SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway

Absolutely perfect place.. we enjoyed every moment there!

Loved the location and space

The house and location were perfect for our family. It was great to have the kitchen, living room, and four of the bedrooms on the same level. We have two young granddaughters, and this setup was ideal for our family. Check-in was easy and smooth. All amenities were there for us. There are numerous dishes, pots, pans, and more in the kitchen. We were able to feed our entire family without worrying about not having the right dishes or enough plates, glasses, or silverware. We would love to rent this house again!

Wonderful place! Great access to the beach! It was a nice and quiet beach stretch. Also loved watching the neighbors do the most wonderful fireworks display for the 4th. Best feature is a bathroom with every room! It’s a lovely and cozy home. You feel at home there. It’s definitely a little humid and musty downstairs but the dehumidifier helps a lot with that. Overall would definitely stay here again!

As always your family's home gives us the opportunity to create our own family memories!

I cannot say enough good things about Howard’s Hideway. The house was a perfect setup for our family. Every bedroom has its own bath and the bedrooms are larger than the pictures depicted (at least I thought so). The kitchen was fully equipped with all that we needed to cook all meals at the house. Location was perfect—we could bike anywhere and could walk to the local ice cream store. The deck was so nice—it had a lot of shade and we spent several evenings on the deck visiting with family that we haven’t seen in a long time. There were also several chairs on the deck for everyone to sit in. Finally the view and beach access will be hard to beat in a future Emerald Isle vacation. Thank you from all members of our family from the little ones to the grandparents!!

Perfect for family beach reunion week. The Colvards have gathered here over the last Thirty-plus years to the fourth generation . Furnishings are more than adequate without being luxurious.

Howard’s Hideaway was amazing! It was just as described. It is on the beach and close to everything! Thank you for sharing your home!

Howard’s Hideaway exemplifies the saying, “Location, location, location.” We have been going to the beach for years, staying at VRBO rentals all around the Emerald Isle area. This home, far and away, was the best in terms of house layout (multiple floors, separate entrance for lower level), five separate bathrooms, plenty of seating in the living area, the game room, and the deck. It’s made for family gatherings and creating memories. Favorite parts: being able to go out on the beach just to hand over more sunscreen for the kids and the grown ups on duty and then just strolling back to relax on the deck and watch them play; grilling out and watching the waves and the sun set; early morning walks to the pier; sitting on the deck watching a brief storm come in and listening to the rain. Finally, on our last day, watching a family of dolphins leap in the ocean while we enjoyed breakfast on the deck. Our family left (with tears from the five year olds) with every intention of making this a yearly tradition.

Absolutely loved our weekend getaway on Emerald Isle! The home was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly located—just steps from the beach. All the thoughtful touches and supplies made everything easy and stress-free. We enjoyed grilling, swimming in the ocean, and even some friendly ping pong matches.We made wonderful memories during our stay and can’t recommend this place enough. Looking forward to coming back!

Great house right on the beach and easy access to everything you need!

As a family we have been traveling to Emerald Isle for 35 years and this is our favorite house! The openness and the views are unbeatable. Each bedroom is well sized and having en-suite bathrooms is wonderful! The lower level gives families a ton of elbow room and a huge bonus is the large private bedroom with ocean views and private entrance. This place is a true family home!

Our family truly made some great memories in Emerald Isle this week. Thank you! ☀️

We needed a place for the immediate family to stay while attending a wedding. It was perfect. Everyone had their own space if wanted, but the house layout was great for everyone to be together. Fantastic beach.

Location was the best. House was as described only negative is the musty smell downstairs. Plenty of space and privacy for everybody.
