Thank You Rose & John,
We really try to take care of our unit and renters that leave our place the way you did makes it easier to rent our place to others.
We are so glad to be a part of your vacation – Debbie & Bernie
We had a great stay at this rental. It was exactly as described and the ground floor location made it super convenient for packing/unpacking and trips to the beach. The owners are very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
The condo was in a great location, it was clean, and there was a lot of space for two people. The walk to the beach took us about 4 to 5 minutes. We had an awesome vacation in Emerald Isle!

Thank you for letting us be part of your 2025 vacation!
We absolutely loved this place. It was clean and cozy. The condo was decorated nicely and we loved the lanai. This was our first time at Emerald Isle and we will definitely be back-we would rebook this place in a heartbeat.
We have stayed in this condo before and were delighted to be able to stay again. Bernie and Debra are great host. The condo is clean and neat. It is a short walk to the beach, but we dont mind. Restaurants and stores are close by. Gaffer's is so convenient. We recommend this VBRO!Joe and Gail

Thanks for noticing how nice and well kept our condo is. It's good you mentioned that you need to bring your own linens; There is someone each year that misses the first thing on our list of important things to know. "Linens are not provided"
Many rentals include linens, but most all of them have extra charges for linens, cleaning... We have no extra charges, and found many of our renters prefer that savings.
This is a beautiful, clean, updated condo on beautiful Emerald Isle, NC.
Great place to spend time relaxing and enjoying all the area has to offer.

This property exceeds the description. There is plenty of space for two, the property is immaculately clean and decorated, and the complex is quiet and well maintained. The owners were easy to communicate with and were quick to respond to every inquiry.

Very easy to rent online. Property was in excellent condition with comfortable furnishings. Only one mile from the large house the rest of our family was renting But it was nice to have our own place to come home to every night.

Thank you for noticing our kitchen, and how comfortable the bed is.
We update something every year or so; The flooring was replaced a couple of years ago, then Covid hit. We have some other things we want to upgrade before replacing the TV, I believe the TV is 5 years old, but rest assure, it will eventually get replaced.
Thank you both for taking such good care of our condo!
Glad to have you back next year – Debbie & Bernie
This was a perfect fit for us. Lower level condo with many upgrades. It is so convenient to the Publix and 15 minutes to about anything on the island. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and less to the pools. Very quiet and peaceful.

The property was very clean and just a short walk from the beach. We had a wonderful week and the beach was not crowded. The owner did state that linens were not included, but be sure to bring necessities like dish towels, dishwasher detergent and toilet paper as well. The condo also does not have any board games, books or cards, ( this may be due to Covid 19), so be sure and bring entertainment for a rainy day. The kitchen was very nice. The only downside to the condo was that the seating in the living room was not very comfortable. We did have a very relaxing week.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 October 2020
Thanks Lauren & Craig for noticing how clean and nice our condo is, along with how close we are to that wonderful Emerald Isle Beach. We have been vacationing for 25 years and whenever someone has stated linens are not included, that included no dish towels, “remember we don’t charge a cleaning fee”. Also, in 25 years we have never had dishwasher detergent and toilet paper supplied by the owner.
We are glad you wonderful week, and although we have had all 5 stars up to your review we will make sure board games and books are in place right after Covid-19 is under control, and will consider replacing our couch, “You’re not wrong, it is not the most comfortable piece of furniture, but is in great shape and goes so well with our décor”.
We are always looking for renters that abide by our guidelines as well as honest input in what we can do better. So, we are glad to be a part of your 2020 Vacation – Bernie & Debbie
We were beyond surprised and overjoyed with this condo! It was incredibly clean and well taken care of. There was a lot of love put into this space and you can tell! The location was perfect. It was close to all the restaurants, stores, and entertainment. The pool and gym were just steps away. The beach was a little far of a walk, especially in the heat, but not too bad! The owners were amazingly accessible and made the entire checkin process an easy and painless experience. We had no issues the entire week. We hope that we get the opportunity to stay here again! If you are looking for an exceptional stay in Emerald Isle, this is the place! You will not be disappointed 😌

Have a great rest of you summer
The condo was very clean and the kitchen was updated and well stocked with all the amenities you would need for your stay. I appreciated having the extra door lock and door wall stick for extra security while you're there. The value was good and the selling point for me was bringing my own linens and not paying the exorbitant fees that many rentals charge for cleaning/linens/owner's fees etc. Thank you Deb and Bernie!
A couple of small suggestions would be to upgrade with some more comfortable furniture, for those rainy days when you want to just lounge around, and a better mattress. I would be willing to pay more per night to have those things.
Also, adding a full length mirror on the back of master bedroom door is one of those small things that make a big difference when you're getting ready to go out to dinner.
The condo was in a good location right over the bridge with easy access to shops and restaurants. Overall, a very enjoyable vacation in a nice condo by the beach.

Thanks for noticing how well our place is taken care of, and that we don’t charge any extra fees like many others do.
We also appreciate the input, especially the full-length mirror idea on the back of master bedroom door. Mattresses on the other hand are very subjective, the only input on the bed has been how comfortable it is.
Enjoy the rest of the summer! – Debbie & Bernie
This condo was all around great! We were a short walk from the beach and pools. The kitchen had everything we needed. The couch is kind of uncomfortable but we were able to sleep well in the bed. The owners were available and very responsive at all times. We enjoyed our week on Emerald Isle so much. Thanks again!

Thank you for staying with us and noticing the way we take care of our condo along with our renter’s inquiries.
May you and your family have a great summer!
After over a year of no travel this was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The condo is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The decor is tastefully done, the bed comfy, the kitchen extremely well equipped, and it is spotlessly clean. The entire development is very clean. This unit is a longer walk to the beach for two seniors carry all our stuff. We drove our car closer to the walkway which worked just fine, plenty of parking. The owners were responsive to questions and made renting very easy. The screened in porch is a plus. A great place to sip on your wine away from any bugs.
