Between Sound & Sea - Private Beachfront Parking Lot Access
Center of Emerald Isle, private beach parking lot! The beach access is just over a block from Bogue Inlet Pier where there are public restrooms, shopping, a restaurant and great fishing! Very short walk or drive to the private beachfront parking in gated lot with showers onsite at the access. The access fob used for the gated lot is provided with the home. Very short walk to âdowntown Emerald Isleâ where there are shops, restaurants and nightlife. 3 minute walk to Cedar Street pier on the sound. Linens provided, including bath & beach towels, washcloths and kitchen towels. Charcoal grill onsite. Large driveway for boats and multiple vehicles. Outdoor shower at the house. Quiet, dead end street, open floor plan, king in master and queens in 2nd & 3rd bedrooms. Pullout sofa in living room. 500 mbps Internet - Spectrum Ultra package! Dish and hand soaps are provided. First couple of trash bags are provided.
Pros: Great location on a quiet street, easy walking distance to the sound, modest walk to shops, short drive to the beach. Gated lot for the beach access was a big plus, but keep in mind you're quite close to the Pier with all the crowds, surfers and fishermen. The owner was easy to communicate with and quickly delivered the beach chairs that are mentioned in the listing but not actually kept at the property.Cons: House was barely cleaned. Floors were sandy, cobwebs in the bathrooms, moldy shower in one bathroom, house had a persistent moldy odor. The furnace filter, visible in a closet, likely has never once been changed. The furnishings are as pictured, but fairly uncomfortable once you have a chance to sit in them. If you've ever wondered what a house would be like if you bought everything from furniture to mattresses to linens at Walmart, this is the place for you.
My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting Emerald Isle with our golden lab. The house's location makes it easy to walk to restaurants, the bakery, and around town. The turtles at the end of the lane are entertaining to watch and fun to feed. The owners are a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to any questions or problems. We really enjoyed our time away.
My family stayed here for New Years Eve and the house was absolutely perfect. The open layout with kitchen, dining area and living room made for a very cozy and comfortable hang out area, and the three bedrooms was perfect for our family and mother in law. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed Location was perfect with a quick walk to the sound, minutes from shops and restaurants, and a very short drive to everything the island has to offer. Communication was great and made for an easy check in and check out. Definitely recommend!
We traveled from VA to Emerald Isle to get together with our Swansboro family for a visit and great Thanksgiving meal. The cottage was an ideal dog friendly home in a great dog walking neighborhood. Owner was very respond prior to our stay.
This house was in a great location. It was clean. It's an open concept. We were able to come and go easily to our event that we support fishing for a cure. cure.
This property was very well maintained. Both outside and inside. Every time you reached for something or needed something it seemed to be right where you would expect to find it. WELL STOCKED KITCHEN. Big pot, small pots, bowls, Tupperware. Even a labeled "popcorn bucket".
The hostess was 110% responsive to all questions and requests and she is lovely. Can't go wrong with this pick! And the beds and that master shower!!!! Whoooweee great đ
What a great home to spend few days at the beach. My ratings pretty well summarizes our experience. It will be high on our list of places to visit again.
I would highly recommend Amy and this property! Amy has proven she has the visitors best interest at heart. Had a few requests due to an older family member, and she was very accommodating. We will be back!
Wonderful house close to everything. Private beach access was nice as well as proximity to the pier
Host was super responsive and went out of their way to make sure we had everything.
House and yard were wonderful.
We had 6 adults and 2 children who stayed this weekend. The house was very up to date and clean. None of us had a single complaint. Nice location and quick access to the beach. I contacted the owner with a question on the first day and she was quick to answer my call and very friendly. We would definitely stay here again and recommend.
The property was exactly what our family needed to be comfortable at the beach. The outdoor shower was fantastic for getting the sand off of everything. Inside was just enough space for everyone to be comfortable. We look forward to coming back again.
Great little house had everything we needed for our trip. Couldnât ask for better. Very clean, quiet neighborhood everyone around us was very friendly. Will definitely stay again.
We had 6 adults and 2 kids and this house worked great for us! The private beach parking lot was nice and less than a mile away, could easily walk if you werenât bringing a lot with you to the beach. The outdoor shower at the house was great and had the best water pressure of all 3 showers. Nice place!
Amazing location, amazing host, and extremely clean. Our host Amy, was fantastic with communication and when we had a slight issue come up she took care of it immediately. Also, we rented a golf cart from right up the road( was more affordable than I thought) and it was so fun riding through the neighborhood and there is a bridge at the end of the street the house is on that takes you to the private beach access once you cross the highway. We enjoyed riding the golf cart through the ocean front neighborhood too. Our 10 month old had such a good time riding around(you can strap car seat in). Canât say enough good things- just book it! So glad we did!
Between sound and sea was a great house to rent while enjoying Emerald Isle. Kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, etc if you choose to cook in the evenings. Each room has a mullticharger device that was so live to have for all the kids electronics etc. towels and line a being provided is fantastic, especially when already packing everything else for a family of 5! The outdoor shower having warm water was also a great luxury when cleaning after a day of fun and swimming suits full of sand. Having beach side parking is also a great addition to the house. Overall, 10/10.
