Affordable Oceanfront w/ Private Pool!

Stayed Sept 6-13. We had a wonderful time. Property was great. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Had a little confusion with property management picking up key and a slight issue when we arrived at the house, but the host was very accommodating and fixed the issue immediately. The house was perfect and the host was very easy to work with. Would definitely stay there again.

The access to the beach and the private pool is the best. This is our third stay.

Beautiful house, great location. Will be going back.

Check in went smoothly, the house was

The house is beautiful and the location is amazing Everything we needed was provided. The kids loved the pool and we all loved being so close to the beach

Had an amazing week! Thank you

It was absolutely perfect—beautiful, spotless, and so comfortable. We had a wonderful time and have already booked again for next year!

This property was very well maintained and stocked. Clean. Communication was wonderful. Pool was smaller, but the perfect size for cooling off and for all 5 of the young children in our family to play in. LOVED our stay.

Great property!! Perfect location!

What a beautiful beach home. If I had a house this lovely, I would not be sharing it. :) Gorgeous granite in each updated bathroom and especially the kitchen. Plenty of seating for home cooked meals. Also appreciated the bathtub for kids. We enjoyed the pool and porch swing. I especially want to mention that we had a three year old along and there is an alarm of sorts when the back door is opened that alerts you. It’s a chime that you can hear throughout the house which was a huge relief to my grandmother heart. Huge washing machine and dryer. The labeling is impressive and it’s fully stocked even down to birthday candles. We aren’t sure if we ruined a floatie so we left a new one. We had the best time. Thank you for having us.

This was our fifth year staying here, and everything was excellent as always. Already looking forward to next year!

Our third year at Great Expectations East, and we have already booked our fourth return next year. We love everything about this house, pool and location. Beautiful decor, comfortable seating and beds, always impeccably clean, well stocked with anything we’ve ever needed. Three out of five bedrooms have their own oceanfront access to deck and the bathrooms are updated, most with tiled/glass walk in showers. It’s close to good restaurants, shopping and local attractions, and it’s sitting on the best beach in North Carolina.

The property is in a great location with direct easy access to a beautiful uncrowded beach. The private pool is small but adequate. The house is comfortable and well equipped to accomodate my large family.

My family had a great stay here! The beach was beautiful, and the pool was an added benefit! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. The layout was perfect for multiple groups. The shops and restaurants were a little far from the house, so I would suggest renting bicycles. Overall, it was an awesome trip - would definitely go back to this house!

We have stayed at a lot of beach houses over the years and this one is our absolute favorite. The house is set up perfectly for a large group and very well stocked. Our kiddos loved the pool, actually we all did.

This was an amazing house for our extended family vacation!! Excellent communication with the owners prior to our stay; they promptly answered all questions regarding the property. Comfortable furnishings, a well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath towels (a few more kitchen towels would have been nice to have on hand), and the view/location on the beach... perfect! We had a wonderful time!! Hope to return in the future!!

We absolutely loved this house! It was perfectly designed for large families, it was extremely clean, stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need, and the location was excellent! We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to go back!

This house is such a great find. The pool was fantastic and the access to the beach was so close. Everything you could need was there and linens and towels were in great shape. Beds were soft. The whole vibe of the house and location was relaxing. It was perfect for our group of six. The downstairs area was fine for us, bit it may get crowded with more people. We were far enough from the pier that we felt a little safer in the water, but close enough to go to the pier to fish. Aquarium is so close and a short drive to Beaufort. Close to Publix and Food Lion. We will consider booking here again in the future!

Owner was great to communicate with. Everything was seamless. Great property for families.

The house was beautiful, well stocked, clean, fantastic location, pool was great. Pool light didn’t work, contacted owner and they got back to me immediately with a response. Owner was VERY nice and extremely responsive to any questions we had. Not sure if it is in the discrimination, the grill is charcoal not gas. There was charcoal available when we got there. Highly recommend this beautiful home!

First the lock on the door. Need’s to be replaced and management knew it before we got there. The deck needs to be replaced around the pool. The rest of the deck needs replaced also. Nail heads sticking out from about 1/16’- 1/8” everywhere on the deck. Weeds growing up through the deck. The bedroom with the Queen size bed did not have screws on one of the bed rails. No ice maker in refrigerator or garbage disposal in sink. Terrible waste of our money. No drapes in the King sized bedroom on the second floor. When the neighbors turned on porolights at night it lights up the room, also the ceiling fan ticks. Never Again. Shame on you for charging so much for such a depleted property.

The home was perfect for our family beach vacation! The pool was especially a treat, clean and the right size for us from Grandpa to our 6 year old grandson! We were especially pleased with how clean everything was and loved the equipped kitchen! We would love to return sometime! The owners were great with communication too!

We’ve been coming to Emerald Isle 1-2x year for 10 years now, and this, by far is our favorite beach house. Lovely decor, comfortable seating and beds. This was our second stay here, and it was as spotlessly clean and well appointed as ever. We love that there are three oceanfront bedrooms with walk out decks and quality rockers/seating. Also love that we don’t have to carry groceries to the top floor. Great views of the beach, just steps away. Everyone loves the pool. Already booked our third return. This beach house is pure bliss!

Great house and location! We've been here several years in a row and love to come back every year.
