Amazing Beachfront property!
Fantastic property, great communication from the Owner throughout. The house is in a quiet side neighborhood with direct, private beach access (ocean-side) but also only a short drive to supermarket/stores. Beautiful views of the ocean from multiple balconies on each level of the house. Every bedroom/bathroom/shower was very comfortable. A/C works great, Wi-Fi was strong, kitchen was expansive and fully functional with all of the cooking/serving items we needed including a charcoal grill outside. The house is well-apportioned with std beach items (chairs/umbrellas, etc). No complaints whatsoever, it literally had everything we needed or wanted.

Great beach house for a group of friends to spend a long weekend enjoying some time at the beach. Perfect setup for four couples to have their own rooms. Kitchen was well stocked for making big group meals. Easily enough parking for 4 vehicles.

Wonderful home on the ocean
Our family had a wonderful time here. Our group included two grandparents, a daughter and son-in-law and three grandsons. Everyone enjoyed our stay. The host was extremely responsive to every question posed. The fact that the house is a duplex posed no problem at all. There was a large family next to us that we hardly knew were there. We’d love to return.

Great location, perfect for families
We had 9 people (5 adults and 4 teens). Plenty of room for everyone. Beach front is awesome. The beach dune was a little tough for Grandma to walk over but manageable. The water was beautiful green and crystal clear. Well stocked beach chairs, boogey boards, etc. Five minute drive to restaurants and shopping. Staff at all stores and restaurants were very friendly...food everywhere was great. The house is well stocked in the kitchen but the house could use a little TLC (loose door knobs, needs interior painted, rusty shower rods). That being said, we enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Another great vacation in Emerald Isle. This was the 3rd time visiting EI and our 2nd time staying at this house. Amy is an excellent host. Communication was great. The house itself it’s beautiful. It’s stocked with anything you might need and more. It has a really homey feeling to it. Nothing compares to going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. Top Notch property and Top Notch neighborhood!

A wonderful house!
I've been renting oceanfront houses at EI for many years, and this was one of the very best. The layout and furnishings of the dining/living area were great for indoor times, decks were in very good condition, and the kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked with quality pots, pans and knives. Amy was a very responsive host. We'd definitely stay here again!

It is so wonderful to be right on the beach in such a lovely home. This is our third time staying here and it is perfect with kids. The kitchen is really well equipped and there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a large family or group. I can’t imagine a better spot.

Family touch is dwindling
After 20+ years at this cottage the quality is disappearing. Overall cleanliness is lacking. We had to clean the decks, patio and windows. The dinning room set is grimy as well as most of the woodwork(door jambs, handrails and baseboards) Although some amenities have been replaced, this should be considered expected given the age of the property.

Great oceanfront location on a quiet street. Beautiful property, well maintained, very clean, comfortable beds, well furnished kitchen, plenty of parking under the house and in the driveway, beach chairs and toys, owner is easy to work with and responds to inquiries quickly. Our second stay at Top Notch and we hope to return.
