Here are a few kind words from past guests:
From Anna, August 2024
"Even better than the pictures! We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to come back. This was our 8th time in Emerald Isle and by far the best place we’ve stayed. The condo itself is beautiful and has anything you could need. We loved sitting out in the back porch overlooking the pool and reading in the swing chairs out front. The beach was a very short walk away! We will definitely come back."
From Sayna, September 2024
"Second year in a row staying here for my birthday weekend!! It’s a perfect home away from home for any family! I highly recommend this vacation rental for its location & superb customer service! Josh & Cara are just the best!! We look forward to staying here again next year, if not sooner."
