The property was a great size for our family. Plenty of rooms and beautiful sunsets from the deck. Pool was great to get cooled off. The beach was just across the street and very quiet. This is our second time staying at this property and had a great time!
This low key, and convenient to the beach location hit the spot. Many areas for the family to gather and make memories. Met or exceeded all of our expectations.
We rented this home for my wedding week and it was the perfect home for what we needed! The girls got to hang by the pool or beach. There was plenty of space for everyone coming and going!
We have stayed at Emerald isle several times at different properties: Pebble Beach, Southern Malibu and a couple other properties.
We had a great week. The house accommodated us and was in a good location. Maybe just needs a few updates, the pool area was great. All of the beds slept amazing, we would definitely recommend and stay there again.
We had a great stay at this home. There was an issue with the ac and it was fixed immediately. Working with the owner was great and she is so friendly and answered all questions and was very responsive. I have recommended to others and would stay again.Fantastic home.
The house is lovely and comfortable. However, i must mention that while it is listed on VRBO, this house is managed by a property company. This shouldn't be a problem but somehow they or the owner believe that the VRBO rules do not apply to them. I never received check in instructions until i reached out to ask for them. The reply was "text me at 3pm or LATER on day of check in and i will send you the code". I was beyond belief and livid! After 6 emails back and forth and ONLY after i reminded them that they have a signed contract and payment in hand, did the manger consent to text me the code at 3pm on arrival day. I could go on and on but suffice it to say i dont want to be fussing around wondering how were going to access the property after 2 grueling days of travel. If you book through VBRO dont let them bully you. We are not the "step child" in this contract.
Anyway, the house is perfect. Clean, spacious, very well appointed and very comfortable. This is our annual family reunion and we all rent houses all over the island. This is our favorite house so far. Even though hurricane Debby hit and lingered all week, the house was quite secure and having been through Ira a few years back, we have since chosen houses not oceanside. This experience wasnt that bad. We were able to enjoy the week and each other once we all got over the idea of the weather.
I will say that the management company did come and secure all the outdoor furniture so they did pull through on their respons
Incredible home with incredible views and superior service
I rented this home for my husband's 40th birthday. In total we had four couples and the house was plenty
spacious. The open floor concept was ideal. The house has an amazing kitchen designed to handle multiple cooks and conversation around the island. The massive living room was comfortable and could hold all 8 of us for games. The super king kitchen table allowed all of us to enjoy dinner.
The best part of this property are the views and location. From the top floor you can see the beach and sound.
I was concerned that the neighboring trailer park community would be challenging but it wasn't at all. It's filled with senior citizens and retirees. They were quiet and kind. The pool is also thoughtfully landscaped for maximum privacy. The location was also great. The running/biking house across the street meant we could all still exercise. The beach access was also directly across the street. Boat rentals and launches are less than 4 miles away.
All in all we had an excellent experience. We found the management company to be super easy to work with and when we discovered that I left something behind, they were quick to find it and mail it back. That's what I call superior service.
We will definitely rent this beauty again!
Thank you for the fantastic memories!!
We were very excited for our stay in Emerald Isle. The property was spacious and the pool was lovely. I donât stay at a lot of VRBOâs so I was surprised with the email that I needed to bring all of my paper products, i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, we were greeted with dog waste by the pool, sticky table and several very friendly, but unwelcome cockroaches, both outside and inside the house. The location is deceiving, as it is in the middle of 2 lots that have trailers on them. Not quite the secluded luxury that the picture entails. We did have a lovely time with family, renting bikes and going to the beach and playing in the pool.
The house was spacious and well furnished. Lots of natural light. The short walk across the street to the beach was great for little feet! The dock out back for fishing and crabbing was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.
Awesome experience! The house was in a great location and the property was clean and well stocked. We spent my family Christmas there and we would love to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Only suggestion for the owner would be to try to get rid of the sand spurs. I know that is a NC staple.
We booked the property for a family Thanksgiving getaway. Due to health related issues our Mothers ended up not being able to join us so my husband & I had the house to ourselves. Our daughter & extended family stayed in 208 Emerald which is also a great property. The entire group gathered at Blue Sapphire for our Thanksgiving dinner. The open layout was perfect. While some cooked, others played cards at the dining table, others shot pool & a group planned their Black Friday shopping strategy but we were all in close proximity to each other so that no matter what you were busy doing you were still included in other family members discussions. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Beach access was an easy walk across the street. For anyone with mobility issues the public access parking lot is just a minute up the street. The location & the house were perfect!
Communication with Joyce could not have been better! We look forward to staying here in the future.
Home was clean - with large decks. Has some age to it - older appliances / cabinets / carpet and proximity to road created traffic noise during the day.
I rented this house for a family/bachelorette vacation and it was absolutely perfect. There was so much space for us to spread out throughout the house. The pool was clean and such a nice addition to the beach just a short walk away. The amazing bay views from the balconies were our favorite spot to relax. Management communicated well and weâre super friendly.
