We booked this beach house as a last minute family trip. It could not have been better! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Whenever I had a question the response from Tony was always quick. The beach chairs and beach toys were super nice to have there already so we only had to bring a few more. Everything was great, Iā€™d highly recommend anyone to stay in this house if you have a big crowd!

The house was beautiful and clean, had stunning views and was so peaceful! The only issue we had was that we booked this house for November for the heated pool, only to be told after we had arrived by the pool cleaners that we had to pay extra for it to have been heated. Which was incredibly disappointing as it was listed as a ā€œheated poolā€ in the description and not an ā€œoptional heatedā€. Overall we loved the house, and would love to stay again in the future, but we wished they had been more transparent in their amenities.

Multi generational family beach vacation

This is an excellent property for a large multigenerational family vacation. The two bunk rooms were perfect for the boy and girl cousins. The king rooms with their attached bathrooms were just right for moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas. Beach access, pool, hot tub and location close to shopping and attractions were big bonuses.

Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend and this home was the perfect place to hold our small wedding. Our wedding party stayed at the house with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The host Tony was extremely nice and helpful to make this a great weekend for a special occasion for me and my husband. We loved this home and look forward to renting it again in the future!

Senior Trip for College Prep

We had an overall good stay! We took a group of graduating seniors for a weekend getaway to help them prepare for college. The house is very spacious and fit our needs. The neighborhood is awesome and the proximity to the beach is great! We enjoyed the hot tub and the ping pong table. Our only real complaint was that the house could have been cleaner. We found hair in shower and in the bed. There were signs of wear and tear in places as well. I would recommend this house for large groups!

Perfect for Multiple Families

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house in Emerald Isle, NC. Hereā€™s a breakdown of our experience: The Good Location: The location is simply amazing! We loved the easy access to the bike trail and paddle boarding in Swansboro. Beach and Pool Access: Being right on the beach was fantastic, and having a pool was a great bonus for the kids. Spaciousness: The house is perfect for multiple families. There was plenty of space for everyone, and we never felt crowded. Kitchen Amenities: The kitchen had ample storage space, and the two full refrigerators were incredibly convenient for our large group. Needs Improvement Back Door Inoperability: The back door on the main floor is not functional, which is a significant egress issue that should be addressed immediately. The other door on the main floor is also difficult to open, posing a safety concern in an emergency. Cleanliness: One of the bedrooms had dirty sheets, which we had to wash ourselves upon arrival. Electrical Issues: We encountered several electrical issues, including a day without electricity in one room and losing WiFi on our last day. Some outlets were unreliable and did not consistently charge our electronics. Overall, our experience was positive, and we had a fantastic time enjoying the beach and the amenities. Addressing the mentioned concerns would make this rental even better for future guests.

Amazing beach house and owner

We had an amazing time at this beach house. The pool, hot tub and amazing views where awesome! This has to be one of the best beach front houses at Emerald Isle! The owner Tony was the best! Any questions I had he was very quick to respond he also help us book some kayaking, jet skiing, and shark tooth island adventures. Tony was great. Possibly the best vacation we ever had at Emerald Isle!!

Wouldnā€™t recommend

Unfortunately we were disappointed with this house. It was not the luxury it claimed - home needs lots of repair and updates. There were ants, rug was dirty. The main sliding glass door to the porch was incredibly challenging to open and close - with young children and elderly parents this was a real issue.
