This is a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 baths and sleeps 8. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a full bath attached. The upstairs has a queen bed with access to a deck overlooking the creek, a double bed, and two twin beds. The room with the double bed connects to both the room with the twin beds and queen so is ideal for families with children. There is also a half bath upstairs. It has a new kitchen with a breakfast bar and 4 bar stools and an additional full bath off of it. Open living area with dining area that seats 10 and a breakfast bar that has bar stools. The yard is large and has a dock and access to Archers Creek (the water level is dependent on the tides) which leads to the sound. Also has an outdoor shower. The house has 2 kayaks/paddles and also a paddle board with three life vests. Feel free to kayak out to the sound and go clamming with clamming rake!

The beach is an easy walk or bike ride away (880 yards) and the center of town is less than a mile which make for an easy bike ride or walk to local restaurants and shops.

I stayed here with a group of college friends to celebrate a big birthday together. The house was wonderful. We enjoyed the deck facing the marsh every night, cooked meals in the well equipped kitchen, took advantage of the kayaks and bikes and felt right at home. We did rent a golf cart which helped us get our stuff to and from the beach (which is easily walkable without all the gear). Sarah, the owner, was always super responsive and helpful. It was a great stay and I highly recommend it.
We loved our first visit to Emerald Isle!! The house was great with beautiful views! We loved the bikes and that dock!!!! Easy proximity to the beach—we rented a golf cart! We will definitely be back!!
So many extra's with this house, Bikes, rods, kayak's, crab pots and walkable to the beach. Lazy bench swing overlooking a beautiful pod full of peepers at night. There is something fun and well thought out everywhere you turn.
The house, amenities and communication with manager/ owner could not have been better. The house is spacious and beautiful with magical surroundings and landscaping with easy proximity to the beach. We could not have been happier!!! Be sure we will return. Thanks so very, very much.
We LOVED our stay here. The house had plenty of room for our family of 7. We had room to spread out, but the living room and dining room also gave us the option to spend time together. The covered patio was a family hangout favorite for us. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, and the house had proximity to anything we needed. We would stay here again in a heart beat. We would absolutely recommend this house, and Emerald Isle.
Very special property with endless outdoor activities. Great for families looking for plenty of space. We rented a golf cart and rode our bikes everywhere we went due to the very convenient and accessible location. Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Close enough to the beach. Bikes were very useful to tote items to the beach w us. I would recommend to any family. Our middle son is a marine so it was convenient for him to come here to stay and meet with family.
Description of the property along with the reviews are spot on. Sarah couldn't have communicated with us any better and our stay was excellent. The biggest takeaways were the great views of the intracoastal throughout the home, cleanliness, beautiful and unique property, and the availability of everything you need for your stay. We didn't even use the beach towels we brought and were able to cook multiple meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Overall though, the owner was superb and even went through all the trouble to immediately mail some items we left at the property. Perfect stay.
I enjoyed my trip to Emerald Isle and my stay at this property. I visited for a week with my husband, two small children, and my parents. They layout of the house worked well for us. My husband and our children stayed in the upstairs bedrooms and the fact that they are connected worked well for us. My parents stayed in the downstairs bedroom and were able to have some privacy. The only part of the house that didn’t work well for small children was the bathtub. There is only one bathtub in the house and it’s an older, jetted tub. It’s very deep and it’s difficult to bathe small children in it. The house is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and you do need to cross a main road. We rented a golf cart which made things much easier. There is plenty of golf cart parking at the beach access. My five year old enjoyed exploring the frog pond and dock, but we did find that even with bug repellent on we got quite a few bites. The house is also within easy driving distance to the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Macon, both of which were interesting day trips. The house was clean, as were all of the linens. We did encounter some bugs in the kitchen, bathroom, and front room. The owners have been working with an exterminator, so hopefully they will be cleared up soon. Overall, we had a lovely time at this house.
This lovely, Emerald Isle house is located on Archer Creek--a salt marsh tributary that leads to the intercoastal sound. The house was clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful. The beach is a short bike ride away (on the fleet of single-speed, wide tire, adult bikes that are available at the house. A trailer attached to one of the bikes carried all our gear). The configuration of bedrooms upstairs is really best for a family. One of the bedrooms (the one with the full size bed) is only accessible by cutting through one or the other of the bedrooms (with queen or twin beds). We were fine with it, so it worked for us. The house has many different hangout spaces--so plenty of options for groups to gather, or find a little space apart. There are several different decks--a spacious one at the entry for catching beach gear and hanging out while waiting for your turn at the wonderful outdoor shower; the deck in the back has a view of the marsh and sunset with tables for cocktails and dining (along with a very nice, multi-fuel grill), and the one off the upstairs queen bedroom--perfect for early morning yoga. Sitting out on the dock in the salt marsh in the early am, or paddling on Archer Creek in the kayaks provided was also delightful. Sarah was prompt and helpful in all her correspondence. We would definitely return to this delightful home on Emerald Isle!
