OCEANFRONT with Amazing Views

Beautiful house. A great family getaway. Lots of stairs to the beach. Uncomfortable full size bed but the others were ok. Linens were not changed and some other things. The owner handled it to our satisfaction but he should fire the laundry/cleaning company

Our family (6 adults and 2 kids) had a good time and Ed was very responsive. The location and view are INCREDIBLE and the price was great for being right on the beach. Cloud Nine also has the advantage that since it is a couple miles away from the busiest parts of Emerald Isle, the beach was never crowded. There were a couple of things that could have been better. First, some of the cooking utensils and baking dishes were kind of dirty when we arrived and needed cleaning before use, which was kind of annoying. The plates and silverware were fine though. Second, the gas grill wasn't usable in our opinion. Grills inevitably get rusty after some use, especially being close to the ocean, so that didn't bother us, but this one had mold growing in it and one leg was completely disconnected so it didn't feel stable enough to use safely. We adapted easily enough but a gas grill had been one of our criteria when selecting a property to rent so the state of the grill was disappointing. If it weren't for those 2 issues, I would have given it a 5 star rating.

Very nice house right on the beach. Close to everything but far enough away that traffic wasn't a problem. Easy check in and check out, everything in the house worked well. Would recommend to anyone

Good property and location on EI.

Lovely property with beautiful views.

Great view and location.

Wonderful Ocean views from the high balcony, the stars at night felt like they were at eye level. We enjoyed our stay!

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!

Well stocked and well maintained house with beautiful views, direct beach access, and helpful owners. It has been a great fit for your family for several years now.

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.

We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful oceanfront house with amazing views of the ocean. There was plenty of space for our family and the house was tidy and clean upon our arrival. We would definitely recommend staying here!

We had a great time. Location is excellent! Cooked and shopped. So fun. Maybe should put some toppers on beds to make more comfortable but other than that it was wonderful! Had everything we needed.

We had a great stay! House was spacious and well stocked. Awesome view and access to the beach. Great walking on the beach. Saw loads of pelicans and dolphins. 🐬 Fun place to stay for Thanksgiving week.

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.

I rented this home almost a year in advance. It was a perfect location & had plenty of room & allowed overnight guests if my family decided to come. Upon arrival I noticed a few issues. For example: the door to the outdoor shower was completely removed & put to the side; there was a large brown water stain in the ceiling of the bunk room; the freezer side of the refrigerator had no shelves & the ice maker didn’t work; the refrigerator was also missing shelves; part of the stove didn’t work. I notified the owners of the issues as a courtesy because I assumed they were unaware. However, their response indicated that they were aware of the issues prior to my arrival. They said they were sending by their “father” to take measurements for repairs. I asked if they could reschedule any measurement appointments until after our departure. The next day a man showed up claiming to be a “co-owner,” (even though VRBO says he is not) & I thought we had a civil conversation & he left. Next thing I know I received notification that our booking was cancelled, & we needed to vacate the property. The owners accused us of breaking house rules. Which was not true. I treat every home I rent w/great care & respect as I know it is someone else’s home. I treated this home the same way. I did not expect a palace & I genuinely was trying to make sure the owners knew about the issues. In return, they kicked us out 3 nights early. The whole situation was devastating.
