The property was just as photographed. Super close to the beach which we loved! It was larger and more open than we thought too. We would definitely stay there again!
Very comfortable and welcoming home! Best stocked kitchen I’ve seen in a rental! Cozy bedrooms with lots of room to relax and enjoy. Great location in a quiet neighborhood and very close to shopping and yummy restaurants.
House was awesome. Had a couple of issues but, Jim the PM got right back to me and it fixed quickly… Beach chairs, wagon, and gas grill all were used and nice to have. Definitely would stay there again next time we go to the Emerald Isle area!!!!
The home is charming, clean and the beds are comfortable. The beach is a short walk away. The entire process was easy and the owners are very nice to work with. Will definitely be coming back to this place. Thank you for a lovely getaway.
House was perfect for our family. Room for three boys 8 and younger to run around outside and also a easy walk to the beach. DVD selection was also a plus for some family movie night's 😃. Perfect vacation.
We had a great stay! House is very comfortable, spacious, and accommodating. EASY walk to the beach, close to the bike trail and town shopping. Owner is a great communicator, and the property manager is very responsive and hospitable as well. Great property for our family’s long holiday weekend!
The cottage is in an ideal location: family oriented and quiet with easy access to a quiet part of the beach. Local shops, grocery stores and theater are a 5 minute walk away. This rental answered all of our needs
Our stay at the cottage was amazing. So cozy and relaxing. The walk to the beach is easy the house was clean and the owner and property manager communicated well. We can’t wait to come back and stay. Our family enjoyed this property.
The location was amazing, the house was perfect. What a beautiful place to visit and it was so relaxing to just hear the waves from the porch while drinking my morning coffee. It was only a short walk away to get to the beach. We had plenty of room for our family of 5. Thanks for this great family trip!
Our vacation was amazing and it was due to how well your home was put together. Short walk to the beach, washer and dryer, back patio with a fire pit and chairs/table. This place can easily sleep 9. I cannot say enough wonderful about this VRBO. Jim, the property manager was a peach and super helpful.
I searched for a while for a perfect place for what we were looking for. Peaceful, private, near beach and reasonable. We found the cottage the perfect place! Minutes walk to private beach access, less than mile walk down beach to pier, most comfortable home to relax and regroup. Backyard has fireplace and relaxing atmosphere as well. Love the place, the stay and hope to rebook again next year! Go ahead book it, you won’t be disappointed!
Terrific location within walking distance to beach and shops. Cute property with lovely master suite & very comfy bed. The screened in porch was a great spot for morning coffee. Love having everything on one level and if you have babies/toddlers or seniors with you this is definitely a plus. My only complaint: our vacation was too short!
This was our first time in Emerald Isle and we could not have asked for a better experience. Corrine is a wonderful, responsive host and Jim, the property manager was great! Even brought over an iron and board for us to use.
The house is clean, updated and charming with a very short walk to the beach and everything you need within a short distance. We will definitely be back!!
3 generations (1.5 years to 70) quite comfortably spread out with rooms and beds for every family situation. Very much appreciated the well provisioned kitchen, open one level floor plan with lots of different areas (decks, back garden, screen porch) to gather or retreat to for quiet. Beach an easy walk, putt putt for kids an easy walk, grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, and souvenir shopping all within walking or quick drive.
Thank you for a lovely experience that we look forward to revisiting in the future.
The house is adorable and was perfect for our family of 5. Inside was clean and well-kept. The back yard is cute, but it is a bit overgrown with leaves, ivy, and lots of bugs (ants and spiders), so we didn’t spend any time in the back. Not sure what kind of wildlife (like snakes?) that we would encounter, so we just didn’t go back there to be safe. One morning, there was a beautiful deer in the back yard, which was nice! The house is only a few minutes to walk to the beach, which is beautiful! Overall, we had a great stay, and we would definitely stay there again.
Well appointed property that had everything we needed and more. Clean and welcoming! Thanksgiving meal prep and celebration was a breeze as the kitchen is well equipped. All rooms are a good size and very comfortable. Bathrooms are beautiful with each having a skylight, lovely tile work and countertops. The master suite is beautiful and a nice place to unwind. Wonderful back courtyard with in ground fire pit. Enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Given the opportunity, we would definitely visit again. Great accommodations and close to everything "to do" on the island including shopping and the beach. Simply wonderful!
Corinne, We had a wonderful week at your home in Emerald Isle. The location was excellent with a very short walk to the beach and the home was clean and spacious with plenty of room for the whole family. The location also offered easy access for my son and daughter at Camp Lejeune and Fort Bragg. Everyone had pkenty of space in the 4 bedrooms and annd we all loved the huge shower in the Master with all the shower heads!! Your manager on the scene, Jimmy, was readily available if needed, extremely friendly and pleasant. We look forward to going back again next year! Thank you!!
This is our second year staying with our kids and grandkids. We most like that it' is only 3-4 steps to getting into the house and everything is on one floor. - important for my husband who hates steps.
The location is a very short (low traffic) walk to the beach. A beach wagon is available to carry your gear. Speaking of beach gear, there is a closet full of beach chairs and water toys. Also, on the beach, the Bogue Island Pier is only a 15-20 minute walk.
Out back is a nice outdoor hot/cold water shower that is fully enclosed for privacy. Attached hose is good for feet washing and cleaning sandy chairs and toys.
We find the house very comfortable. The furnishings are nice and comfortable. Quality mattresses, sheets, and towels. The bathrooms and bedrooms were nice. My husband wanted to suggest the addition of a hall tree or something added to the master bedroom to hang his shirts on. There are lots of drawers, however. The kitchen, living room, dining area is a large open space for everyone to gather. The kitchen is well outfitted for us. I would just add an electric griddle. I usually travel with mine since we enjoy pancakes during vacation. There were plenty of kitchen staples available for anything that I forgot to bring. Also, used the card table and chairs for puzzles. We completed 3 during our stay.
The owner was always quick to reply. We made fast friends last year with the property
manager. It was good to see Jim again!
This property was amazing! The house had a great layout and easily accommodated 5 people. There was everything that was needed for the beach. The kitchen was well equipped. I loved that this property was pet friendly as well. Corinne was very responsive to any questions that we had and the property manager was helpful as well. We could hear the waves for the porch and patio. This was an awesome place to stay, thank you Corinne for sharing you vacation home with us.
Great place to stay with kids and grandparents. Having so few steps in and out was great. Walkable to several attractions, stores, and restaurants. Very comfortable and had a great visit.

Our family always dreamed of owning a beach house and now after many years our dream has come true. Our family operates a cattle farm in the Piedmont area of North Carolina and now we feel like we have the best of both worlds; beautiful pasture and wooded land and now a gorgeous beach house. We are pleased to share our little piece of paradise with you.
