A visit to the Beehive
This is our second visit to this property this year and we enjoyed it very much. However, I would strongly recommend that the king bed be replaced as it is very uncomfortable and ruins your sleep each night. The accommodations are too nice to have it blemished by a very uncomfortable bed. Suggest a sleep number bed to replace the existing king bed.

Beach Hive Review
Apartment was well kept with excellent view of the ocean. We ate dinner on balcony each night of our stay. King bed was very comfortable. We slept in every morning. The only issues that you may want to address are not enough silverware, need larger coffee/ tea mugs, larger cereal bowls and extra blankets. It was a wonderful week, perfect weather and ocean temperature. Thank you for your hospitality.

Wonderful!
This condo with an amazing ocean view is perfect for a beach vacation! The owners have obviously prioritized the amenities that are most important to guests! The newly renovated bathrooms are amazing, as is the kitchen! The new washer and dryer are definitely appreciated! The bar-height table and chairs on the balcony, which also look new, provide a beautiful ocean view!The master bedroom mattress is incredibly comfortable, while the master bedroom also has a great ocean view. cleanliness is high on my list of priorities, and this condo is incredibly clean! A big plus is that you will have your feet in the sand on the beach by walking less than two minutes! also, the owner is very communicative and responsive! I would definitely return here!

Beach Hive stay
We had a great visit and time at this property. A few suggestions: - A large skillet would be great - we only had the 2 small skillets and it was difficult to make large meals. - The water pressure for the shower in the 2nd bathroom was so weak that we were not able to take showers there. - I never did get a response to a question I had about whether beach chairs were available at the property. I emailed the owners and called the property management company and received no response from either. Other than this, the place was great and we were very happy with it. I especially loved the easy access to the beach for walks on the beach. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Condo!
The Condo was just as described and our family loved the easy beach access and the pool. I was not expecting the kitchen to be as bare as it was besides salt,pepper, vegetable oil, and a couple other spices in a cabinet so we had to go to the Publix across the street to get everything we needed to make meals, right down to aluminum foil. There was also barely any dish soap to handwash big pots and pans, only one old sponge and no replacements or dishrags to wash dishes with, and no trash bags for the kitchen trashcan so I had to buy those as well. Im used to the kitchen being stocked with the minumim needed supplies in condos we have stayed at in the past so was a little disappointed about that.

Great space; limited accessibility
Lovely condo that has plenty of space for seating and bedroom setup is nice. Got a great view of the ocean from the balcony without having to be oceanfront. Brownie points that there was a safety net attached to the balcony for little kids and felt safe that my kids could go out and not have to worry. Some areas could improve on: kitchen had bare essentials for cooking. Oil, salt, pepper was it. Would be nice to be provided with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, cooking spray, and clean unused sponges. Also, the accessibility was tough to get by. To get to the pool there is about 12 steps down a steep stairway. Also there was many stairs to get to the beach from our access point. It worked ok since our kids were older but if we had any younger or had health issues then I would reconsider the location. Lastly, the shed was a huge bonus stocked with great chairs, beach games, and sand toys. However a map or explanation as to where the shed is at would have been helpful. In our listing it says “under the condo on ground floor” but I found myself exploring where exactly it was at. Overall great stay and felt relaxed.

Peaceful retreat at the beach
The unit is exactly as described, and a great location in Emerald Isle--a few steps away from an uncrowded beach, and within walking distance to several restaurants and grocery stores. The weather wasn't ideal for beach weather during our stay, but the unit was a wonderful second-choice option, and worked out very nicely. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

Great stay
Our family of 3 (2 adults and a 6-year-old) really enjoyed our stay. Unbelievable view of the ocean. I felt like I could reach out and touch it. Plenty of comfortable balcony furniture perfect for enjoying the view. It was excellent the building had an elevator and it was also pretty great that the ground floor storage was available for ocean & pool items. It was also pretty nice there were some items in the storage shed for use. We thought the beds were comfortable and that everything we needed was available during our stay. I was impressed with the availability of games and books. The host was responsive when I had a question or 2. As far as the beach, it was great. I never felt like we were crowded. A bit more narrow than the Atlantic Beach end but still plenty of sand. People were friendly For any future VRBO'ers - to find the ground floor storage, you have to go through the "tunnel like" areas by the elevator. Start at the area near the elevator to the far left (facing the building from the parking lot). There is a "tunnel" at the far left of the building; walk over the knee-high wall and go straight through the tunnel to the back of the building (you will be able to see the pool). Then make a 180 turn to your right and walk in that "tunnel". Storage unit is the first closet on the right. It took us a while to figure out that you had to walk all the way around the building and the storage areas were also facing the back of the building on the pool side as well.

Wonderful Stay!!
This was our first visit to Emerald Isle but definitely won't be our last. We had a little trouble getting in touch with rental office but after that everything was smooth sailing. Condo was perfect, just as advertised. Clean and updated! We really enjoyed our stay there and won't be the last time we're there to relax.

Absolutely perfect!!! The unit is exactly as described. Perfect size for a couple or 2. Clean and well decorated. The view from the deck is incredible! Plenty of places to eat nearby. Do yourself a favor and walk to the Surfs Up Bar & Grill attached to the pier. Order the sweet & spicy shrimp and the grouper platter. You can thank me later!
