    First time in Emerald Isle, house exceeded expectations!Upon entering, first thing we noticed is that the rooms are larger than the photos and it was exceptionally clean. My requirements are: enough bedrooms for 5 adults, close to beach access (and the lifeguard is two blocks away) and a pool (the ocean was warmer than usual but rough, as usual). Also needs to be in a quiet community and the trees added privacy. And the screened in porch was an added bonus! We could sit outside and listen to the ocean in the evening and not end up bit by mosquitoes. It was within walking distance to an ice cream shop and mini golf and very close a shopping plaza with 2 grocery stores, gift shops and restaurants. If you haven’t been there previously, the visitors center is just a few blocks away has a lot of information, especially on ferries. Cape Lookout lighthouse is under renovation and covered in scaffolding, so it was suggested that we go to Fort Macon and Beaufort instead. We did both and had a great time!

    We had a lovely stay at this property. Everything was absolutely immaculate, and the beds were very comfortable. The beach is just a short, easy walk away, which made it incredibly convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The pool was an added bonus and perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.The highlight for the teenagers in our group was getting to see the neighborhood deer up close it was such a special experience. The entire setting felt so relaxing and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

    My family and I had a wonderful 2 night stay. The house was beautiful and the location to the beach was a quick 2 minute walk- if that! The pool was also a big hit- very clean and warm. There are shops and restaurants nearby- even close enought to walk AND minigolf! We would definitely stay here again!..Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay!!

    We absolutely everything about this beach house. The home itself is wonderful. It’s nice to have a hole with wood floors and partial carpet at the beach. We are used to so many beach holes with hard, dirty tile and you won’t find that here!The decor is perfect, and left lasting memories of a higher end beach trip to think back on. Memories are heightened when the vibe and feel of the home are top-notch!Location to beach is perfect, a straight shot at the end of the street. Pool was amazing! Everything you could want in a beach house!

    A lovely home in a great location. Short walking distance to both beach, store and Miniature golf and yet very quiet, peaceful neighborhood where we could relax in privacy in the pool or play family board games on screened porch. We had a great vacation with our children and grandchildren.

    Our family had a very relaxing stay. We loved the house and spent alot of time on the screened porch playing games. The pool was beautiful as well, although the water was a bit too warm for us. All in all, we had a great time!
