Lovely beach getaway

We had a wonderful family vacation at Tara and Jason's beach house on Emerald Isle. The home has breathtaking views of the ocean and is clean and well-stocked. Tara is a great communicator and ensured everything went smoothly. She's made quite a few updates since the last time we rented the duplex - the appliances are new, the faucets have great water pressure (and the outdoor shower has hot water and lighting) and the bedrooms have modern lights/fans and comfy beds. The deck also had plenty of seating to enjoy the view. Totally recommend this place and hope to stay here again in the future!

The perfect beach front home!

This beautiful home was exactly as advertised, except that the photos don’t do it justice. Upon entering the space we were met immediately with the most gorgeous views! There were also very special personal touches left just for our group. The space was clean, well maintained, well stocked with all needed essentials, and many thoughtful extras as well. My family and I stayed for 2 weeks, and we didn’t want to leave. I really can’t say enough about how perfect it was. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed place that feels like home, this is the one. If you’re questioning it, don’t, just hit book! You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back!

Even better than expected!

Just steps to the beach! The house, the views, the neighborhood, the communication with the owners -- the entire stay was even better than we expected! We cannot wait to return and have already recommended the property several times to friends. The main living spaces would be a bit small for a large group, but plenty of deck space to spread out if the weather is good. We stayed this time just the two of us, to confirm it would be a convenient house to return with our little ones, and the proximity to the beach and groceries will be such a wonderful convenience when returning with kids. Already looking forward to our next stay!

1st Visit to Emerald Isle

It was great !! Walk in the door and the big picture windows give you a beautiful view of the ocean right at your back door. Our family of 10 ranged from 64 years - 2 1/2. There was plenty of room for all. The owners live close by and will help you with whatever you might need. Emerald Isle offers a big variety of things to do with the kids and lots of good places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our week

Great place to unwind and reconnect with family!

We all really enjoyed the laid back, slow pace of Emerald Isle. It was the perfect place for our multi generation visit including grandparents, great grands, and children. We all had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the deck, balconies and beach front. Would definitely return for another stay.

Beautiful beach house

We loved this beach house. It was clean, and all the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. We cooked every day and the kitchen was great. Our favorite place at this house was the deck. It was large, with shade and sun areas. There were plenty of chairs and we could see the ocean and the sky over the sound side too! We saw dolphins a few times, and really enjoyed the deck when we weren’t on the beach. I have a disability and am currently using a walker, so having a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor was so helpful. The whole experience was great!!

Fabulous Getaway

If you are searching for a house that is just steps away from the beach and has beautiful views from almost every room then look no further! This duplex is very clean and comfortable. The online pictures do not do it justice. The house is nicely furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. The two decks offer plenty of outdoor seating for dolphin watching and star gazing. The owner responds quickly to messages and is very accommodating. We had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to returning.

Perfect stay on Emerald Isle

This is a clean, well maintained property --- and the location couldn't be better! This home comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 4 children, although a full house might be a little tight on a rainy day. The main room and queen and king bedrooms each have a lovely view of the beach. Kitchen is well equipped, and every room is comfortable.

Adorable duplex right on the ocean! We went for a socially distanced vacation, so the little beach town was perfect.
