We have absolutely nothing but praise for Andy's beautiful home. Prior to our trip, all communication with Andy was easy and professional. We had full instructions for arrival in hand well in advance and had no difficulty accessing the property when we got to Emerald Isle. Everything was immaculate when we arrived. The interior is lovely in fresh and bright colors and beach themed decor throughout.

We had stayed in a home through a realty company last year and had to purchase so many items for the kitchen upon our arrival. I was thrilled to see an exceptionally well-stocked kitchen with every utensil we would need, but also with those small, but necessary things, like salt and pepper, cooking spray, and a variety of spices. It may seem like a simple thing but it really was just one of the examples of the touches throughout the house that made us feel comfortable and at home.

The garage had more than enough boogie boards and bikes for all to use and a great four-burner gas grill. We were also excited to find board games in the bedroom as I had forgotten to pack some for the kids. It was a little too hot for us to eat outdoors very often but the kids loved the picnic table on the upper deck. Air conditioning, washer/dryer, and a dish washer were all appreciated, as well!

The location was also perfect with a very short walk to an access point to the beach near the corner of Ebb Tide Dr and Ocean Dr. The shops and restaurants of downtown were only a short drive away, and I found a fantastic playground near the boat launch just across Emerald Dr.

We would happily rent this house again for a future trip if available. It was a great place for our vacation!
