a guest netflix account. I always enjoy the simple things that are not expected to be provided. The security access to enter the house was very simple. I enjoyed the communication with the owner and was attentive to my last minute pet request. Overall I am not much of beach person. Yet a nice place like this makes me ponder on sticking around and enjoying more of the beach life. It is also another reason I like Emerald Isle, it doesn't feel touristy. Thanks John for helping make a nice vacation great.

Wonderful Home on Emerald Isle, Close to beach

Great beach house on Emerald Isle, NC. Just a block to the beach. House had everything you could ask for... even phone charger pad in the master bedroom. Kitchen was fully stocked. Trash bags, dishwashing detergent, all there. Nice to not worry about having to bring it all with us. Toilet paper, paper towels... all there. We used and replaced with some we brought. A storage unit underneath house had plenty of beach toys, bikes to use, etc. Deck was nice to sit on during the evening or early morning. Road noise was loud at times but we were fine with it. House was clean and in good shape. Nothing to have issue with really. The beach is awesome (of course!). Not too crowded at this location. Close to everything and the owners give out a fantastic guide with all the info. you could want. Great vacation.

Lots of Amenities

This place offers lots of extras so really good for folks who don't have beach paraphenalia or are flying in, etc. They have beach chairs, beach cart, boogie boards, beach tent, jogging stroller, kiddie pool, box fan and standing fan, dog shampoo, dog leash and poop bags, gates for corralling kids or animals inside or on the deck, lots of puzzles, assorted games, tons of mugs, glasses for all occasions, blender, mixers, books, videos, laundry hampers, etc. Things are stashed in closets, drawers and shelves. Just keep looking! The walk to the beach is super short (slight uphill grading FYI to return to house), lots of parking, the outdoor hose and shower are awesome (would loved to have had a downstairs toilet though as we always returned back to the house in need and had to take time to clean off or wait for shower before going into the house!). A little bit of road noise but hardly noticeable in the house. The outdoor deck has lots of seating and sunshine (some shaded areas depending on the time of day) which was nice. Water is ok. A bit "beachy", even when filtered. Definitely drinkable and fine for brushing teeth, but may want to buy some water if you really like to drink water plain. The only negatives we found were: 1) there is not a lot of storage for food items as the pantry and cabinets are already pretty full; 2) some of the dishes/pots/pans didn't seem completely clean. Some of that is the hard water marks I think, and don't think cleaning service can be blamed...more likely the folks who used them last; 3) the thermostat is a bit tricky to figure out and navigate. All in all we had a great week and would recommend this place. It isn't modern or minimalist, but it definitely met all of our needs and was quite comfortable. The host is very responsive to messages and seems very nice. We didn't have any issues that needed to be addressed during our week there.

WOW what a great find. This house was amazing. It is a cute, clean, eclectic home. It is so well stocked with ALL the items you will need, from kitchen furnishings to beach gear. The property was so clean and came with items I never imagined a property owner would provide. The front deck is perfect for enjoying morning coffee, and the screened-in porch is ideal for savoring late-night drinks without bugs. If you've ever rented from one of the Realty Agencies and then stayed at this home, you will NEVER go back. Can not tell you how many years I have been disappointed by other rentals. Our stay here was just PERFECT!I look forward to returning in 2026.

A little bit of paradise!

Our week at Holla Daze was perfect in every way. The house was comfortable and beautifully decorated for the beach and had every possible amenity. Mornings with coffee on the screen porch, early afternoons reading on the deck, and yummy dinners and quiet evenings doing jigsaw puzzles at the dining table. The location was just a short walk to the beach where we took our dog every morning and ourselves each late afternoon. It was great to have beach chairs and towels available so we didn't have to pack them. Our hosts thought of nearly everything we could possibly need, helping us to have the relaxing vacation we needed. This was our first trip to Emerald Isle, but hopefully not our last. When we return, we would love to stay here again. Thanks Holla family!

Great Extras!

Love the location, being so close to the beach access and good streets/path for dog walking. Beach is uncrowded and pup friendly! Enjoy sitting on the front porch, seeing a glimpse of the ocean. Traffic noise on the main road is not bad. Lovely trees and gardens surrounding and on the property. Appreciate the extras, including beach chairs, bikes and a nice outdoor shower.

WONDERFUL !!!

Can't speak highly enough about this property. While nothing real fancy it was very well maintained, well furnished, well stocked with everything you would need, well decorated (including some nice original artwork), well laid out, well situated (very short walk to beach and only 3 miles to town and shopping / restaurants ). Lot's of games, videos, puzzles, books, beach equipment, bikes, etc. Couldn't have been more cozy and comfortable (stayed in January during a storm and it was warm, snug and secure). It was just my wife and I, but would easily accommodate a larger group with the 2 nice bedrooms and full bath upstairs in addition to the bedroom and full bath on the main floor. Nice front deck, screened porched with nice seating and lower level covered outdoor seating, so plenty of room to spread out. Will very likely find ourselves staying here again in the future.

Calm before the wedding

This sweet house was the perfect place to spend time with our kids before our son's wedding! We were able to relax and have room to spread out while being around the corner from the wedding beach house. The house was centrally located to everything we needed and the kitchen was the perfect size to cook for our large family. It truly felt like home away from home. We loved the decor in each room; it was just just our style and made it easy to settle in. Thank you for your hospitality and the thought you put in to provide for your guests. ( And my husband agrees the shower outside is the best in the house!)
