Beautiful location with comfortable furnishings and nice deck furniture. House was not clean, sand in the beds, issues with HVAC, needs indoor repairs which were reported but left undone (towel rack stopped up bath tub).All pots, pans are in need of replacement. Size of bedrooms are deceiving in online photos.

The view and location is great, house is okay

Overall, the location and view is what makes this place worth it! The driveway is incredibly steep and wprth mentioning as some may not feel comfortable driving up it. The mattresses and pillows need to be upgraded!! After a long day on the beach they do not cut it by any stretch of the imagination. All the toilet paper holders were broken, and we continued to run iut of hot water so we had to stagger showers throughout the week or you were in for a cold surprise. The kitchen could also use upgrades in terms of dishes, cookware, etc. Outside and the location was great, but neither grill worked very well and both need to be replaced.

Amazing views, clean and spacious, perfect for groups

I stayed with a few friends for a spiritual retreat, and this house was perfect. Owners were very kind, responsive, and accommodating. The house was clean and spacious, with two kitchens and two living rooms that connect via a door, which enabled us to have separate gatherings and conversations when we wanted. The pool was heated! The best part was the view of and access to the beach. I’ve stayed at oceanfront homes but none with such close views of the waves and quick access to the beach. We hope to come back soon! 10/10.

Great owner and property management support!!

This was the 2nd time staying here and it did not disappoint once again. House has tons of room, lots of parking and the views are incredible. Unfortunately, 1 of the units had a mechanical failure on one of the upstairs AC's but the property management effort and immediate response was spot on the money. They made things right, they stayed and worked until we were happy. The unit was repaired ASAP and communication was A. No complaints whatsoever and would love the opportunity to stay here again!!

Beautiful Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pinnacle and it was perfectly set up for our family. The beautiful large back decks were wonderful for enjoying your morning coffee and watching the sun rise. Both kitchens are fully stocked with everything you could need and stores are located within walking/biking distance or a quick 5 minute drive. The pool was picturesque and the hot tub was wonderful for evening soaks after pool time. Only negative we had was there was quite a bit of garbage in the dunes so we tried to clean some of that up and a few bugs on the exterior of the home that we noticed but that was it! My sister-in-law accidentally left something at the house after our check out and the host graciously allowed us access to retrieve those items. 10/10 we would stay again and hope to next year!

Great house and great location

Everything was great except the cleanliness when we arrived. A lot of trash was left behind and the pool and hottub were pretty dirty as well. The house and property were 10/10 though. Would definitely go again. If it were clean - easy 5 stars.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Location is perfect. Views are spectacular. Cleaning crew worked right until the 4pm check in time because "the previous occupants left the place a mess." They did an awesome job. The house was spotless when we checked in. We found two small plumbing issues the day we checked in, and the management company had them corrected the next morning seamlessly. Overall, an awesome experience and we would gladly go back.

Amazing location and house for family reunion

Fantastic location, we all enjoyed being on the beach and using the pool and hottub. House well appointed and allowed for different age groups to relax. A suggestion would be to power wash the carport area by the driveway and also the trash cans. Thank you for a wonderful setting for great family memories!

"Family Memories, Family Fun with Fabulous Ocean Views"

Our family has been going to the Emerald Isle area for over 30 years and "The Pinnacle" has the best view of the ocean we have ever stayed at. You can be on any floor of the home and have an amazing view. The pool and hot tub were marvelous. The home was clean and had all the kitchen utensils, bedding and toiletries we needed. "Best value in Emerald Isle".Looking forward to our next visit.

everything was fine...however, the outside areas especially the outside shower areas and furniture were dirty old inflatables, water bottles leaves around the pool area. Bedding and towels were incredibly shabby, sheets did not fit beds properly and pillows were honestly just bad and towels need upgrading. The overall experience was fine, management was very responsive.

What More Can You Ask For?

My family decided to take a quick, early-year getaway down to Emerald Isle from Raleigh. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made in a long time. Though we were there for only a couple of days, this property truly helped us hit the reset button heading into spring! The furniture was comfortable, clean, and very relaxing; much of it seemed to be brand new. The pool was everything it was explained to be, and more. While we were there, temperatures were in the 50s and 60s, which would’ve kept us from even considering getting in the water on any other vacation. This pool’s heated feature completely changed that for us! It was the highlight of our stay. The kids spent hours in it, as did I. Just imagine audible waves crashing in the background as you stare up at the star filled sky while taking a midnight swim. As my header asks, what more can you ask for? The combination of comfort, space, amenities, and oceanfront location make this property hard to match…not to mention the cozy hometown feel of Emerald Isle itself. We’ve been to many oceanfront properties as a family, but this one is hard to match. Do yourself a favor and try it out!

Amazing views!

We were friends and families enjoying a week at the beach. The house is mirror image on each side and great for multi-families - two living rooms/two kitchens, single doorway between two living rooms is only connection. Plenty of space for kids and adults to be both together and separate. The pool was great- heater worked well which has not been true at some other places we have rented. Kitchens were adequately equipped. Location (~1.5 from grocery, ABC store, etc) is perfect. Easy walk down beach to pier and pier restaurant if you need a night out. Owner contact (minimal necessary for our stay) was easy and quick response.

Please invest in your investment

The location and view of this property is perfect…but that’s about it. This property is dirty, worn and has a serious bug issue. We had two live bugs in our living room as soon as we checked in. Not small bugs…large water bugs. I understand them being on the ground level due to moisture in the area…but when they are on the second and THIRD floor of the property, there is a major issue. We had two large, live bugs in our bedroom. I called the property management company and they sent someone out the next day. That basically did nothing. We had them on our walls, running across the floor, and on the steps…to the third floor of the house. Clearly there is a major issue here. The owner informed me that they just had Orkin out there to spray on Oct 8th…again, there is a clear issue happening. The house was not clean, it is very worn out (furniture, kitchen items, and bathrooms). Do yourself a huge favor and higher a better cleaning company and a weekly pest control until you get things under control.

First time with VRBO, a little different?

Let me preface with, I understand it was the end of the season. The house we chose was both sides of a duplex because we needed two king bedrooms and at least 4 queen bedrooms to accommodate the six couples and a one year old. We’ve been to Emerald Isle many times and the Pinnacle seemed to fit all of our needs with a pool and large deck. Pros: The double kitchens were great. The aforementioned pool was fantastic. The views were amazing, as well as the proximity to shopping. Cons: The description of the house mentions that one of the master bedrooms has a kids bed. It does not. My family would probably never be described as neat freaks, but the owners desperately need a new cleaning service. We were all surprised by the overall cleanliness of the house at check in. Yes, it’s the beach. Done it 15-20 times, but the amount of dust on the nightstands and dressers was crazy. The floors were sticky like they weren’t really mopped. My bigger concerns were the condition of the showers. The doors had lots of mildew and the shower floors weren’t very clean. The linen service wasn’t much better. Sheets and pillowcases were way past their lifespan. Fortunately, the towels were better and plentiful. I’m a little meh on the actual value for the cost. I’ve certainly spent more on some places and spent less for others. Overall, my family had a great time because we were all together and the beach is always a great vacation! I just have to give some thought if I’ll use VRBO again.
