About the host
Hosted by Kelly B
Hi, I’m Kelly, co-owner of Drowsy Owl Properties, a family-run business dedicated to creating memorable, stress-free stays. I love helping guests enjoy everything our area has to offer, and I’m always happy to answer questions, share recommendations, or help with special requests. We take pride in offering thoughtfully prepared homes and warm, responsive hospitality throughout your stay.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property the moment I saw it! I have always loved Emerald Isle and dreamt of owning a house here, and this house has everything one could want in a beach house. The location is truly incredible, being set in a neighborhood that feels so private yet is only a few steps from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, shopping, & entertainment. Match that with the dreamy heated saltwater pool, and this property becomes a true Emerald Isle dream home! And, the best part is, I get to share my dream home with family, friends and guests! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
