With steps leading directly to the beach - what more could you ask for You would be renting the west side. The views from this house are incredible no matter which direction you look. Sitting on the highest point of land in Emerald Isle, Cloud Nine is appropriately named, sitting high atop the dunes. The sun rises to the east and sets in the west, over the ocean, making this location one of the only places on the entire east coast that faces due south.

The house offers a huge composite deck with PVC railings and a covered sitting area for shade. Stairs offer a short walk to get your feet in the sand. On the main living floor an open floor plan offers a comfortable living room to relax and rejuvenate for another exciting beach day. A large kitchen off of the living room on the main floor is loaded with all of your cooking necessities. On the Bogue Sound side of the main floor, a separate room is tucked away for extra sleeping space. A full bath and washer/dryer is on the sound side, off of the kitchen.

The upstairs is all about sleeping space! After a day on the beach or out visiting the plethora of local attractions, there is nothing like a good night's rest. Cloud Nine offers comfortable sleeping for our guests as we have furnished the house for as we will one day live there ourselves. The master bedroom sits off the ocean side and offers a king bed and a large deck with a view that makes you speechless. The master bedroom offers the largest bathroom with windows that show the ocean with every turn.

The largest room on the sound side offers a private deck with a view of the ocean and the sound, a queen bed with a twin. The sound side back bedroom offers a full bed, twin bed and plenty of closet space with a great view of Bogue Sound. The middle room at the top of the stairs offers a bunkbed with two twins and closet.

Built in 1995 and remodeled in 2012, the house is very well constructed and maintained. Cloud Nine sits near mile marker 15, mid-way mark on the 29 mile island. This proximity allows guests to travel east to discover the local flavor of nearby Atlantic Beach, including a side trip to the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, only 8 miles away. Continue on east and follow Route 58 to the end of the road which is home to historic Fort Macon State Park. From Atlantic Beach, a trip across the causeway to Morehead City offers nightlife, sound side dining and local shopping with historic Beaufort only a few miles further east. Traveling west from the house brings you into the town of Emerald Isle in just 4 miles. Adventurous guests can walk to the Bogue Sound pier by beach in about two hours. I recommend walking one way and calling back for a ride and insisting on being taken out to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch since you earned that!! Crossing the bridge at the west end of Emerald Isle is one of the most breathtaking scenes on the island. This short drive takes you to Cedar Point, home of Dudley Marina and the best place for FRESH OFF THE BOAT seafood at Phillips Seafood Market - where the locals go for fresh fish. Drive across another short bridge and enter into Swansboro, one of our favorite places to go. Wonderful people and wonderful restaurants. The closest mall in Jacksonville is only 30 minutes from Cloud Nine, beyond Swansboro.

    This is a lovely duplex with a great location. The hosts are great and very responsive. We had wi-fi connectivity problems and they worked with us to fix. The provided linens are of a better quality than some we have experienced at rental properties. Overall a lovely location and a great week in Emerald Isle. Only negatives are a bit of wear and tear on the property - an area rug with stains, furniture that was not cleaned well and some elderly plumbing, older mattresses and fixtures.

    Property was clean and had a tremendous view. The only problem we had was WiFi and we were there 2.5 days until the situation was fixed. Not a huge deal but something we spent some time on.

    We have not yet had the pleasure to stay due to a family emergency that occurred the evening prior to our arrival date. The communication we had with our host regarding how sad we were to be unable to proceed with our stay was great. Their primary concern was well wishes to our emergency and helping us to reschedule our stay to next summer! Ed and Autumn, thank you so much, we look forward to staying next year!

    Loved everything about this beach home. We’ve been coming to EI for years and this is by far the best home we’ve stayed in. The king bed in the master is very comfortable, plenty of room in the house to spread out, lots of games and books for the rainy days. The kitchen had everything we needed. Outside, there are multiple spots to shower and rinse sand off. The owner was easily accessible and contacted us to touch base and see how the stay was going. I can’t think of one negative, except the week is over and we have to go. Can’t wait to come back!

    The house was very clean and very comfortable. But the deck was worth its weight in gold! 4th of July fireworks were outstanding looking down at the pier

    We really enjoyed staying at this house on Emerald Isle. Sits up nice and high so you have a great view of the ocean and the stars at night. House was clean and comfortable, owners were easy to reach if needed and great to work with. Would recommend and stay there again for sure. Only recommendation we would make is have more beach chairs available, just be prepared to bring your own or buy some cheap ones. I'm sure they've had some in the past and guests took them or broke them. That's probably the only feedback we would give. Wonderful beach house.

    This duplex is very nice and the furniture is more comfortable than other rental properties at which we’ve stayed. The unit is very clean, and spacious, and the kitchen has most equipment you need if you decide to cook - which we did. The dishes are nice - and not plastic! or corelle and there are plenty of them. There are some very pretty decorative touches throughout the house, which added to our enjoyment. The road behind the duplex is great for walking if the tide is in full. All in all, we had an excellent week - the weather even cooperated. The only negatives I would mention are that some of the fixtures are old and showing wear. The showers are quite old, and for older people a little less safe than we would like, and a couple of the kitchen cabinets have peeling laminate. It would be helpful if the keysafe on the door was replaced - since it is hard to open and appears to be pretty old. Oh and the driveway is quite steep - it’s a workout climbing up the driveway if you have walked on Ocean Rd behind the house.

    This is my first negative review, but we feel it needed to be done so future renters do not face the same situation we did. When we arrived, the house was only partially cleaned. The toilets were dirty, there was dirty laundry and dishes, and there was zero toilet paper in the house. When we informed the owners, they said this had happened the past four times and they didn't bother remedying it. During our stay, a large ceiling panel fell down into the bunk room where the children stay. It luckily didn't hurt anyone, but the owners got mad at us for it because we called them to see if someone could have been working up there to cause it. Also, while we were there, ants infested the pantry. We were told, Welcome to North Carolina. That's what happens when it rains. We live in NC and do not experience this at home, nor did we appreciate that response. Finally, one afternoon we smelled a burning plastic scent and saw smoke coming out of one of the air conditioning vents. We called the owner and his response was, What did you do?? You have 24 hours to vacate the premises. We then called the fire department and after their inspection of the house and smell they recommended we not stay there until a licensed electrician verified that it was safe. Given this circumstance, we quickly cleaned up the house and gathered our belongings and left. When we asked the owner to reimburse those final two nights, he refused and continued to blame us and make up stories.

    We loved our stay. The owners were responsive to all of our questions and quick to solve any issue we had. We had the best access to the beach and there was no overcrowding. It was great to enjoy the beach/ocean as a family and not have to always find a spot like you may have to do in the more public access areas. If you are into finding shells the beach will give you more than you can handle. We also loved being in the middle of the peninsula so we had easy access to all the surrounding things we wanted to see. The house was perfect for all of us and we really enjoyed our stay!
