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!
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.
A beautiful place at a great location with gracious hosts. Bring all your needed amenities for the bedroom, kitchen, and beach.

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.

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!

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

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.

Thanks for the awesome review! Like so many of our guests, you both take such great care of our condo, and appreciate our place so it makes our job so much easier. We really appreciate the great communication, that also helps us.
Hope to see you next year - Debbie and 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.

Bernie and Debbie,
Thank you so much for allowing us to use your rental. We enjoyed out stay and got a much needed rest. What an amazing place you all have, and Pebble Beach was great.

This has been our best stay in our 30 years plus coming to Emerald Isle. It was only steps away from the ocean, gym, gazebos, pools(indoor/outdoor), and tennis courts.

We are so glad you noticed the new furniture; we try to upgrade things each year. We are going to miss you both! Whomever gets you 2 too stay with them are beneficiaries of 2 of our best customers.
Enjoy the rest of this banner summer – 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 😌

My husband and I loved EVERYTHING about this condo. Easy access to the pool, beach, grocery stores, restaurants, and shops also made this trip an A experience. The hosts were available at any time in case we had a problem or questions. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 August 2021
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
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!
