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!

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.

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.

Wonderful Week

Our family of 7 adults and 3 children had a wonderful week in this home. The pool and hot tub were great to have available. The rooms were comfortable. Plan to wash the towels that are provided or bring extra. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. We will consider coming back again.

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.

Needs maintenance

Needs maintenance. House wasn't as clean as I expected. Carpet needs replaced. 2nd floor bedrooms had leaking ceilings.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 9 August 2024
We are sorry Miriam was not satisfied with her stay, however, a one star review is very dishonest and disingenuous. A one star would reflect a stay where the photos did not represent the place or if it was excessively dirty or not oceanfront as listed. Our response to the maintenance comment: We pride ourselves in addressing maintenance issues right away. The week Miriam stayed there was excessive heat and humidity (even more than NC is used to seeing). Due to this, there was condensation on the air handler which dripped to the ceiling. We addressed the issue as best as the HVAC service technician could but unfortunately, we couldn't control the weather. Miriam complained about the technician being there but he was only there when they were out of the house so it did not impose on their vacation. Unfortunately, having a profession technician onsite to address the problem was unavoidable. As far as the cleanliness goes we use the same cleaner (same person that typically gets positive cleanliness comments) so we don't understand why that comment was made and we were not alerted to a specific issue or provided pictures of dirty areas. The carpet is as shown in the photos and yes it has some age on it. Wear and tear happens at a much faster rate at the beach and with short term rentals. We have invested thousands of dollars in upgrades over the past 3 years including new carpet is 2 of the bedrooms, a few new hurricane proof windows, deck repair, new paint, new grills (new one each year), new fixtures in some bathrooms, and many more. We wish Miriam with better short term stays in the future and suggest she visit NC beaches in spring or fall to reduce the risk of condensation.

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!
