The perfect family getaway!

We were provided every possible comfort and convenience! Our only complaint was that the description sounded like it was closer to the beach. There is a 10 minute walk to get there which was a challenge with the little ones. Other than that we were very comfortable.

Second Stay

We were happy to return to this beach house! We noticed some renovations which was a nice touch. We enjoyed time with the family making memories. The main level of this home is great for gathering. The kitchen is open to the dining area which is open to the living areas. It’s a home with a big heart! We did have to replace a seashell lamp due to a kiddo bumping into one but the host was so gracious and we easily found a perfect replacement! We would return again.

Beach Loving EI 2023

The house was very cute and spacious. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach which isn’t bad and is nice to have the outside hose & shower. We drove to Beaufort NC a couple times to take a ferry, only a short 40 to 45 minute drive. We did need to contact Margaret once and she was very responsive. We would stay here again.

Great Beach House!

Perfect location, very clean and spacious with room for everybody. The downstairs quarters were great for my teen son and friend. We did a golf cart for the short drive to the beach as we had a lot of stuff to carry. Beautiful home with cooking utensils, books, games, a grill, festive lights on porch. Great family time!

Perfect Vacay!

We have zero complaints, the space was spacious & open, plenty of room for the 6 of us! The downstairs apartment was perfect for our teenagers, with it's own entrance & outdoor shower right outside the door... We didn't hav to buy any extra TP or paper towels, ect, very well stocked! It was clean & comfortable in every way, with about a 1/4 mile walk to the beach, but we loved the exercise & enjoyed walking to the pier every day. We made good use of the beach wagon & umbrella. A good restraunt & an amazing Italian ice joint made that walk worth it! We would definitely choose to stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Week at EI

Good location and the cottage was very, nice. Only issue was the 4 digit code that was requested via the VERBO email was not activated, but the owners activated it remotely in a reasonable amount of time, so we were not locked out too long. Down stairs bed cover was dirty, it had pet hair all over both the bed and the pull out?? Upstairs was perfect. Neighbors across the road had dogs that barked at anything that moved on the road and it was a busy road so that was very annoying. They did make attempts to quiet them but it was an everyday occurance and that alone will keep me from renting the place again. I don't go on vacation to listen to barking dogs

Welcome Home

We rented this beautiful home during our stay in the area to welcome home our son from 7 month deployment. The house was absolutely perfect for our family with plenty of room to just hang out as well as proximity to restaurants, the beach, and grocery stores etc. It was nice to have the use of beach chairs and sand toys as the weather was so nice while we were there. Margaret is a great host and was very helpful answering all our questions and gave recommendations when asked. We would definitely stay here again if available!

Review of Beach Loving

Great location, just a short walk to the beach with toddlers. Had a slightly bumpy start, but the home owners responded VERY quickly and graciously. We had four adults, three-year-old twins, and a one-year-old, and had to do very little to child-proof the place. Well-stocked with paper goods, dishes, etc.

We had a great vacation

We stayed for 1 week- had a great time. Owner was exceptionally responsive to concerns/questions. We have been all over NC coast and this is on our top 3 list. If u have a family- would recommend renting golf-cart for beach to and from. We lugged surf boards and gear to beach- it’s a short walk- but everyone agreed that golf cart is a plus. House is clean- very open floor plan- we will stay here again.

Fabulous pink house

This property was wonderful for our stay at Emerald Isle! It had a lot more room than we expected , and it was a very easy walk to the beach. Beach chairs, toys, and a beach cart were provided which made our beach time with younger children very nice. This place was just perfect for our family vacation with 4 toddlers and 6 adults!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Sharp

Host profile image
Our family now lives in Goldsboro, NC. We lived in Virginia for over 30 years, but moved for work, and the added benefit of living only 1 1/2 hours from our beach house!

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed on Emerald Isle for over 25 years. My husband and I were married on the island in 1998. For years we dreamed of owning a beach house at Emerald Isle, and in 2012 we were able to make that dream become a reality!

What makes this property unique

We chose this cottage because it felt like a real beach house, not a house that just happened to be built at the beach. It is open and bright, with a great floor plan for hanging out. The house was built in the 1970's and was renovated by the previous owners. We have continued to update the cottage with new appliances, flooring, heat pump, the outside shower and dressing area, adding on the screened in porch, new windows and siding.

We were able to meet the original owners a few years ago, when they drove by to see the house. The elderly woman and her daughter were pleased to see that "their" house was being lovingly cared for and enjoyed.
