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.

This property is well maintained and very attractive inside and out. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen has a wonderful array of cooking accessories, which is important to us, because we like to cook even when on vacation. The hosts have thoughtfully labeled drawers and cupboards in the kitchen, so you don't have to hunt all over for basics, like strainers or measuring cups. The location is good, too. You are only about 1 block from the beach (an easy walk), and the hosts provide essentials, including beach chairs and umbrellas. The property is also close to restaurants, shopping and points of interest, such as Pine Knolls aquarium and Ft. Macon.Best of all, I found the host to be very gracious, responsive and communicative. He made helpful suggestions about where to eat and what to see in the area. He answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. He has detailed, helpful instructions about house rules, WiFi use, etc. This host and this property are a gem!

We enjoyed our stay at the Holla Daze Beach Cottage. The house is great. Totally clean and everything works with no short cuts. And the owners are extremely both friendly and responsive. We could not have had a better experience. Emerald Isle is a wonderful Christmas getaway. Close to a wonderful beach and nice and quiet here off season. This can 100% be recommended.

Great house for both humans and their furbabies.

We loved our comfortable and convinient stay at Holla Daze. The house was spotless and filled with everything one would need away from home. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch, and the walk to the beach only took a few minutes. We would highly recommend staying at this lovely home.

56th year in Emerald Isle.

Holla-Daze is wonderfully comfortable cottage. One of the most well equipped places we’ve ever stayed…from the kitchen to the bathrooms to laundry, beach toys, bikes & stuff for the dog…everything we needed was there! John our host was available, attentive & a joy to work with.

Definitely recommend this rental, loved the fact that it was pet friendly also. We will be back in the future.

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.
