Unbelievably Beautiful

What an incredible property! The view of the Sound was incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed the water and the wildlife. And, with a short walk to the ocean and beach, we felt like we had the best of both worlds. The beach was amazing!

Perfect House on the Sound Side of Emerald Isle!

Stayed for a week. Nicely stocked kitchen. Good location, nice dock right on the sound with a private canal. Peaceful and quiet. Short walk to the beach! Bring the bug spray for outside! Hope to stay again in the future!

Amazing house on the sound

Wonderful stay, clean, kitchen well stocked. Views for sunrise and sunset were splendid. Dinners on the deck, gathering under the house in the evenings, kayaking from the house, dinner in the kitchen while we can still see the views was all great. We biked up and down the island and walked on the beach. It is a bit of a hike to get to the beach if you have children or older guests. One of my favorite beach ( sound) houses. I hope to be back.

Great view and location

Great set up/ layout of house. Very clean. View of sound just wonderful! Nice dock and relaxing areas! If you have a large boat (greater than 17ft) driveway entrance impossible to navigate. Mattresses could be more comfortable for sure. Other than the boat access issue and mattresses being uncomfortable, this house was absolutely great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the best locations you can find on the Island, great view from the upper deck. There is a public boat ramp right there to lauch whatever you have, we used SUPS and am inflatable Kayak to paddle around Bogue sound and over to Long Island located nearly in front of the house. The only downside was the AC unit location, hot air is always blowing up through the deck floor and you can hear it constanly running from the lower sitting area. Other than that its a great place to spend your vacation, convenient to anything you need.

A Great Last Minute Choice

My wife & I had to head down to the area and it was on short notice. We didn’t want to stay with the rest of the family in the large house & the place we normally stay was booked so we took a chance on this place. The home was older, which we knew & expected from the pictures, etc, but it was well taken care of. There were a few small minor hiccups, which is to be expected, but the management team was responsive, which is all you really need. The view outback was relaxing & the noise you hear is only really animals, lol. The only major downside is that I couldn’t catch any fish off of the pier. While the stay wasn’t perfect, we are comfortable with a 9 - 9.5 out of 10. The place is centrally located, plenty of parking, easy to find & great management,

Lovely House on the Sound

The house was splendid for our family. We had five adults, a 12 year old, and a 7 year old. We had plenty of room, the mutual space was great. Two full bathrooms, nice kitchen, comfy living room. I would have liked more towels, toilet paper, etc. We only got one towel per person, and one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. For a 5 day stay it would have been helpful to have more. Lovely area, close walk to the beach access. Had an issue with our sink not draining, the property manager was on top of it and it was fixed first thing in the morning. She even left us a little treat to apologize for the inconvenience. Great communication and both she and the man who fixed the sink were polite. Would stay here again, preferably not during Hurricane Debby.

Bogue Sound

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bogue Sound Cottage was welcoming and relaxing. This 4 bedroom, 4 bath cottage on stilts is pleasant and unpretentious. The property was clean and provided ample supplies throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved the double oven! The property manager was quick to respond to my calls. The main gathering area could use a bit more seating. The beach was an easy walk across the street and the Sound offered pleasant views. The automated awning was very much appreciated on the back deck when the sun was high! Be sure to bring a kayak or small skiff for boating. Larger boats seemed to be a challenge from the ramp next door.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The views were so beautiful and the house was a great location for our family of 6. Bringing our fur babies was a nice addition to our vacation. Although overall our stay was nice, I do feel I need to mention a few items that we were not aware of prior to booking. The description shows the dock with a place with water and electricity. We found no water or electricity and the sink was non functional or even connected. Also, there a roaches in the house which was something that made our stay unpleasant. Going home now to leave our luggage in the carport to make sure we didn’t bring them home with us. Lastly, we do realize that having outdoor cameras is to protect the homeowners so they can watch their property, having one at the outdoor sitting area, pointing toward the outdoor shower felt like an invasion of privacy. Overall, a lovely house, but updates need to be made and you should disclose that you do have outdoor cameras in other areas besides just at your front door facing the road. Grill worked great but grates were very rusted. Emerald Isle is a place we all love and this year we tried the sound side. Sunsets were amazing!
