Perfect on the Beach Stay

This house was wonderful! There were only four of us and barely used a 1/3 the house! Mattresses super comfortable with plenty of sheets, blankets and nice bath towels. Got to sleep with sliders open for ocean sounds. The patio had nice & plenty of chairs. Also bonus was ice maker, Brita water (we usually have to haul water & ice with us), binoculars, ziplock backs & spices! Kitchen is perfect layout and island great for multiple cooks in the kitchen. One of the best stocked houses we’ve stayed at. The top “kids” loft was amazing - need to bring all the cousins next time. Tons of space for everyone! And as it reads, this direct private access to a clean, beauty beach!

Family gathering

I didn’t realize it was half a house. I didn’t realize we had to make our own beds and strip the sheets at the end. Didn’t mind garbage duty. We are careful people so we stressed over all the posted signs of dos and don’t’s. Not enough towels, wash rags or blankets - glad we brought our own. Beautiful views. Nice seating out doors.

Great place, as described

This house was great for our family. The owner’s have baby gear which they allow their guests to use (including a baby monitor). The third/top floor was the best feature—four twin beds and one queen bed. The older kids loved camping out up there. The house has nice beach chairs and a box of beach toys, so we didn’t need to bring any gear. They have basic kitchen supplies like salt and pepper, coffee filters, Ziploc bags, Saran Wrap. So it’s nice in that aspect, whereas other vrbos have zero items, and you have to buy anew every time. The kitchen as well-stocked with any cooking supplies we needed. The walk to the beach was great/easy. Hosts are very responsive.

Beachfront Fun

The house was well maintained, with plenty of room for our entire group of nine guys. The location is extremely convenient and the private deck is a nice feature for private beach access and relaxing in view of the ocean. We had an excellent time and would definitely rent here again in the future.

Amazing Beach Getaway

We loved our time in Emerald Isle. This was a first for us. We had family from all over the world and many age ranges. The beds were comfortable, the house was quiet when younger kiddos needed to sleep, and the house had everything we could need. The owner was so kind and provided great insights. The location of this house right on the beach is absolutely amazing. We also found incredible shells on the beach. This home allowed for so many memories to be created, thank you. We hope to return.

We enjoyed our stay at Seaside Sanctuary.

Perfect for family

The property owners were proactive in communicating with me about our stay. The property was easily located and provided plenty of parking for our family (5 vehicles). You can see the ocean from the living room, dining room and kitchen; as well as two bedrooms and the great big room that has five beds. Overall, we loved it!

Seaside Sanctuary was just that . . . a cozy, peaceful sanctuary I returned to at the end of very busy, business filled days in Morehead City. It was a delight to stay in this lovely home with the ocean as my backyard. The home was clean, organized, and equipped with everything you need for a great time at the beach! You can tell the hosts love their home. Chris was very kind and responsive. Stay at Seaside Sanctuary - you will love it!
