Such a fun place to stay! We loved being tucked back in the woods and only a short walk to the beach was perfect for us! In the evenings, we enjoyed ping pong and darts mostly. We also played several games that were provided. It was a great trip to the beach for us!

The house was very clean and was stocked with all the amenities you could need. The walking trail to the beach worked perfectly and provides shade if you’re hauling a lot of stuff. Biljana was amazing to deal with and I would definitely consider booking this place again!

We are so happy to hear that you had a great stay. We'd love to host you again any time!
Absolutely enjoyed everything, it was clean and had many things provided so we didnt jave to pack with us or shop as soon as we got here. No complaints at all
What a great spot! We planned a really last minute stay and our first at the point. It did not disappoint. The home was great. Had lots of built in activities even with rain all day! The quick access was much better than the long walk we didn’t first day. Home owners and hosts were great. We would 100% stay again.!

About the host
Hosted by Biljana Wilsey
We are a family of five that fell in love with Emerald Isle after vacationing there at the house of some friends. So, we decided to get a beach house of our own so we can enjoy beautiful Emerald Isle more often!
Why they chose this property
We purchased the home in 2021 because we fell in love with the privacy and trees all around the property, as well as the open floor plan on the top floor, the spacious bathrooms, and enough bedrooms so each of our kids can have their own space.
What makes this property unique
We have enjoyed doing some updates like adding the breakfast/coffee bar in the dining room, putting in new granite countertops in the kitchen and turning the garage into a game room. We hope you enjoy our home so much that you are inspired to visit more often just like we were!
