We will be back in the future! Caroline was very easy to work with and extremely prompt with communication. The home exceeded our expectations. Everything was very clean and we slept well in the comfy king bed. Easy walk to the beach and hearing the ocean waves while sitting on the deck is lovely. We cooked breakfast several mornings and had everything needed in the kitchen and more. Check in and out was super easy as well.
It was a pleasure hosting your family Amy. So glad you had a great time at the house and the beach! Thanks for staying with us, and see you again soon!
Worked perfectly for a getaway for our family. Nice easy walk to the beach and a couple of shops. Having bikes at the house is a nice touch. House was very clean and well cared for. Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. Would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed our stay, home had everything we needed! Gorgeously furnished and comfiest beds ever! A short walk to the beach, could hear the waves. Short walk to amazing donuts and other various gift shops etc. saving this in my to go again list!

The home was perfect. Our trip was unfortunately cut short and we only got to stay two nights because my father had a stroke. Maybe we can come back another time.

Dear Angie - I was so sorry to hear about your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. It was so sweet of you to take the time to review our beach house during such trying time. Please see the private message I sent you. Wishing your dad fast recovery and healthy days ahead.
We had a great stay in Emerald Isle. The home was clean, comfortable, and with updated furnishings / appliances. Close to everything in Emerald isle, so that walking or biking were possible to most places. Caroline was a great host, and communicator. Will surely stay there again on our next pass through the area.

Thank you for staying with us Jim! I'm so glad you and the family enjoyed the house and our beloved Emerald Isle! I look forward to hosting you again soon.
If I had a beach house, it would look just like this one. It was a joy to stay here. Convenient to the beach, and to restaurants and shops. Loved sitting on the screened in porch and reading. It was like being in a tree house. Looking forward to going back!

It was a pleasure to host you and your family Bill! We are beyond thrilled you fell in love with the house and the neighborhood (we are partial but also think it's the best house and location ever), and look forward to hosting you again!
This was our second time staying at this location and it was fantastic as was the first! Shampoo, conditioner, soap, linens, towels, coffee pods, beach toys and wagon, kitchen items all avaliable. Board games and TV as well.We had a 2 year old with us and he was occupied the whole time. Location was prime, about a 5 minute walk to the beach. 3 minute car ride to boat ramp. Several playgrounds located within 5 minutes.
My daughter and I had a wonderful time here! The home was comfortable and Caroline included so many nice touches we haven’t seen elsewhere- shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers, sample size toiletries if we’d forgotten anything and plenty of bath towels and wash clothes! It was a short walk to the beach which was quiet and relaxing. We’ll definitely book here again if we head down to Emerald Isle again! I highly recommend for couples or families!

Thank you for staying with us Susan! So happy you had a great time during this special vacation! We look forward to your next visit!
The Surf Breeze was in an ideal location, close to everything we wanted and needed; far enough away to still never see crowds (except outside of Fish Hut Grill!). Caroline was an amazing host- from the little details to the big, she thinks of it all and immediately responds to questions or concerns. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Caroline’s EI property!

It was such a pleasure to host you and your family Eva! Thank you for choosing the Surf Breeze for your family gathering! Your review makes me so happy - happy guests are the best reward!
After a long hard year, my husband and I needed a quiet getaway. This house and its surroundings could not have been more perfect. The house is bright, airy, sparkly, more than well-stocked; plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Caroline even supplied a goody bag that included sun screen. Cool mixology set too. Caroline was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Looking forward to returning soon for another couple's getaway with friends.

It was lovely hosting you and Moe for your getaway. So glad you enjoyed this well deserved relaxing time! We look forward to having you back soon.
Kitchen was fully equipped and stocked with spices and oil as well as any kitchen tool/appliance you might need, which was quite wonderful with a full house - 4 adults and 3 children. All the appliances worked great and the cabinets are labeled which was a huge plus. The screened-in side deck with table and chairs was very handy. Back deck was nice, too. The kids loved the beach and the buckets, shovels, etc. provided were a bonus! It was a great location - not far from Swansboro and Cape Carteret. Enjoyed the go karts and mini golf just around the corner and Lazzaras Pizza was yum. Food Lion was a good option as Publix was more on the expensive side. Lots of other local shops nearby as well. It would have been nice to have another TV in one of the bedrooms so adults and kids could watch different shows but it wasn't a deal breaker as the kids had tablets, etc. We did bring our own beach towels as suggested. Would highly recommend! It's a very nice area, even in the off season. Caroline has pretty much thought of everything a guest might need, was friendly, accommodating and available.
Very pleased with this house and stay! The renovations to this home were great, everything provided for our stay (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, beach gear, kid items, bikes, all dishes/utensils needed for cooking, dishwashing pods, etc) was so nice and appreciated. Communication with the owner was on point any time I had a question she responded very quickly. Short walk to the beach and right in the heart of stores/resturants. Truly we had no complaints. Plenty of deck space as well! Another big plus of staying here was how easy the departure requirements were, super simple! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
(4 adults and a 14 month old).

Thank you for the wonderful review Kaley! It was such a pleasure to host you and your family at the Surf Breeze. I'm so happy you enjoyed the house amenities, location, and everything Emerald Isle has to offer. I look forward to hosting you all again soon!
The home was incredible, inside and out! I was in town for an extended work trip and this was the perfect spot to prepare for and recover from long days in the office. Relaxing on the screened-in porch and private rear yard each night listening to the sounds of the waves was definitely a highlight! On the weekend, I loved the quick, easy walk to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Caroline was to work with! She was very helpful and responsive, both of which were very appreciated as I navigated my first VRBO experience. I will definitely be staying here again, though next time I’m bringing my family!

About the host
Hosted by Caroline
North Carolina is our home, and we couldn’t have hoped to find a more beautiful state to raise our adventurous family. When we first came to Emerald Isle, we immediately fell in love! The Crystal Coast became our favorite family destination to the beach. We love the not over-crowded beaches, the laid back and family friendly vibe, the countless activities should we wish to skip the beach for the day. Surfing and fishing became a family favorite, and we take very seriously going on "beach time."
We hope you feel at home and have the best time ever!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Emerald Isle at first sight - the beautiful clear waters of the Crystal Coast, the fresh seafood and wonderful restaurants, the welcoming locals, and the countless activities to do. When we found the house we were looking for, we couldn't wait to renovate it the way we would have wanted every rental we stayed at to be for a relaxing, fun time at the beach. We loved the big yard, the trees and birds, the proximity to the beach while being so close to the town, and that general feeling of peace and relaxation. While decorating and outfitting the house, we kept in mind little ones and their parents so everyone could have a truly great time. We are so happy to share our spot of paradise with you, and hope you love every minute of your vacation!
What makes this property unique
The house is on a beautiful large lot, surrounded by trees. This means shade, beautiful birds and wildlife, and privacy from beachgoers. We wanted to give our guests the experience we always wanted to have for our family - a truly pampering experience with all the gear you need, extremely comfortable beds for reviving sleep, and a true relaxing beach experience for everyone. The house is a very short walk from the beach on the oceanside, very easy to go back and forth to break for lunch or grab anything you need. It's very well equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, towels, linens, to shampoo and soap. The outdoor shower is a treat after a day on the sand and ocean water. We provide all the beach gear you need so you don't spend hours before and after your vacation loading and unloading your car. The house its family friendly with everything for little ones - pack & play, step stool, kids utensils, a stroller, and beach toys - and bigger ones with fun outdoor games like corn hole and a fire pit for evening gatherings.
