About this property
Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point
This classic beach cottage is located just one block from the beach and Bogue Inlet. Being so close (3min walk) allows for a convenient stroll to splash and tan ocean side or catch world class red drum while fishing the Bogue Inlet!
From the moment you arrive at this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home it immediately evokes memories of the charming original beach cottages of Emerald Isle. The open floor plan kitchen/dining/living area is where most time is spent when not on the beach and it allows for a great place to gather and entertain friends and family. With two decks and plenty of covered space underneath you can easily move things outside, especially when the "Party Lights" are on downstairs! Dogs under 50 pounds are welcome guests with a pet fee. Bed linens and bath towels are included for up to 10 people so all you need to bring are your beach towels!
The Primary Suite has a queen size bed and its own private bathroom with shower. The Bunk Room has a pair of twin over full bunks which make this room a cozy and fun kids' space. The Queen Room has a queen size bed with lots of warm natural lighting. The hall bath has a full size tub but most folks prefer to use the outdoor shower after a long day of fun and sun! Books, games, TVs with cable, Roku, and a DVD player mean that even rainy days at the beach can be entertaining! Washer and dryer are included as is a charcoal grill so you can have the amenities of home while on vacation.
The Point is the area at the end of Coast Guard Rd. known for its quiet neighborhood feel. Since the beach faces south, there is plenty of sun all day and you can watch the sunset over the water at Bogue Inlet in the evening!
In addition to your beach chair, bring your bikes and ride the elaborate Emerald Isle bike path all over the island to find fun shops and restaurants. We love all of our beach buds and look forward meeting you!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Matt and Hilary

Originally from Raleigh, NC we both grew up loving the beach and as a couple have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world but have the most fun when we keep things local. As a career firefighter and clinical researcher our schedules are not typical but always allow for plenty of time to find fun adventures!
Why they chose this property
While visiting family in 2017 we came across this home and after a quick walk through we were in love! We jumped at the opportunity to make this our place to relax and bring our dogs, Teddy and Sandy, as often as possible. Since then we have gotten engaged and married here at The Watson House just down Coast Guard Rd. so the name "Prior Engagement" was an easy choice. This is such a special place to us and we are glad to be able to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
Our favorite part of this property is that it provides lots of entertaining space and room for people. Coming from big families we usually gather around food, so we enjoy the kitchen/ living area and the open space underneath the most, especially when the "Party Lights" are on! Being able to quickly walk to the beach but not be in the main flow of traffic means there is privacy while also getting the best access to the area.
