About this property

Family & Dog Friendly Oceanfront

'Carolina Dawn' is a comfortably furnished and fully equipped oceanfront duplex (East side). Just steps from the beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of Emerald Isle, this is one of the most family friendly beaches in the Southeast. This lovely home sleeps 11 people and is equipped with free wifi and cable tv. There are 2 oceanfront primary suites with king-sized beds, bathrooms and private decks. A third oceanfront room has a queen-sized bed and oceanfront deck. The two other rooms offer views of the sound. One has a queen sized bed. The other has a full sized bed and a twin bed - perfect for kids. The updated kitchen is fully stocked and offers a great view of the ocean as you cook. The dining room table seats 8 and the oversized bar seats 4. There's a charcoal grill along with an assortment of boogie boards, sand toys and more. A private, spray off area and outdoor shower (with hot & cold water and a hand-held shower head) make clean-up easy. Up to two well-behaved dogs (depending on size, breed) are welcome with a $150 non-refundable deposit. Other amenities include flat screen "smart" TVs, DVD players.

Weekend Getaway

We spent a weekend at Emerald Isle and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Amy's place! She was communicative, provided great recommendations, and was accommodating. It was a great place for a family with toddlers a the aquarium is close by, oceanfront, many rooms, and close to restaurants, shops, etc. We hope to come back soon!

Wonderful stay!

We came to the beach for a weekend to celebrate my spouse’s 50th birthday and had a wonderful time! You cannot beat the location of the house - literally steps from the ocean - and the duplex was super spacious and well appointed! We got in later than expected due to work, and Amy was so kind to let us check out a little later. We’ll be back again!

PERFECT!

The home was beautiful, the view and access to the beach was amazing. Communicating with Amy was so easy and quick. Plenty of little amenities that make the stay convenient without having to go back out to stock up. Amy passed local information that definitely made a difference in our time there.

Annual friends for R&R

The kitchen had everything we need! Very well stocked. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, etc. Amy (owner) is very responsive to any needs (it is NOT likely that you will need anything). Comfortable bedroom and adequate seating in living area. We'll be renting from her again!

This is our second stay this property. We always find it had to leave. The home is very comfortable and the views from the back patios cannot be beat. The beach behind the property is empty and beautiful.

Really lovely place!

Excellent stay from start to finish. Because we were doing a big thanksgiving dinner at the beach house, we were worried that the kitchen might not be as well appointed as we needed. We were pleasantly surprised! Everything was clean and in good condition. The owner, Amy was responsive when we had questions. Highly recommended!

First Stay in Emerald Isle

The house was very dirty and run down. Walls are stained. Windows had smudge marks everywhere. One of the showers was clogged with hair. Manager sent handyman without asking us first. Was not worth the price. Would NOT stay again.

This property fit our needs perfectly. We had 8 stay with us, from age 18-83 (three generations). The rest of our family met us at a restaurant for a celebratory luncheon to honor five family birthdays in March. We would love to stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this location, seeing the aquamarine waters crash on the white sandy beaches on a beautiful day. The home is spacious enough to allow family and friends to spread out while offering enough space for everyone to gather together.
