Stayed Nov 13, 2025This vacation house was perfect for my pup Kelly it was nice to be able to just let her out to do her mess and it was clean. The host Max is awesome starting with easy access and the ice cream treat we received. The house was spotless and we really enjoyed the dock the views and the short walk to the beach! Awesome

Stayed Sep 11, 2025We had a lovely long weekend stay and so enjoyed the amazing views of the Intracostal Waterway from the back porch. Pelicans flew by often and sunset from the dock was beautiful. The beach is an easy walk across the road if you want to go put your toes in the sand, but would need a.cart if hauling lots of stuff or little ones. We appreciated Max being easy to communicate with and available as needed. The house is at the end of a short cul-de-sac, so is nice to not.be on a busy road and having a fenced back area was nice for taking the dog out. It took about 30 minutes to Morehead City waterfront which has nice restaurants and shops.A great stay!A great stay!

Stayed Aug 2, 2025We booked with Max and it was such an easy process. This place was perfect for our first visit with our dog. We especially liked all the water activities available to us on the sound side! Very quick walk to the beach and a great host!

Stayed Jun 28, 2025We had a wonderful time. The location was great. The Bogue Sound on one side with a private pier and a short walk to the beach on the other side. We took our beach chairs out on the pier at night and had wonderful peaceful experiences. Max was a great host. Very good at communication. Gave us lists of restaurant ideas and activities around the area. He was like communicating with a friend and not just a host. Loved the fenced in yard for the pups.

Stayed May 14, 2025We had a great time at Simple Blessings. The house was clean and in a great central location. So many close options for dining and exploring the small towns in the area. The private dock was great for fishing or just hanging out and there were plenty of kayaks at the house for our use. The beach was a short walk across the street. The owner was great, and gave us alot of suggestions for dining and other things to do. We would definitely say here again.

Stayed Apr 12, 2025This was our first time renting sound side and we loved it. We rented this house as our family brought kayaks to put in the sound. It was perfect!! The public dock right beside the private dock to the house was so easy to get in and out. This house is located in the narrow part of the island so it was a very short walk across the street to hit the beach. Clean home, had everything we needed for our week getaway, would definitely rent here again. Max the homeowner was very responsive and gave some great tips for our trip. The surprise sweet treat was a huge hit as well! Gorgeous water views! Can’t wait to come back!

Stayed Sep 22, 2024Great place away from all the retail and traffic of Emerald Isle. The beach is a quick 2 minute walk (has a life guard tower there) and the dock into the sound is great - offers relaxing sunrises and sunsets of the sound. And great for fishing! The house is more than enoug for 2 people or plenty large for even 6. Kitchen is fully equipped and the fan on the stove top was great. We used the linen service provided and there were plenty of towels and wash clothes. Max was responsive to all our queries and a good host.

Stayed Aug 17, 2024My family and I stayed at Simple Blessings August 17-24. The location was perfect! We were right on the sound and the beach was right across the street. The property was wonderful and sitting on the top deck outside of the master bedroom in the early morning was gorgeous and serene. The host, Max, was fantastic! Communication was top notch and he gave great dining suggestions. Thank you Max for having us at your wonderful property. Looking forward to our next stay!

Stayed Jul 20, 2024Comfortable open floor plan beach home that was located within feet of the sound and super close to the ocean! Well stocked kitchen with convenient pantry storage. Lots of natural light with great sound views. Easy walk to the beach or you could load up and pay to park at the public beach access. The host was very responsive and provided great information! Look forward to booking again!

Stayed Jul 13, 2024This house is amazing! Short walk to the beach but I would recommend a wagon or something to put all your beach stuff in. The beach was busy Saturday and Sunday because it is by a public parking lot but the rest of the week was not busy at all. Life guard perch was right by where we set up everyday. The dock and the sound side are fantastic with sunrise and sunset everyday. I didn't fish but people were fishing everyday on the other docks. I would stay here again for sure! Emerald Isle is our favorite beach and place to take our vacation.

Stayed May 24, 2024We had an absolutely magical week staying at Simple Blessings! Max was the most curteous host we've ever had. The home was clean upon arrival. The view of the sound was just perfect. Having a fenced back yard made bringing our dogs a completely stress free vacation, and that is important to us! We caught crabs and fish off the pier, and our dogs absolutely LOVED swimming in the sound. The location to the ocean is easy access and easily walkable. The beds were VERY comfortable, we slept so good! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Stayed May 18, 2024View of the sound was just perfect. So peaceful just sitting on the decks looking over the water. Best part was the beach was just across the street. We could experience both each day. Loved it!
