The house was beautiful and clean, had stunning views and was so peaceful! The only issue we had was that we booked this house for November for the heated pool, only to be told after we had arrived by the pool cleaners that we had to pay extra for it to have been heated. Which was incredibly disappointing as it was listed as a “heated pool” in the description and not an “optional heated”. Overall we loved the house, and would love to stay again in the future, but we wished they had been more transparent in their amenities.

Wouldn’t recommend

Unfortunately we were disappointed with this house. It was not the luxury it claimed - home needs lots of repair and updates. There were ants, rug was dirty. The main sliding glass door to the porch was incredibly challenging to open and close - with young children and elderly parents this was a real issue.

Multi generational family beach vacation

This is an excellent property for a large multigenerational family vacation. The two bunk rooms were perfect for the boy and girl cousins. The king rooms with their attached bathrooms were just right for moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas. Beach access, pool, hot tub and location close to shopping and attractions were big bonuses.

Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend and this home was the perfect place to hold our small wedding. Our wedding party stayed at the house with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The host Tony was extremely nice and helpful to make this a great weekend for a special occasion for me and my husband. We loved this home and look forward to renting it again in the future!

Fantastic, spacious house for lots of people

Stayed with more than a dozen friends for the weekend. House was roomy and comfortable, with a great location. Plenty of beds, large kitchen, plus ping-pong in the garage. Hot tub and pool were nice touch, plus the jumping dolphins were amazing. Will definitely come back again!

Amazing beach house and owner

We had an amazing time at this beach house. The pool, hot tub and amazing views where awesome! This has to be one of the best beach front houses at Emerald Isle! The owner Tony was the best! Any questions I had he was very quick to respond he also help us book some kayaking, jet skiing, and shark tooth island adventures. Tony was great. Possibly the best vacation we ever had at Emerald Isle!!

Awesome house and with beautiful beach view

House was great. Everything was clean and tidy. Pool and hot tub worked. The living room has an amazing view of the beach. The neighbors were very friendly too. We loved the Ping pong table, it kept us entertained for hours. No complaints. Would recommend!

Senior Trip for College Prep

We had an overall good stay! We took a group of graduating seniors for a weekend getaway to help them prepare for college. The house is very spacious and fit our needs. The neighborhood is awesome and the proximity to the beach is great! We enjoyed the hot tub and the ping pong table. Our only real complaint was that the house could have been cleaner. We found hair in shower and in the bed. There were signs of wear and tear in places as well. I would recommend this house for large groups!

Great Property for Family Gathering

This is a great property for a family gathering! With 7 adults, not only did we have all the bedroom space needed, but we also enjoyed the various gathering spaces including three different eating areas, which would be great for a larger gathering. We also loved the sectional sofa in the family room that provided a lot of seating. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved that we had the use of a gas grill on the deck. There is also a hot tub and pool, although we didn't make use of it. The views from the deck were fantastic -- no large dunes to obstruct your view. Tony, our host, was great, too. Very responsive with any questions that we had. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Suggestions

Enjoyed our stay. Second year. A couple of suggestions from this year. Per page have at least one roll of paper towels available to at least get us started. Also more than one kitchen trash bag. And soap. If not provided, perhaps note in rental information. Also, we were unable to access elevator, which is one of main reasons we rented house. But overall, an enjoyable stay.
