Spring Break

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting Emerald Isle with our golden lab. The house's location makes it easy to walk to restaurants, the bakery, and around town. The turtles at the end of the lane are entertaining to watch and fun to feed. The owners are a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to any questions or problems. We really enjoyed our time away.

Wonderful home in great location!

My family stayed here for New Years Eve and the house was absolutely perfect. The open layout with kitchen, dining area and living room made for a very cozy and comfortable hang out area, and the three bedrooms was perfect for our family and mother in law. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed Location was perfect with a quick walk to the sound, minutes from shops and restaurants, and a very short drive to everything the island has to offer. Communication was great and made for an easy check in and check out. Definitely recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Great location on a quiet street, easy walking distance to the sound, modest walk to shops, short drive to the beach. Gated lot for the beach access was a big plus, but keep in mind you're quite close to the Pier with all the crowds, surfers and fishermen. The owner was easy to communicate with and quickly delivered the beach chairs that are mentioned in the listing but not actually kept at the property.Cons: House was barely cleaned. Floors were sandy, cobwebs in the bathrooms, moldy shower in one bathroom, house had a persistent moldy odor. The furnace filter, visible in a closet, likely has never once been changed. The furnishings are as pictured, but fairly uncomfortable once you have a chance to sit in them. If you've ever wondered what a house would be like if you bought everything from furniture to mattresses to linens at Walmart, this is the place for you.
