Thanksgiving at Linda's Lanai East

This is an excellent property for families to enjoy some time at very beautiful Emerald Isle. Check in was extremely easy and our host Jody was very responsive to questions we had during our stay. The location is within 10 minutes of whatever you may need - grocery stores (2) and restaurants. The Dollar General is right around the block for quick trips. The property had everything we needed for our week stay during Thanksgiving.

Amazing find, right on the beach!

This place was everything I was looking for. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfy. The kitchen was stocked with pretty much anything you might need. The pool and hot tub being right next to the beach was SO relaxing. It was so nice waking up in the morning and sitting on the porch watching the ocean. Amazing place to stay!

This house is very nice and in a great location. Linda was way to work with and a gracious host. Our only issue would be that the kitchen inventory needs to be updated. We are a family that eats in and loves to cook. Highly recommend this house ! Thanks for the great vacation!

Local Wedding

Overall great stay. One bedroom listed as having sofa bed in addition to queen bed - no sofa bed, only a chair. Very nice facility that needs to consider replacing the carpeting and providing additional basic products like paper towels, toilet paper, as well as kitchen hand towels. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

Great place for a large group

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean & welcoming with easy beach access and a great view from 3 balconies. The pool and hot tub were also great perks. Kitchen was well stocked and numerous bathrooms were well appreciated. We had some minor issues with appliances that we were able to resolve (coffee maker, ice maker, dishwasher). It was a great week at the beach and we would definitely consider renting this place again.

Great getaway

Good getaway, with a great location to the beach. Dollar General so close which was great for those last minute things you need to pickup. Good space and layout for families. Only critiques/feedback: pool water was pretty chilly especially the first couple days, but I think the weather had been cold before we got there. Overall the house was clean, but it was the unseen things that were not - blender, cooking dishes, grill etc. And we wished we would have had access to a vacuum while we were there to clean sand - which would help keep the place cleaner in the long run too. Overall, everyone said we would come back again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Jody and Melissa Stouffer

Host profile image
Melissa and Jody made Carteret County their home after living in Central and Western North Carolina. They have truly immersed themselves in the Salt Life! Jody, a native Marylander and avid home chef, has become very knowledgeable of local seafood and collects his own blue crabs, shrimp and clams. Summer weekends are often spent kayaking in the Sound, enjoying Salt Life with friends on the sand bar or fishing for whatever is in season. In the fall, Jeep rides on the beach followed by a low country boil are a great way to spend the evening!
