Great house and location! Plenty of room, well stocked essentials in kitchen and bathrooms! Loved the “granny suite” downstairs with its own kitchenette and bathroom. Close to grocery stores, shops, and restaurants, some within walking distance! Easy walk to beach was very convenient!
My family has been meeting at Emerald Isle for 25 years and we have stayed at this house for the last two ears. Always a wonderful time for the kids and catching up with family members. Look forward to next year.

So glad that our home has become part of your annual family tradition! We look forward to welcoming you back again next year!
Overall we throughly enjoyed our visit. Only complaint was that the AC downstairs did not cool well. It was pretty hot the whole week.

So sorry that you were not comfortable downstairs! Did you use the remote to adjust the thermostat? If we had known that you were having issues, we would have had our HVAC folks come to fix it. Thanks for alerting us so we can make sure our next guests are comfortable.
We loved being near everything. We rented golf cart. We will be back next year. Enjoyed sitting on the porch. Very close to beach. We cooked breakfast every morning. Thanks!

Relaxing week
Pleasant surprise to find food items in pantry and we thoroughly enjoyed many hours on the screened in porch.The accent lighting in the sunroom was also charming.The blackout curtains were especially appreciated.
We have stayed at this location multiple years . The house is wonderful and the location puts everything on the Isle in play. However the hosts and their efforts to ensure a great trip, are what sets this house apart….
Perfect location only a few minutes walking from the beach. Stepping inside for the first time we knew we were in for a good stay. House was well stocked, clean, and felt like home. We would definitely stay again.
Very nice and roomy. enjoyed the beach and local restaurants. second beach trip for our 5yr old and first for her little brother. A memorable stall at Emerald Isle.
This was the 2nd year we have stayed at this property. The location, actual property itself, and communication with the property manager was outstanding. We plan on hopefully staying here for years to come.

So glad that our house is now part of the fun of your annual fishing trip!
Hope to see you again next year!
Great property, great price, great location. We had a bit of trouble checking in but Margaret was very responsive. Property is a 5-10 min walk to the beach, is tastefully decorated and well equipped/stocked. Our family went with another family and had a great time. Would stay there again!
We were provided every possible comfort and convenience! Our only complaint was that the description sounded like it was closer to the beach. There is a 10 minute walk to get there which was a challenge with the little ones. Other than that we were very comfortable.
Perfect location, very clean and spacious with room for everybody. The downstairs quarters were great for my teen son and friend. We did a golf cart for the short drive to the beach as we had a lot of stuff to carry. Beautiful home with cooking utensils, books, games, a grill, festive lights on porch. Great family time!
The house was very cute and spacious. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach which isn’t bad and is nice to have the outside hose & shower. We drove to Beaufort NC a couple times to take a ferry, only a short 40 to 45 minute drive. We did need to contact Margaret once and she was very responsive. We would stay here again.
We rented this beautiful home during our stay in the area to welcome home our son from 7 month deployment. The house was absolutely perfect for our family with plenty of room to just hang out as well as proximity to restaurants, the beach, and grocery stores etc.
It was nice to have the use of beach chairs and sand toys as the weather was so nice while we were there.
Margaret is a great host and was very helpful answering all our questions and gave
recommendations when asked.
We would definitely stay here again if available!

We were happy to have your family enjoy time together at our beach house after your son returned from deployment.
Hope you will come again!
About the host
Hosted by Margaret Sharp
Our family now lives in Goldsboro, NC. We lived in Virginia for over 30 years, but moved for work, and the added benefit of living only 1 1/2 hours from our beach house!
Why they chose this property
We have vacationed on Emerald Isle for over 25 years. My husband and I were married on the island in 1998. For years we dreamed of owning a beach house at Emerald Isle, and in 2012 we were able to make that dream become a reality!
What makes this property unique
We chose this cottage because it felt like a real beach house, not a house that just happened to be built at the beach. It is open and bright, with a great floor plan for hanging out. The house was built in the 1970's and was renovated by the previous owners. We have continued to update the cottage with new appliances, flooring, heat pump, the outside shower and dressing area, adding on the screened in porch, new windows and siding.
We were able to meet the original owners a few years ago, when they drove by to see the house. The elderly woman and her daughter were pleased to see that "their" house was being lovingly cared for and enjoyed.
