Relaxing COVID getaway

We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Debby and Charlie's home on Emerald Isle. It was the perfect place to get away during COVID. The uncrowded beach made it easy to enjoy the sun and sand, and the home is very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this property and the responsive hosts.

Relaxation & recharging is key for so many right now. We are glad your family came & enjoyed the beauty of our Emerald Isle-it’s all around & centered right out the back door. Just watching & listening to the ocean waves is so therapeutic. Our location is great for conveniences as well. We’re close to grocery stores (with delivery service) as well as unique family owned restaurants with take-out - it’s such a treat to eat out on the decks! Thank you for being our guests- you are welcome back anytime!

40th Birthday!!

We stayed at this gorgeous residence for my wife's 40th Birthday. The house was amazing. Her best friends were able to accompany us and it turned out to be better than we imagined. The home is absolutely perfect for a week-long getaway. Debby was extremely easy to communicate with and even made brownies for my wife to enjoy upon checking in.

Family vacation

We had a lovely family vacation at this beautiful home. The house is centrally located on the island, easily within walking distance of shopping and dining. Right on the beach, perfect for a quick trip back if a small person forgot a toy or needed a snack. When packing for your trip, just bring yourself, your bathing suit, and a towel. The house has everything else you'll need! Thank you for having us!

Oceanfront gem

Non-commercial area; we felt like we had our own private beach. The view was spectacular! Convenient to shopping, restaurants and extracurricular activities. Kids enjoyed the ocean and collected quite a haul of pretty seashells. Fishing off the pier was great fun. Debby was easy to reach and responded promptly to our inquiries. Treasured memories!

Great Week. Wonderful Hostess

We had a great week at the beach. The location was perfect. Lots of small & personal touches made this stay wonderful. (Brownies were amazing!) Debby was wonderful to work with and super quick to respond to any messages I sent. The only con I’d list would be the decking has some nail pops and is tough on bare feet...so just keep your flops on the deck. Would definitely recommend & return.

This is the first time we have visited Emerald Isle. The entire vacation was perfect. The house, which was just as described, was beautiful. It was extremely clean and everything needed for our trip was supplied. Debby, the host was very helpful. She told us about the house, the area and good places to eat. We had a blast.

4th of July vacation

Great house. Has everything from beach chairs and umbrellas to kids toys and plates/cookware. Everyone’s had multiple pillows and covers. House was a bit sandy but that’s expected of a beach house. One of the pull out sofa was broken but the owner even gave us a discount. Overall 10/10

Fun reunion with friends

We have nothing but good things to say about this vacation home. We were 3 couples with 4 young children meeting up from different states to enjoy a long weekend together. The owners were helpful in making our somewhat last minute decision come together. The house was plenty big for us and the pictures on the site are every accurate of what the house looks likes. The furnishings are nicer than most beach rentals and the quality of bed linens, towels far superior to what rental companies would provide. The kitchen is very well equipped.....we never lacked a dish or glass, even with 10 people using them. The house is in a great location on the island, very close to shopping, but far enough to feel secluded. The views are amazing. We truly hope to return!

Wonderful property and owner!

Our family/ friend group rented both East and West sides of this property the same week so that we could all vacation together at Emerald Isle, our absolute favorite beach spot! This arrangement suited our needs perfectly for our group of adults, young adults and 3 children 5 and under. Property was clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals each night. Short boardwalk to beach is perfect and this area of beach was very uncrowded. Sunrises and sunsets are visible from the porch which is amazing! Debby, the owner was amazing to work with and very responsive both before and during our stay and even greeted us when we arrived with a tour of the property. If I could give this property more stars, I would. We had an amazing vacation and made memories to last a lifetime!

Great house for family vacation

This was a great house! We had the grandkids (5 & 8 yrs old), our grown kids, and us (7 people total). The house was exactly as described. Our host was great with communications and check in/out. All appliances worked perfectly, furniture and beds were very comfortable, and everything was clean when we checked in. On day one the hot water heater started leaking; we called the host, and it was repaired that same day while we were away so no issue at all…very responsive. View from upper floors was spectacular. A/C worked great and kept the house very cool even though it was +93F all week. We would definately rent this house again…just wish it had an elevator. Thanks for a great family vacation and memories!
