We had a wonderful stay in this house! Great communication with the owners who made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Close to the beach, shopping and the pool. I loved the special touch of a dog bowl just for our little pup!

This place had it all! The location was great. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. It was a short walk to the beach but get the 4x4 pass because there are a lot of beach access ramps to choone from. We mostly went to ramp 44 because at the point there were lots of shells and we could watch people fish. We saw dolphins, turtles, and spinner sharks jumping completely out of the water. The owners were helpful with any questions we had. The place was very clean and comfortable. We saw many shooting stars right from the back deck. I would highly recommend this rental

Nice Family Vacation
Had minor issues which were addressed as soon as I reached out. The house was as nice as pictured. Not quite as close to the beach as we though but close enough. The bridge on the path to the beach had TONS of turtles which we all enjoyed watching them swarm when they saw people. Overall happy with stay!

Week at Sweet Emocean!
We enjoyed our trip to Hatteras Island very much. Great to have our dog with us too. Great space and responsive owners. Only area of improvement would be cleaning on the little details (like the blades of all the ceiling fans need a cleaning).

Fantastic week in OBX
This house was perfect for my family of 3. We had never been to OBX and were looking for a quiet area with easy beach access, and this fit the bill perfectly. It's a quick 5 minute walk to the beach, Duck Donuts (try the pina colada donut!), Food Lion and several other small stores. The home itself was well equipped, with plenty of cooking utensils (we cook 2/3 of our meals on vacation, so this was HUGE), and enough paper products to last throughout our whole stay. There were a couple of cooler nights where we were able to sit on the deck and enjoy the peaceful neighborhood. We had several deer visit the yard which we loved, but our dog was less enthusiastic lol (the neighborhood is extremely pet-friendly and everyone we met was so kind). We only had to contact the owners once, but they were lightning fast in their communication. The house has everything you need for a great day at the beach, including a cooler, beach chairs, body boards, etc. If we decide to come back to the Avon area, we would choose Sweet Emocean in a heartbeat!

Family vacation at Sweet Emocean was a blast!
The house is very comfortable and spacious, the perfect home base for beach excursions, cooking local seafood dinners at home, and cocktails on the porch to catch the sunset! Owners were very communicative and responsive, and we really appreciated the small touches including board games for the kids and access to the community pool. Sweet Emocean is the perfect place for a low key retreat from the world.

We had such a great stay at Sweet EmOcean! The property was clean, stocked with plenty of bath towels, beach towels, sheets and everything else we could possibly need. The house had tons of extra amenities (beach chairs, boogie boards, games, movies, books) and a great yard. It's a short 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive to the grocery store and restaurants. The pool was a great for a break from the beach! The owners were awesome to work with and we hope to be back soon!

Easter 2022
The house was really nice and inviting. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Beautiful views from decks on each level and all sides of the house, could see the ocean from the top deck which was nice since it was cool and very windy on Easter Sunday. The yard under the house if fully fenced-in which was great since we had dogs with us. The owners were incredible and extra responsive to our needs and requests. We highly recommend this house and if you are there in warmer weather, everything needed for a beach day was available.
