When I got to the property I could not get in using the code I was given. Took a couple of hours after contacting the property owner and could not get a hold of them and then had to call VRBO to get a different code

I'm sorry that was your experience. Since you had requested an earlier check in, I updated the code and sent a message through the VRBO platform regarding this change before your check in time. I never received a call from you regarding this concern or else I would have addressed it immediately. Again, I am sorry that you had this experience.
We enjoyed our week here. The house was a great fit for our family of 9. The kitchen was very well equipped and the location was fantastic. This section of the beach was not as crowded.

Glad to hear y’all had a great week at the beach! We love this section of Emerald Isle too!
We were a family of 10 staying here for a week for Thanksgiving. We had the best time ,it was so comfortable and you felt so welcomed. Amy was very accommodating for anything I asked for. The house was beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to cook a Thanksgiving meal. The bedrooms had the most comfortable mattresses. There was no problem sleeping. The weather was great and we definitely hope to come back.
This home was beautiful inside and out! It was equipped with everything we needed and the beach was right out the door. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back

I'm so glad yall had a great time and enjoyed the home. You'll have to come visit again!
This was a wonderful experience. The little things: make up washcloths. Shampoo in the bathrooms was unexpected. Nice touch. Beach chairs in boxes on the walkway.
We’ve stayed here several times and we love the location, easy direct beach access and space. Host is always accommodating and even allowed us to check in 2hrs early so our kids could nap upon arrival.

Thanks for the kind review. I'm glad yall had a great time and I could help out with the little ones.
This was just what we were looking for and so much! House awesome, views spectacular! Very nice place. The manager allowed us in a couple hours early since we arrived earlier than expected. Practically had the beach to ourselves.

House was perfect for our family. There was 1 room with 2 singles. Brother saud the beds were on wheels and they would move. Only negative thing I heard
