Private sanctuary
This place is amazing! The house is spacious and well appointed, the huge back deck was wonderful to sit and take in the view. The beach is a 2 min stroll through the dunes, so fun, then you emerge onto the expanse of sand that is the beach (HUGE) which we had essentially entirely to ourselves. It was just a couple of nights but it felt longer, we were able to really relax and leave it all behind. We are already planing to come back in the Summer for a full week. Such a great vibe!

Perfect end of summer stay
Our family spent 5 nights at the property in the end of August. We were welcomed by a colorful facade and the back doors opened to the great outdoors. Deer, bunnies, squirrels among the fire pit and all a view from the sprawling back porch. Beyond the backyard were the dunes which led to the gorgeous beaches of Emerald Isle. This oceanfront property allowed us to be spoiled and still feel at home. It came with every amenity, when you’re normally worrying about bringing ziplocs and paper towels, it was stocked with everything from a salad spinner to keurig pods and margarita glasses. The bathrooms and bedrooms were comfortable and homey, updated and had a fun beach feel. The closets were spacious and kid’s room a relaxing retreat with 2 full beds bunked for extra space to play with their stocked puzzles and toys. Beds were comfortable and extra blankets were provided. The place has just recently been renovated, and the cleaning was wonderful. We usually have to wipe and pre-clean, but this has been thoughtfully prepared in every way. Spacious and light, allows for big meals and late nights on the back swing ! Thank you for this end of summer retreat!
