Excellent stay! We are so happy to stay in the most beautiful home. Our family felt so welcome and made our stay the most memorable and the most enjoyable. The host is very gracious and thoughtful. They provided us with all the things that we may need for a wonderful beach vacation. Highly recommended!
The house was nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay from beach chairs and shade to the kitchen. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We'll definitely rent again.
This place is amazing! The house is spacious and well appointed, the huge back deck was wonderful to sit and take in the view. The beach is a 2 min stroll through the dunes, so fun, then you emerge onto the expanse of sand that is the beach (HUGE) which we had essentially entirely to ourselves. It was just a couple of nights but it felt longer, we were able to really relax and leave it all behind. We are already planing to come back in the Summer for a full week. Such a great vibe!
Our family spent 5 nights at the property in the end of August. We were welcomed by a colorful facade and the back doors opened to the great outdoors. Deer, bunnies, squirrels among the fire pit and all a view from the sprawling back porch. Beyond the backyard were the dunes which led to the gorgeous beaches of Emerald Isle. This oceanfront property allowed us to be spoiled and still feel at home. It came with every amenity, when you’re normally worrying about bringing ziplocs and paper towels, it was stocked with everything from a salad spinner to keurig pods and margarita glasses. The bathrooms and bedrooms were comfortable and homey, updated and had a fun beach feel. The closets were spacious and kid’s room a relaxing retreat with 2 full beds bunked for extra space to play with their stocked puzzles and toys. Beds were comfortable and extra blankets were provided. The place has just recently been renovated, and the cleaning was wonderful. We usually have to wipe and pre-clean, but this has been thoughtfully prepared in every way. Spacious and light, allows for big meals and late nights on the back swing ! Thank you for this end of summer retreat!
We live in North Carolina and our family loves Carolina beaches, especially Emerald Isle. Moonlit Dunes is a dream come true for us and we are excited to share it with our guests and hope they love and appreciate the magicalness we've experienced at this property.
Why they chose this property
The Point of EI is amazing. The beach is never crowded and it's the widest beach we've ever seen. Fishing is a favorite past time and The Point is well known for it. Due to the lack of public access and no commercial buildings The Point is an extra special place with magical sunsets, star gazing opportunities and if you're lucky you may even encounter a sea turtle laying eggs up on the sand at night (but do not disturb them!)
What makes this property unique
The back porch is very large (16'x60') and the overhang provides sun throughout the whole day while you’re gazing out at the ocean. The backyard is surrounded by trees and provides privacy like no other beach house we've ever been to. Coming back from the beach for some pool time and/or an outdoor shower is pure relaxation. Opening the backyard gate and taking the path through the dunes is an adventure adults and kids love and the "money shot" when you arrive at the beach is exciting every time! There is a Contemplation Bench on the pathway overlooking the ocean that brings serenity to all who sit there. The Fisherman's Sink makes it easy to clean your catch before grilling it on the BBQ. The outdoor shower is wonderful after a day at the beach or when you're done poolside. The well equipped kitchen makes your stay easy to cook for your group.
