If you are looking for a bare bones rental on a beautiful beach, this might be for you. For our family, this unit was not on par with the standard we have come to expect vacationing in this area. Reviews on VRBO were misleading.
Pros:
Communication and check in with property managers was easy and efficient. They were responsive to our concerns (see below). Location is great, walkable to many restaurants, shops, etc. Emerald Isle itself is clean, no trouble getting an elevator except on Saturday afternoon when rentals were switching over. Beach is beautiful, easy access to beach. Chair rental company employees were great.
Cons:
Unit is very dated and not up to cleanliness standards. Evidence that it had not been thoroughly cleaned after last guests apparent in several places. Sliding door to patio had a broken seal which made it difficult to open and very loud. Property management came and attempted to fix it but problem persisted. Dishwasher leaked all over kitchen floor. Multiple lightbulbs burnt out (again, we complained and they were then replaced). Beds were small and uncomfortable. Patio furniture also dated and uncomfortable. Couch pillows dirty. This is a bare bones rental. If you are used to staying in places with a few extras, this isn’t for you. Didn’t even have salt/pepper, coffee filters, hairdryer, etc.
