4 bedrooms, Family-friendly, pet-friendly Oceanfront DUPLEX

It was a great place and was located in a part of Emerald Isle that is our favorite part of the beach! Everyone had their own spaces and beds were comfortable and the house was decorated with a homey beach vibe, too. The house was well equipped and even had lots of extra things that were helpful to make our stay more pleasant. It was a little difficult for some late night family members to go to sleep in due to there not being light blocking curtains, but other than that, it was a fantastic place to stay. Rae was very responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. She was also flexible and easy to work with when setting things up. Highly recommend A Happy Place!

The house was just as posted with great decks for porch sitting with drinks, right on the beach. Easy access to go for walks and enjoy the ocean. The bedrooms are spacious with room for luggage and the bathrooms have good counter space and drawers for toiletries. Plus the primary shower was a dream. We felt very comfortable in the house and were able to relax throughout the week. Love the quiet neighborhood, too.

This rental was perfect for us as we were looking for oceanfront with at least 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for the 4 of us. The house was stocked with essential needs (even beach items) but we brought our own as we are used to them. Location was also close to town so we rented a golf cart while we there as well. Communication with the host was prompt and clear. Our only complaint was that the washer did not work and we were not aware of this until the day of. Luckily we had extra towels available to us since there were only 4 and it was stocked for 8. Highly recommend and we would stay here again.

My family (4 adults, 2 kids) had a great stay here. The set up with 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms was what we needed, and the location is wonderful. Short walk to beach too! The house was well stocked with essentials. The beds were more comfy than most rentals I’ve stayed at. We had some bad weather during our trip due to a tropical storm so we spent a decent amount of time just hanging out and it was comfy and we had no issues. Would definetly return!

We loved our stay! We will be back. The home was exactly like it was described. The kitchen had lots of useful things. I was surprised there wasn’t a pitcher for tea or lemonade. We loved being able to use Boce ball that we found in the storage closet. Thank you !!!

Comfortable , as advertised

The house itself is lovely and comfortable with a wonderfully stocked kitchen. The decks looking over the ocean were amazing. A brand new walkway to the beach (which is a few steps away) was very nice. We couldn’t get over how uncrowded, clean, and spectacular the beach/ocean were. Special treat seeing the strawberry full moon rise over the ocean!

You can’t find a better location than this - shortest and easiest walk to the beach we’ve had in 20+ years of annual NC beach trips. Our senior citizen pup appreciated that! Quiet neighborhood, no crowds, fabulous ocean views. The townhouse was clean and well furnished with a plenty of new, non-rusty beach chairs, umbrella and beach toys. Kitchen was well-stocked with all we could possibly need and a bonus - regular coffee maker and a Keurig - so we could each make our brew our way. Lots of parking, two king beds and three full baths were also big pluses for us. Rae was super responsive to our needs and in answering our questions. Overall very happy with our stay.

The property is updated, clean, and well-equipped. We absolutely loved the location and the proximity to the ocean. Rae was attentive and excellent to work with - always a quick response to all questions or info needed. We will definitely return to Emerald Isle and to A Happy Place again next year.

My family has been vacationing in Emerald Isle for over 20 years. My children (now married adults with babies) have made so many happy memories from the island over the years. I can't tell you how special it was to bring the next generation to the same spot to make new memories. The house was perfect. Communication with the owner Rae was really helpful. The three full bathrooms were wonderful because each couple had their own space. The open concept kitchen and living room with large dining table was great for family meals. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. I was an awesome week and we can't wait until our next trip!
