Fun despite Hurricane Debby
We have never been to Emerald Isle. We had a great time exploring and seeing what the area had to offer. The house was perfect for our needs. Our daughter brought her best friend and they loved having their choice of rooms and all the amenities. Hurricane Debby cut our stay short because of my worry about all the rain. I highly recommend this house. So comfortable and well equipped. We will visit again!

Great location, great layout. Loved the private beach parking. Unfortunately, the house was dirty. Toothpaste spray on the sink, dust everywhere, dog hairs in the couch, filthy oven.

Private, quiet, comfortable
We usually stay beach side but we are now rethinking our priorities. This property was very clean, well-equipped, and so peaceful. We love to cook and the recently updated kitchen was perfectly apportioned for big dinners and quick lunches. The updates in the master bath were thoughtful and convenient. The double cherries on top of it all was the private beach parking and beach access, and the super-fast responses to any and all questions we had (which were very few) thanks to the clear communications from the owner. We look forward to booking again!

Fantastic home, fantastic location
We love this place!! This is our 3rd year staying here & can’t say enough good things. The house is setup really well to accommodate our group of 5 adults & 1 child. The outdoor space has a great deck w lots of shade for hanging out & meals, plus a great outdoor shower. The house is all one level & super clean. It’s in a quiet area and the beach is still easily accessible w the included parking access. This home will always be our 1st choice when vacationing in EI.

Great property and loved the location.
We had a great vacation at Emerald Isle and a big part of the reason was this beach house and easy access to the beach. We normally stay oceanfront, and we were a little hesitant. While no need to be. The location of the home is in a great neighborhood and the parking at the beach was easy and always available. The home was clean, with modern/updated bathrooms and kitchen. We loved the back deck. With all the shade from the trees, the deck was always cool and relaxing when getting back from the beach. Heather was great to work with and always got right back with answers to questions. I would recommend the property and we plan on staying again when we return to Emerald Isle.

Great stay!
We loved our time at Heather’s house. A lot of thought had been put into what guests might need - fully stocked kitchen with updated/well-kept cookware and appliances, comfortable beds, and a guestbook with lots of helpful information. The outdoor shower was wonderful, as was access to private parking at the beach, which wasn’t super crowded and very close by. Great communication from Heather as well! Highly recommend this house! We look forward to coming back!

Love this place!!!
First, don't be worried that this property isn't on the ocean, because the house, location, and owner are awesome!!! A short walk to the sound area, with a pier and benches are great for watching the beautiful NC sunsets, another short walk to the highway and you're at the best breakfast/coffee place on the island, as well as a great donut shop! As for the beach, this neighborhood has a dedicated beach access, and even there during the 4th, there were plenty of parking spaces, a great, well maintained walkway to the beach, which is close to the pier, but without the crowds! The house itself is wonderful, plenty of space, and lots of updates, and one of my favorite things is the outdoor hot shower! If you stay, please be sure to give this a try, believe me you'll be sold! Heather is awesome, and even on a holiday is always accessible to help with any issues you might have! I will definitely be staying here again!!

Lovely stay at this vacation home
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this home. We especially enjoyed having meals outside on the deck and walking down the street to the cute donut shop. The private beach access was really great to have as we could just show up and park without having to drive around endlessly looking for a spot. The little closed in sunroom was a nice surprise as it made a great spot for my toddler to hang out with his toys while still being in eye sight. Would definitely rent this home again or recommend to friends!

Perfect House. Perfect Location
One of the best places we have ever stayed. The ground level was perfect with aging parents. The location was perfect. So close to all the EI amenities. Private parking was awesome. The kitchen was fully stocked. There is even Tupperware. The place was super clean. The outside shower with hot water was a huge bonus with six adults. The owner was wonderful to work with. The back deck is huge. The neighborhood is quite and the sunsets from the pier on the sound side are amazing. We have VRBO'd more than the average and this is easily in the top two places we have ever stayed.

This is our second summer booking this home and we love it. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the outdoor space is amazing & great for hanging out, outdoor shower is fabulous (not sure we ever used the indoor ones), & the beach parking access makes things sooo much easier.
