Great place to stay for parties around 6-8!
While this property isn't right on the water, there's a great little walkway directly to the beach access. We happened to stay while a cyclone ripped through the area, so keep in mind that this walkway can get flooded during the rainy season. Even so, it's easy enough to just take the road around the block. We loved having the ping pong area in the basement, and having the house pre-stocked with necessities was a major plus. There were some bikes on the property that worked great, and we even took the corn hole to the beach. Last, David and Biljana are amazing and responsive, I highly recommend the place!

Absolutely wonderful
We had a fabulous time! The house was beautiful and so spacious. Everything we needed was supplied. There was a cabinet of board games and a game room downstairs. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and appliances that made it easy to cook and serve food. The host was communicative even before we checked in. It was a dream vacation!

The Perfect First Visit to Emerald Isle
We ventured to Emerald Isle with another family and was impressed with the vacation home. The home was clean, spacious, comfortable, and accommodating. The host communicated with us prior to arriving and that gave us comfort with asking questions about our stay and protocol. We adored the shady walk to the beach and found it to be easy & quick for 4-6 year olds. We would recommend this home and host without hesitation and hope that we can return annually.

Can’t beat the location or house set up!
A fantastic location! Awesome amenities at the house. Loved the split level set up — game room on first, bedrooms on second, kitchen/living on third. Porches galore! We especially enjoyed them in the evenings and mornings. Beach was an easy/short walk for all ages (3 to 70). So many toys, chairs, bike offerings at the house too. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again.

Unprofessionalism With Property Manager
The place itself was lovely, in a great location and there were ample activities at the house to use, although half the bikes were barely holding together. The positives end there. Apparently one of our friends broke a patio seat. I apologized and told her to run it through the insurance. This did not stop them from sending multiple texts lecturing us about it. I thought that was the end of it, a lecture from someone that isn’t my mother, but no. A month after my stay I receive a text asking to mail back a Roku remote we “stole”. I don’t know why she would think we stole a cheap remote from her place, maybe because we are young 20 somethings that supposedly broke a chair, that insurance covered. This text a month later was completely unprofessional and completely uncalled for, because story didn’t even ask if we had it, they just assumed, telling us to mail it back. I would recommend this place if you are staying with a family maybe, but staying with friends and being treated like a child is not okay in any respect. We paid a pretty penny for the place, and bought insurance for the off-chance something did happen, and it covered the patio chairs. I do not need to be inappropriately lectured for the chair nor the remote we didn’t steal. In short, I would not stay here again because the professionalism was not there.

10/10 Would Recommend!
My family of 6 stayed for 6 days and would certainly recommend this place to anyone, with kids or not. My kids walked to the beach every single day, we had game night upstairs regularly, soaked up the sun on every deck, and just made memories we will never forget. <3 Thank you so much for sharing your incredible home!

Lovely property, but some of the mattresses were really uncomfortable, and the broken toilet was an irritant. Kitchen is totally not functional if you plan to do much cooking, but for a vacation rental it was adequate.

Spring break
This house and location were great! The owners check on us and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were so pleasant and communication was quick! We found the property to be clean and very comfortable- a true home away from home. We loved the quiet and seclusion. Plenty of things to do, but the beaches were the best! We could have easily stayed for another week. Thanks for an amazing trip!!

Wonderful private home
We stayed for a family weekend wedding. Biljana was wonderful to work with, it was a plus for us being in the same neighborhood as my parents home. This home is very spacious and private with all the trees. Everyone was comfortable with sleeping. Master shower is great!!! Highly recommend this property. Lots of space in the well equipped kitchen. Loved the wine refrigerator to keep your drinks cold.

Reunion
The house was really nice. We were not coming from home. We were coming from DC when we found out that we needed to furnish our own towels and sheets. When we let the owners know the situation They came through with sheets and towels witch saved us from having to go out and purchase them.

A slice of heaven
We have stayed at numerous places on different beaches but this one was by far the most amazing. Every single inch of that pace was gorgeous, so well thought out and bedrooms were spacious and even a deck off the master besides a large deck off the living room and a front deck. Not loud and busy but a great home away from home and can’t wait to save my Pennie’s for next summer❤️couldn’t have been any better at all. Just the huge kitchen island was awesome. Seated six stools on the one side of it. ❤️loved it.

We had a wonderful time! The house was a great location. It was a short shaded walk to the beach. It was so quiet and relaxing at the house too. We had plenty of room for all 6 of us. We liked that the house had beach chairs and beach cart that we could use. Whenever we texted the owners there was a quick response. The ping pong table provided a fun family game night! We would definitely stay here again!

Family week
We had a wonderful time at the beach. The house fit us very well. We had our two young married sons with their wives (one set flying in from Seattle and the other driving up from Chattanooga) and our other two single children. We ate in all our meals and the kitchen and living area served us very well for doing that. The walk to the beach is shaded and the beach is stunning. The four new beach chairs are wonderful... backpack chairs. A week of memories!
