This location is fantastic. It’s close to everything including beach but secluded as well. It’s the last house on a dead end street with horses and chickens as neighbors. Very quiet neighborhood but very friendly neighbors

Ideal setting, seclusion, and a securely fenced yard!

The diligent housekeeping created an atmosphere that was both warm and welcoming. Our family delighted in outdoor pleasures, such as the fire pit and bean bag toss, while exploring the charming locales of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, and Morehead City.

Loved the house with the fire pit. The kids love sitting out there around the fire. House was very clean and they were very generous with giving courtesy kcups, and a very kind welcome gift. Be sure to ask where the entrance to the water is and also the play ground. We did t need them this round. But if we did we would have needed directions. Great stay and very comfortable!

When we arrived, we were welcomed with chocolate and a bottle of wine. The house was very clean and cozy. The host was wonderful and quick to answer questions. Absolutely loved relaxing on the back porch and could have sat in that egg chair all day. It’s a very peaceful area at the end of the road right around the corner from sound access. While in the area, I definitely recommend visiting The Friendly Market for tasty local goodies! Overall extremely happy with our stay!
