Great Thanksgiving Stay w/Family

My family and I (Wife, Dog, and Both sets of Parents) rented Mary Ann and Scotts beach house for Thanksgiving this year. We had a wonderful time celebrating the holiday all together under the same roof in Emerald Isle. The house was perfect and had all the items we needed to celebrate our Thanksgiving. Plenty of space for everyone and convenient access to the beach (right across the street). We would highly recommend this property for your family vacation during the holiday or just a trip to Emerald Isle in general.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ann & Scott

Host profile image
After living in San Francisco, Florida and Guam (all Coast Guard moves), we set up roots in Western Loudoun, VA near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We've been enjoying Western Loudoun's rolling countryside that boasts of wineries, horse farms and historic estates for over 17 years. Having a place at the beach is a blessing & a welcome change of scenery.
We've visited many beaches. Emerald Isle is one of the nicest with 12 miles of pristine shoreline. It has a small town feel yet has many activities to enjoy - fishing, kayaking, surfing, swimming, kite flying, paddle boarding, golf in nearby towns & many more.
We'd like to share Emerald Isle's little island charm with you, our guest.

Why they chose this property

-Fabulous ocean views & sound of the sea from the two-level deck & the main living area.
-Two beach accesses right across the street. One with a wooden ramp with steps to the beach & the other is on a flat, shaded sandy trail under the trees.
In a quiet residential area but only 3 miles to highly rated restaurants, retail shops, two supermarkets: Publix & Food Lion.


What makes this property unique

Fantastic location.
In a very quiet street. Yet less than 3 miles to shopping & top rated restaurants.
Watching the sunrise & sunset from the top deck.
Seeing & hearing the ocean.
Emerald Isle is also an anglers' paradise for fall fishing aside from a variety of water activities.
Visit nearby historic towns such as Swansboro, Beaufort, New Bern, Fort Macon State Park & more.
