The place was nice and clean pretty comfortable, it is although a pretty good walk from there to the beach, and if you try and drive there's absolutely no parking at the local access. We've been trying to visit every coastal town on the NC Coast so we can pick a favorite, and wasn't real impressed with Emerald Isle at all.
Check in was easy and we were notified that we were able to get a little earlier than expected.
Our AC went out after returning home one evening. We texted the hosts and within 20 mins we had the owner come take a look. It was after 9pm and since it wasnât as simple as we hoped, the owner left and ran to the store to get a portable AC unit for the night. The next morning they had a service call in and it was fixed within a few hours. We were so grateful for the quick response and how they rectified the situation, as it was out of anyoneâs control.
The unit is perfect for a family of 4 and very clean! We especially appreciated how they were able to even fit a stackable washer and dryer into the kitchen, because no one wants sandy beach towels! The location is great for small kids as the park is a very short walk down the road and also the boat launch and a long, gorgeous fishing dock that is beautiful in the evening!
Walking to the beach was pretty simple too. Just bring a wagon or a beach cart.
We will absolutely stay here again!
Property was clean and cozy. I wish I knew there were pets that stayed there previously. My skin was so itchy and irritated the whole time. I am severely allergic to cats and some dogs.
The house was nice enough but there was not one comfortable piece of furniture in the entire house. We are retired so we want to be comfortable at the end of the day.
The sleeper/sofa was 4 feet off the floor and very uncomfortable for sitting while watching TV and the recliner was best suited to a 10 year old. I'm only 5'8 and my legs hung off the end of the chair. These were the only two pieces of furniture in the living room so we had to bring a deck chair in so both of us would have somewhere to sit. We frequently travel with another couple. Had we done that this time there would have been nowhere for 2 of us to sit. Not only that, one of the beds the mattress was wore out and my wife was hanging on to the edge to kept from rolling to the middle of the bed therefore we switched beds the next night and were able to rest comfortably. We go to the beach frequently and are aware there is an occasional palmetto bug however we just kept having to pick them up out of the floor.
The website leads you to believe that the beach is a short walk away when in fact the beach is almost a half mile away and there is nowhere to park at the public beach access point so you have to drive around and search out an appropriate access point.
