Yet another Emerald Isle week in the books!

We had an amazing week in NC on the beach. Lots of sun, fun, seafood and beach to refill our souls. Beautiful condo at Queens Court - totally redone not long ago in building closest to the beach. Great view on the balcony and quick access to the beach.

Cozy and Great Location with a View

Cozy and clean condo with great views of the ocean. My partner and I were able to cook in the fully stocked kitchen, which was a priority. We could walk to the beach in two minutes, or watch the ocean from the balcony. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay.

Easy location

This was the perfect place to stay for us! It was such an easy walk to the beach - especially because I am 8 months pregnant and we have a toddler. The pool was easily accessible as well, just a bit further of a walk. The condo was a good size and had everything we needed. Jean provided excellent communication throughout.

Lovely Beach View Condo

The condo appeared to be recently renovated and nicely furnished. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. It is bright with all white walls and colorful artwork. The owner has provided everything you need to feel at home. The balcony furniture offered both sun and shade with a great view of the ocean. We will definitely choose to stay here on a future beach trip.

Wonderful Condo with a view to die for!!

The view is absolutely breath taking. I found this condo to be completely charming and very clean. Due to an entrance gate that needed a gate pass, I felt very secure as a woman traveling alone. Everything I needed and things I didn't know I needed were available. The owner gave very good directions and information on everything. It was so very charming and a very restful vacation for me. I plan to be a return visitor.

What a gem!

This is a lovely condo in a fabulous location on a beautiful island. A perfect place to reflect alone or travel with that special someone. The view is priceless, the decor very pretty and is supplied with everything you need if you wish to prepare meals. Groceries, shopping and eateries are all within walking distance. The beach is exceptional. Our host, Jean, is a lovely, attentive, professional individual who will always be there for you. By the way, contrary to what one reviewer stated, this is the top floor of 3, not 4. Cheers Jean 💞

This Place is Incredible

From the minute I hit “submit” to book this beautiful place, I knew it was going to be a great experience. The host is the best there is. She was lightening fast responsive, organized, crazy informative (the check in/out process was stellar) and a wonderful, kind, sweet person. The condo was immaculate, fully stocked kitchen, super comfortable bed, and the view off this top floor condo is spectacular! I knew this was the 4th condo back so I wasn’t sure how the view was going to be, but it was off the chain! I spent a ton of time out there. We didn’t want to leave. We will be back soon. Many thanks to Jean (host) for sharing this wonderful piece of bliss.

Fantastic stay in Jackpot

Was supposed to stay in a 1 bedroom but it had maintenance issues and Jean put us in her 2 bedroom, Jackpot luckily. It was the cleanest, nicest condo we have stayed in. The view was the best. Right on the beach on the 3rd floor. Watching and hearing the waves, watched the birds, saw dolphins. In this area you cannot get any closer to the beach. Has beach access and easily walk to shopping. Emerald Isle is small so stores and shopping a little spread out but can still walk. People drive golf carts around. The town is very laid back and super clean. Never felt uncomfortable. Took a side trip to New Bern which we highly recommend. Take the trolley tour. So much history in that town. Stay here you will not regret it. Best VRBO we have stayed in.

Early Fall Getaway

Jean is an amazing host! She was very friendly and walked us through the property as we arrived. The view is incredible and all of the locals we spoke with were very outgoing. We went to the beach every day, even saw Sea Turtles hatch!!! We were walking distance to the grocery store and a local restaurant Caribsea (must try). You will need to make a run to the grocery if you did not remember to bring, dish soap, laundry soap hand soap, plastic wrap/tin foil. We did forget these items and they were not in the property. We brought everything else as we have stayed in a Home Away many many times. We cooked 2 of the 3 nights and the stove, pots pans, etc were all in excellent condition. We do plan to return as it's a very welcoming place to be!

Host profile image
I feel so fortunate to have lived in this beautiful area my entire life. I've been a homeowner at Queens Court since 2006 and I absolutely love it here! I live within 3 miles of the condo which makes it very convenient for my guests since I am available to handle any issues that may arise. Check in and check out are "contact free" and a very easy process directly through me. I love sharing my condos with my guests and enjoy meeting so many wonderful people from so many different places. I have numerous guests that return year after year....and I always look forward to seeing them each year.

Why they chose this property

I am a local girl and I have lived within 25 miles of Emerald Isle since I was born. I have never found any other place that brings me the same sense of peace as Emerald Isle. The happiest and most content times of my life have been right here at this very beach. It is part of who I am and it will forever be my HaPpY place.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous views, beautiful grounds and wonderful surroundings! This is a beautifully updated 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 672 square foot, top floor, oceanfront condo with amazing ocean views! Queens Court is one of the most convenient complexes on the island and has the easiest beach access of all. An elevator ride down and then it's just steps to the beach with no stairs to navigate at all!
