Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes in Latitudes'

Perfect location, steps from the beach. House is well loved, could use a few updates but we were there for the beach! Decks were great, lots of outdoor furniture. We really enjoyed our time with friends and family.

Great location on the beach!! Loved all the outdoor decks. Property manager was responsive and helpful. Lots of beds and so many hooks! Big outdoor shower too.

Perfect setting. Wonderful access to beach. House comfortable but furniture and linens a little worn. Kitchen very well stocked. When we arrived air was not working but repairman came very soon and all was well. Decks on each level were wonderful.

Property is worn out and outdated.There were structural issues, all floors were uneven, which made it difficult for the older ones of us to keep our balance. There was condensation and fog between the panes in all of the windows, including the sliding glass doors. The cleanliness was not up to our standards. It was cleaner when we left than it was when we arrived. There are too many other negatives, so we'll tell you what we did like about the property. The location is perfect. We enjoyed the new deck areas, although rain guards were not installed under the upper level deck, so when it rained, we couldn't use the lower level deck without getting wet. We liked the outdoor shower which had the only shower wand of all the showers in the house even though it was outside. The kitchen countertops were very nice. Overall, we feel we didn't get the value for the amount we paid.

The kitchen was very well stocked, enough dishes and flatware for several meals. Lots of pots, pans, bowls, and utensils. Hooks everywhere to hang damp towels and suits. Table big enough for 12 snuggly. Seating at bar for 4. We brought a card table and put it at the end to seat all of us. Loved the outdoor shower and foot washing station. Deck furniture was great. Rooms were comfortable and plenty of storage. Right on the beach with own access. Plenty of parking under the building. Located near shopping, restaurants, and water park.

Our group had an amazing time. House was nice and able to accommodate our large group. Would definitely stay here again.

Let me start by saying Deanna, owner, was fantastic to work with. She is very quick to answer any questions you have about the property. The location is at the end of the road next to the public access but we did not have any problems with people encroaching on us. Our family rented both duplexes and the house directly across the street so there was a lot of us (27). The kitchen was well equipped. Had a regular coffee pot and a Keurig, although we did not see the Keurig until late in the week, that’s why I mention it. The beds were comfortable. The dining room table was really great for playing games at night. I think we all loved the deck the best. So wide with a table and 6 chairs on both sides, 2 rocking chairs and a 2 seater slider. The sliding door in the living room was hard to open but the sliding door in the dining room was easier so we used that one. We got some beautiful pictures of the sunsets. The beach was great and it is a short walk to the Sunset Slushy hut which was frequented daily! Opens at noon. Did our shopping mostly at Publix which is a nice grocery store. Good water pressure in all showers and the outdoor shower was an added bonus. We had between the two houses, 7 cars and a 17’ Carolina Skiff and there was plenty of room!! Amazing Duplex!! Would highly recommend. ❤️

Beach is beautiful but way too crowded. This house is right next to a condominium back parking lot. You are right on beach but main boardwalk right next to house. Nice places to eat that are close by. House Could have been cleaner. Overall I thought too much money for this house.

The house was ok but there were several things broke/didn’t work and almost everything (except the kitchen, that was beautiful!) needed some serious updating! Also there was NOTHING at the house, no games, no beach toys/equipment (which they did tell us before hand but hard to pack such things), no toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, or even hand soap. Also we had to purchase a lot of things like HDMI cords and extension cords to be able to get tvs and lights and things to work ( several outlets didn’t work at all) and there were no working lights on the back deck which made it difficult to enjoy that space after dark like we had hoped to. You are responsible for making (and stripping before leaving) your own beds, we were told by the maintenance man this is to save money on price to rent house but it was still a hassle after the long trip to get there to have to disperse linen/ towels and makes beds. And the decks had several loose boards and the railings did not feel secure and the wood was splitting so several people got splinters in their feet (we were told the decks are suppose to get done next yr but they were pretty concerning since we had little kids). Several of the doors didn’t even shut let alone lock, 2 of which were bedroom doors and the downstairs bathroom door (maintenance man came to do what he could by putting in slide locks but still a privacy concern). The fridge in the kitchen leaked inside the fridge all over the food and things that you put inside. That being said the maintenance man was very nice and came asap to attempt to fix issues like a loose fan and toilet. He arrived quickly and did his best to fix the problems and make us feel better but there wasn’t much he could do to alleviate our main concern areas. Likely would not stay here again even with the great prices. We enjoyed our vacation and appreciate the owners letting us come and enjoy their home. Great options for the price.

Well equipped and a few yards to the beach. Great views from all decks of the ocean and beach. Managers responsive to maintenance issues. We may be back in a year or so.
