Relaxing Stay at the Beach

Our family had a very relaxing stay. We loved the house and spent alot of time on the screened porch playing games. The pool was beautiful as well, although the water was a bit too warm for us. All in all, we had a great time!

Family Beach Vacation

Our family loved staying at this property. The location was perfect. Close to shops, restaurants, and most importantly the ocean. The neighborhood was quiet and the people were very friendly. My kids enjoyed time in the pool and ping pong. Overall would recommend to anyone, and we would love to return.

Great place to stay

This house was great. It was a short walk both to the beach and to shops & restaurants. Very quiet location. The pool was the best! Relaxing when we wanted to be lazy, but had some pool games when we wanted to have fun. Kelly was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic pool and great location!

We loved our stay! Such a convenient location to shops, restaurants and most importantly - the beach! The best part was how responsive our host, Kelly, was. She gave immediate responses any time we had questions and was incredibly accommodating. Great for families - a fairly large pool with lots of toys, great space for dining indoors or out, and comfortable bedrooms. Would absolutely recommend!

Perfect house, very clean and well appointed, close to the beach + grocery/restaurants too, we enjoyed our stay and made good use of the pool and ping pong table and screened porch to pass time on cloudy/rainy days during TS Debbie that week. The kids were troopers and we made the best of the beach, owner was great to communicate with and would definitely visit again, 5 STARS.

Super Mother's Day Weekend!

This was the most wonderful and convenient place to stay with family. Everything was super clean and beautiful! Family fun isn't weather dependent; the beautiful beach which is a short walk, they have a ping pong table, corn hole, games, nice grill, and a beautiful pool large enough for everyone to enjoy. We all couldn't have been more pleased with this wonderful vacation home at the beautiful Emerald Isle. Thank you so much for the opportunity to create wonderful family memories at your amazing home.

Family getaway

The location is great, just a short walk to the beach. the pool was clean, but slightly smaller than expected. The house was clean with a functional kitchen. The bathroom amenities needed to be replenished, but we had just enough shampoo and soap to get the salt and sunscreen off of us! Communication was excellent. We loved all of the porches.

A wise choice!

The Emerald Owl House became our vacation home right away. Very roomy, but somehow with a cozier feel than some of the “sand castle” rentals we have experienced. We enjoyed the screened porch and private swimming pool! The host was immediately responsive to all of our inquiries. We have bookmarked this house for future trips to Emerald Isle!

The Emerald Owl is a Gem

The Emerald Owl house is a hidden gem of a vacation spot! We truly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and accommodating our family with teens and offered ample space for all to enjoy. The beach is a short walk and the pool was wonderful. Note that the beach access stairs are steep and was not a problem for our family with teens but could be challenging for those with mobility issues. For us it was a 5 star experience! Kelly is accommodating and clear in communication and made our experience a breeze! We are already planning a return trip!!

Emerald Isle Gem!

We couldn't have asked for a better property to spend the last week of summer. From the excellent beach location to the backyard pool, this property is a winner. Neighborhood beach access is literally a 5 min. walk to clean and never crowded beach. The house is located walking distance or a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, shops and mini golf. The owners/managers are very responsive. The house has everything you need for a great stay. We recommend this property and would love to return!

Family fun

Great location, close to so much stuff. Host was great, we definitely had some hiccups right from the start but Kelly took care of it the best she could. We had a great time with our family. Granddaughters favorite was the pool. Other than restrictions on times you can use the pool. This should be posted on site. Private pool means you can use anytime. It’s a great house , fun times.

Absolutely wonderful! A great and comfy oasis.

We meet our friends for a long weekend. The house was perfect-it was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood which was close to the beach and to restaurants/shopping. We had a pool which they heated for us and we loved the outside space. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The part that was the absolute best was the check out process. In recent stays at other places, there were so many crazy rules and things we had to do which kept us from fully enjoying our trip. This home was the absolute best hands down. We just had to put our towels in a pile and turn on the dishwasher. I can’t tell you how much we all appreciated that. Also, the host communicated often and was extremely accommodating. This was a perfect place for what we needed. Thank you for making it easy, fun and had all we needed. It was also beautifully decorated.

5 Star - Kelly is AMAZING

First the house is beautiful! Wonder location on a quiet street. It takes less than 5 min to walk to the beach. Super close to the grocery story, miniature golf, water slides and go karts. The house is exactly as shown and the heated pool is amazing!!! For the value, location, ease of access to so many things it’s an ideal spot. I’m trying to buy it from her frankly. Kelly is amazing to work with and very accommodating and available. Granted we didn’t need anything but she checked in to make sure we got in ok, asked how things were going and if we needed anything and finally gave us amazing recommendations (even though we have been to Emerald Isle before several new places to explore). Simple a great experience, great host, great home and location. Ideal for a family and perhaps a couple of their friends. We will definitely book again!

Quiet Family Beach Spot

I cannot recommend this home enough! It is tucked in a small half cul-de-sac surrounded by shady trees with a shaded screened in deck and a front deck that always has an ocean breeze. Our 4 yo loved "his" room - the room with twin beds that also had a few books that he loved having to read at night. The bedroom with a full sized bed had a perfect corner for our infants pack and play crib (which also could fit easily in the master bedroom). The kitchen is small but well appointed and the queen bedroom is tucked behind the kitchen. It can be closed off creating a mini-apartment for my sister and her partner. The pool is absolutely perfect with tons of floats and toys that our 4yo had a blast with (and we loved shooting hoops!) We didnt use any of the beach stuff but it has plenty of that too including a wagon that would make a trip to the beach access easy. The owners were easy to communicate with and so accommodating. We are definitely planning to come back. It is perfect for our family and pup. If it is free you should book some time here! You wont be sorry!

Perfect Getaway

Kelly was an incredible host and “Emerald Owl House” was a perfect respite for my husband, me and our two Pom fur-babies. Everything about the house exuded a feeling of relaxation and comfort - no detail was over looked. Being able to check-in at 3:00, giving us an opportunity to relax before dinner (after unpacking) set the scene. The kitchen was well stocked and organized (a real plus for me) with everything needed to prepare in-home meals. The screened in porch was the perfect “dining room”. Retiring to a comfy bed each night meant that we awoke refreshed and ready to enjoy a day at the pool, beach, exploring EI, or just lounging around. Speaking of the pool - it was amazing - clean and large enough in which to swim. The neighborhood was perfect for walking our dogs and everyone we met was very friendly. The beach is a short walk from the house but one caution - the dunes are quite tall so there are quite a few steps to get across them. Since we are enjoying our twilight years we opted to rent a golf cart and drive a short distance to an easier beach access point. Many thanks to Kelly for a wonderful two weeks and we hope to return soon.
