Here are a few kind words from past guests: From Anna, August 2024 "Even better than the pictures! We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to come back. This was our 8th time in Emerald Isle and by far the best place we’ve stayed. The condo itself is beautiful and has anything you could need. We loved sitting out in the back porch overlooking the pool and reading in the swing chairs out front. The beach was a very short walk away! We will definitely come back."
From Sayna, September 2024 "Second year in a row staying here for my birthday weekend!! It’s a perfect home away from home for any family! I highly recommend this vacation rental for its location & superb customer service! Josh & Cara are just the best!! We look forward to staying here again next year, if not sooner. ☀️🏖️🌴"

Great stay
We had an amazing stay in Emerald Isle. Josh and Cara were very quick to get back with me when I had questions. The place was very clean and updated. The kids loved the arcade and the pool that was located right outside the door. They had everything you would need for the beach including chairs, a cart, and a shibumi. There were only a few negatives about the stay. The first thing was that there is an alcohol store located directly below the condo and they play music all day long until 9:00pm. You can hear the music and bass played all day while sitting in the living room area. The water pressure wasn't great in the building. The showers had low water pressure as well as the main kitchen sink. The master bedroom had a nice bathroom attached but they have a sliding barn door that won't close all the way and you can see right through. There is not much privacy for anything because you can't fully close the door.

Great property, exactly as advertised
This property was perfect for our family’s weekend trip to EI! Very clean, stocked with all the essentials and several extras that made our trip a breeze. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to restaurants, shops, and to the beach. I love the walking/biking trails all over the island. It was so nice to grab a pizza from Kostas and beverages from the bottle shop right downstairs on our first night and relax stress free by the pool.

Everything was amazing!
My family (husband and kids ages 5, 7, & 12) and I stayed in this condo for a week. Check in process was very easy, the condo was super clean, and it had everything that we needed. Location was fantastic! It was only about a 4-5 minute walk to the beach as well as super close to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, etc. Highly recommend this condo, we are already planning our next visit!

Relaxing getaway
We had a fantastic visit. The condo is in a great location, an easy walk to the beach in one direction and to two supermarkets and several restaurants in the other. It’s so pretty inside - everything is beach themed, and the hosts thought of everything that one may need while there. The balconies were perfect for coffee while watching the sunrise, or for a simple lunch. We had a couple of questions for the host, and they responded within a matter of minutes.
We will certainly stay here again if we return to the area.

As Good As It Gets!
This new townhome was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. Josh and Cara have thought of everything! We have always stayed oceanfront or oceanview, but this unit was no problem, as it was an easy walk to the beach access. The location is also perfect for biking, putt-putt, or a quick trip to the store. This rental is sure to please.

Great stay!
We enjoyed our trip to EI. The owners were great to work with and provided everything we needed. They also provided extra linens, towels and dish towels. It was chilly and the extra blankets came in handy. The beds were very comfy! The reason we picked this condo was the 2 king beds. Great accommodations but be ready for the steps! Will stay again!

Nice stay...Aug 6th through 10th
Everything was new and clean and as described/shown online. Condo decorated perfectly for the beach. The kids (teens) enjoyed the convenience of the pool and first level shops. The ice vending machine is very convenient as well. Owners very responsive to all my inquiries. As always, an enjoyable stay at Emerald Isle.

Great place with a great location!
This condo is lovely. It is new and clean. Be prepared for lots of stairs though! We loved the location in proximity to the beach! The beach had a nice access and bathrooms/showers. It was so nice to have a beach cart and chairs to use.
Josh and Cara were always a text away for any questions. The door locks were a bit tricky but we quickly learned how to make them work. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing!
The pool was right outside which made it nice to take a quick dip. It was nice to having parking readily available too. These condos are definitely in a great location to everything. Stores are close by.
The pizza shop below was great. We were a bit disappointed in the area restaurants but you have plenty of options off island that were great! Be sure to check out the local ice cream shops that were amazing!
Overall we had a great stay! Highly recommend!

Perfect stay for a relaxing vacation
This house is beautiful! It is exactly as described. We loved the convenience of the pool as well as the adorable shops below. On Friday night there was a man singing with his guitar right below the front deck off of the kitchen. Adult slushies, pizza, coffee and candy shops were daily stops for us. The proximity to the beach was ideal. The public beach entrance offered clean bathrooms, vending machines and outdoor showers to rinse off. It was helpful that the house offers a beach chair and some beach toys as well as bed linens and bath towels. This saved a ton of room in our car. The bedroom with the game system was adorable and needed for the rainy nights. Our only complaint would be that the water pressure was very low and so dishes and showers took a while.
Communication with the owners was easy and fast.
Emerald Isle is beautiful but small. We rented a gas-run golf cart and had a ton of fun just driving around looking at the different houses. Restaurant options were limited and unfortunately all we did try were quite disappointing.
Overall, the house is perfect; modern, clean and convenient. Highly recommend for a laid back vacation.
