We had the most peaceful and wonderful stay in Peyman’s place near Emerald Isle. The house is nestled in a cute neighborhood moments from the sound. The inside is immaculate, renovated, and well-decorated with everything a family of 6 could need. The fenced in yard makes pet care easy, and the back living space is great for entertaining. Beds were comfy and rooms can get nice and dark! We slept SO well. Thanks for having us, Peyman! The kids said this is the best rental we’ve ever stayed in.
Such a beautiful home just a short walk from the sound. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to relax. Great community and communication from the host!
Everything we needed was there and ready for us to enjoy. House was clean and as described. The fenced in back yard was our dogs favorite thing. Just what we needed!
This was my first VRBO stay and it was amazing. The property was very quiet and was a great size both inside and out for my family to relax. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals and the host was wonderful.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the home overall and had the chance to experience the Cherry Point air show.
We do want to clarify for future guests that there is a gorgeous public water access located less than 100 meters from the property, just down the street. Detailed directions and a map are provided in both our online guide and the welcome information inside the home. Unfortunately, we were never contacted during the stay regarding difficulty locating the access, as we would have been more than happy to assist right away.
Regarding the bedroom lighting, the home is equipped with smart bedside lighting that allows guests to adjust brightness levels to their preference.
We appreciate all guest feedback as it helps us continue improving the experience, and we’re happy to hear you found the home comfortable and accommodating overall.
This location is fantastic. It’s close to everything including beach but secluded as well. It’s the last house on a dead end street with horses and chickens as neighbors. Very quiet neighborhood but very friendly neighbors
Ideal setting, seclusion, and a securely fenced yard!
The diligent housekeeping created an atmosphere that was both warm and welcoming. Our family delighted in outdoor pleasures, such as the fire pit and bean bag toss, while exploring the charming locales of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, and Morehead City.

Owner was communicative and friendly. The house was just as described. It was clean and had all the basic amenities. Would definitely recommend.
Very comfortable and private. Large fenced yard great for pets and children. Great location. Large master suite is very comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied and easy to use. Definitely recommend.
The house is very nice on the inside and has great back yard. It has a secluded feeling even though it's in a subdivision. My youngest loved having the Alexa's in every room. The Host was extremely helpful and responded quickly when I had a question. Would book again!
This house is adorable. So quant, but yet roomy for 5 adults. We had so much fun having evening fires. The host was extremely responsive. Everything was great, would stay there again!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Peyman, the host, was very friendly and responsive. The layout was great and it was very clean. Also it was a convenient location to our family that we were visiting, shopping and the gorgeous Emerald Isle beaches. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.
Crystal Coast Charmer is quite a gem! We were very comfortable during our stay. Peyman thought of everything! And when we had questions, he was very quick to respond. The home is beautifully done and very clean. I would definitely stay here again!
This property is a true gem. Completely updated, clean to a fault, very secluded, and just had that "relax" and "enjoy" factor. Paula and I will be staying there again. We even mentioned we would consider buying it if it ever went up for sale!!!
Loved the house with the fire pit. The kids love sitting out there around the fire. House was very clean and they were very generous with giving courtesy kcups, and a very kind welcome gift. Be sure to ask where the entrance to the water is and also the play ground. We did t need them this round. But if we did we would have needed directions. Great stay and very comfortable!
As described. Like new inside. Spacious. Great yard for dogs. Host was great with communication. Garage. Convenient but kind of off the beaten path. Peacful. Little porch was great for rain.
