Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point

overall the rooms were clean as well as the living areas. The application process went very well and we received timely communications with the host. Our little dashund had a nice area in the back that on occasion was shared by at one time 5 deer, lol. I think that had he wanted to he could have gone thru the vertical slats but we didn't really worry about it. The kitchen utensils that we used were of good condition and there was a lot of different items.

Perfect beach house! Very short walk to the beach. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. Nice fenced in back yard for the pup. Great hang out space under the house. Highly recommend!!

We loved our stay. The house is wonderfully cozy with a well stocked kitchen for family meals. The dogs appreciated the fenced-in yard. The property was well situated in a quiet neighborhood only a block from beach access. The Point is our favorite ocean getaway. Thanks for a great week!

Convenient location for our family.

We had a great time! We’ve stayed at this house before in the past and plan to stay again.

The cottage was cozy with nice decor. It was very clean except for the patio floor beneath the house where we enjoyed our time with the grandchildren. Since there was no broom the owner was quick to respond & ordered one from Amazon. It is a nice & useful area so having the floor clean is a must. The location to the beach & to The Pointe is a short walk. The beach was very clean, not crowded & water was great Very glad we were close to The Point for evening walks & beautiful sunsets. All made for a memorable family vacation!

Our family visited Emerald Isle for my daughter's wedding May 2025. Excellent location. Detailed instructions were provided about house and location. House was clean and neat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had an excellent time, the house was so nice, great location, easy access to the beach and point. Loved it and looking forward to going back!

If you are looking for a great family getaway Prior Engagement is great and well stocked! Just grab your beach towels and go plenty of toys for the kids to play with as well. Just a short walk to the beach with the convenient cart, bikes and umbrella too!! We will be back

My family (6 adults and two dogs) really enjoyed our stay at Prior Engagement. Matt and Hilary made the check-in and check-out process easy and we found the rental to be well equipped. We've rented plenty of home on the Outer Banks and this is the first with a complete set of high quality pots and pans! The fenced back yard was wonderful for letting the dogs run and the area under the house was beautiful at night with the hanging lights. The location was ideal and just a short walk to the beach access. The entire family enjoyed our stay! Thanks Matt and Hilary!

It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the beach, there is a hill (once the boardwalk runs out) that you have to make it over. If you're carrying things, or carting them to the beach, be prepared. But, otherwise, it was great! Clean house inside and out.
