Perfect Pink Gem

Great stay at the pink house! Location was perfect! The short walk to the beach was easy and quick. The amenities were great! Grandson loved the pirate ship and bunk bed. We had a cute cardinal bird couple visit us every morning. The weather was perfect and furniture comfy. This house has everything needed for the most perfect vacay. We will be back!

The perfect beach stay

We had a great stay at Coral Cay. The host thought of everything for our stay- sand toys, chairs, wagon, umbrellas, lawn games, bikes, and the best part for the kids was the pirate play set! It was definitely a vacation to remember!

This is our third visit to your property, obviously we like staying. This time, however, there were a couple of minor issues. There was no salt and pepper. The coffee selection was sparse and not up to previous visits. We had to buy batteries for the TV remotes, (the same for salt and pepper). And adding a broiler pan to the oven would offer more cooking options. Each of these were minor issues and will not prevent us from staying for future visits. You do have a nice property.

Perfect Spot for Families with Young Kids

Our family of four had a blast on our beach trip! The welcome bucket was a beautiful touch and correspondence with the property contact was great for tips on local things to do (such as visit the Point for seashell hunting). The place was very clean, and we appreciated having a pack and play and high chair provided as it made our packing a little more convenient! Would definitely stay again.

Fall Break Beach Visit

First time visit to Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast. The house was the perfect location for beach access. Easy communication and cleanliness was outstanding. Our daughter enjoyed the pirate ship playground along with the access trail to the beach behind the house. Would definitely return to Coral Cay again.

Adorable family friendly home

We loved this property so much that if the owner ever wanted to sell we would buy it! Coral Cay, is in the perfect location, clean and very comfortable. I loved the little beach and shovel basket with a bottle of wine and popcorn with a beautiful hand written note welcoming us. The manager of the property was so accommodating and the owner was so a pleasure to speak with.

Just Perfect

The location and house was just absolutely perfect. The house was so clean and accurate to the pictures advertised. We had lovely walks with the children to the beach even though it was chilly. The children also enjoyed the pirate play-set. We were so busy building Lego, puzzles and playing board games we barely used the internet. It was our best Christmas yet!

Fun for all without even leaving the house/beach!

We enjoyed this property with our children and grandchildren. There was so much to do for the two three year olds each morning and evening before and after our beach trips. Playground, ping pong, badminton, super long driveway where they rode bikes. We rode the adult bikes, played cornhole, grilled out, etc. we also took our fishing poles and went fishing one evening. It was just great! Clean, cozy, everything we needed and wanted for a quick long weekend getaway. Will definitely be back!

Quick getaway

Very nice home, great location, short walk to beach. One thing that was a little frustrating was the water pressure in the master shower was very low. We also changed the air filter because the thermostat was saying “filter”. We looked at it and it was so clogged and nasty. We ended up grabbing a new filter at Ace hardware and changing it.

Convenient

Location was convenient to local activities and restaurants. Bathroom in master bedroom was extremely small. The shower was nearly unusable. My husband was unable to use the shower because the shower head blocked his access. There isn’t enough room to turn around or bend down in the shower. People above 5’7 or those of heavier stature may not be able to use the shower. Also in order to close the bathroom door you have to walk to the sink then turn around and close the door. The house is well furnished.
