We really enjoyed staying at this beach house. Spent time fishing and crabbing off dock. Played the shuffleboard table for hours. Went to the beach and took walks around the neighborhood. The house was very clean and well appointed. Good communication with hosts. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

The house was just as described. It was spacious and everything you could want. Our family of 5 stayed in the home. Our three daughters all slept upstairs and each one having their own room was a plus. We loved having the bikes to be able to ride them to breakfast and dinner. The location was perfect. 4th of July fireworks on the beach were unlike anything I have seen. Didn't know which way to look with all of them going off. It was spectacular. The beach was beautiful and not a far walk at all. We took a short drive to Swansboro- loved the town. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Communication with the host was great. Thank you for sharing your home!

12/10 Vacation, with Entertainment for our Family Gathering, Ages 4-84.
I use VRBO almost exclusively for vacation stays, and this is the best VRBO rental experience I have had (and that’s a high standard, as I have been fortunate to have had many lovely vacation experiences through VRBO). The property is exactly as described, and Sarah was beyond excellent in communicating with us. She was prompt in answering a few questions we had, as well as flexible and kind with a few scheduling issues we faced during the trip. Her aim was to provide a stress free experience for us, and we so appreciated that. The property is *perfect* for families, especially those with kids who may need some extra space for their own rooms but close and connected to the parents room. The kitchen was generously supplied with pots, pans, and even lovely decorative dishes with beach themes that we used to host a small family reunion gathering at the rental one evening of the stay. If you have kids, the lily pond will provide endless entertainment for exploration while you can swing in the breeze right by the pond. The pier will provide the same chance to check out crabs and other water creatures, and there are bunnies hopping all around (at least during June). We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks but that’s next on our list the next time we visit. Finally, beach access is a very short walk, but we rented a golf cart (easy process for first-timers like us), and that was a highlight for my 4-year-old. Many thanks to Sarah for a 12/10 stay!

Wonderful Home!
I stayed here with a group of college friends to celebrate a big birthday together. The house was wonderful. We enjoyed the deck facing the marsh every night, cooked meals in the well equipped kitchen, took advantage of the kayaks and bikes and felt right at home. We did rent a golf cart which helped us get our stuff to and from the beach (which is easily walkable without all the gear). Sarah, the owner, was always super responsive and helpful. It was a great stay and I highly recommend it.

Don’t Hesitate Booking
We LOVED our stay here. The house had plenty of room for our family of 7. We had room to spread out, but the living room and dining room also gave us the option to spend time together. The covered patio was a family hangout favorite for us. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, and the house had proximity to anything we needed. We would stay here again in a heart beat. We would absolutely recommend this house, and Emerald Isle.

Absolutely Perfect
Description of the property along with the reviews are spot on. Sarah couldn't have communicated with us any better and our stay was excellent. The biggest takeaways were the great views of the intracoastal throughout the home, cleanliness, beautiful and unique property, and the availability of everything you need for your stay. We didn't even use the beach towels we brought and were able to cook multiple meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Overall though, the owner was superb and even went through all the trouble to immediately mail some items we left at the property. Perfect stay.

Peaceful spot for family gathering
This lovely, Emerald Isle house is located on Archer Creek--a salt marsh tributary that leads to the intercoastal sound. The house was clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful. The beach is a short bike ride away (on the fleet of single-speed, wide tire, adult bikes that are available at the house. A trailer attached to one of the bikes carried all our gear). The configuration of bedrooms upstairs is really best for a family. One of the bedrooms (the one with the full size bed) is only accessible by cutting through one or the other of the bedrooms (with queen or twin beds). We were fine with it, so it worked for us. The house has many different hangout spaces--so plenty of options for groups to gather, or find a little space apart. There are several different decks--a spacious one at the entry for catching beach gear and hanging out while waiting for your turn at the wonderful outdoor shower; the deck in the back has a view of the marsh and sunset with tables for cocktails and dining (along with a very nice, multi-fuel grill), and the one off the upstairs queen bedroom--perfect for early morning yoga. Sitting out on the dock in the salt marsh in the early am, or paddling on Archer Creek in the kayaks provided was also delightful. Sarah was prompt and helpful in all her correspondence. We would definitely return to this delightful home on Emerald Isle!

Family Beach Trip
I enjoyed my trip to Emerald Isle and my stay at this property. I visited for a week with my husband, two small children, and my parents. They layout of the house worked well for us. My husband and our children stayed in the upstairs bedrooms and the fact that they are connected worked well for us. My parents stayed in the downstairs bedroom and were able to have some privacy. The only part of the house that didn’t work well for small children was the bathtub. There is only one bathtub in the house and it’s an older, jetted tub. It’s very deep and it’s difficult to bathe small children in it. The house is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and you do need to cross a main road. We rented a golf cart which made things much easier. There is plenty of golf cart parking at the beach access. My five year old enjoyed exploring the frog pond and dock, but we did find that even with bug repellent on we got quite a few bites. The house is also within easy driving distance to the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Macon, both of which were interesting day trips. The house was clean, as were all of the linens. We did encounter some bugs in the kitchen, bathroom, and front room. The owners have been working with an exterminator, so hopefully they will be cleared up soon. Overall, we had a lovely time at this house.

This was a very unique house with plenty of space for the whole family. There were so many cool living spaces between the outside decks, sunroom, 2 living rooms and outside areas...we had room to spread out and enjoy our Thanksgiving Holiday. We were especially impressed at how comprehensive the kitchen was from bakeware to gadgets to glassware! My son brought his small skiff and was able to dock it at the house, and we enjoyed the use of the 6 bikes to get to the beach and explore the island. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations.
