"It did not feel like an apartment at all. Do you walk in the main level and it feels like a house. It's a very spacious and comfortable. I opened up all the windows in the Lanai and opened up all the windows in the condo and the coastal Breezy air flowed through the whole place and it felt like we were outside even when we were inside. The cappuccino machine was amazing and I really enjoyed the opportunity to use it. Haylee has all the Basic Essentials that you need. We really enjoyed the crab...

"Location was great. A short walk to the beach. Area was quiet. House was clean and had everything we needed. Some of the dishes were a little dirty but I just rewashed them. Beds were standard VRBO beds. The king frame was a little squeaky but didn’t wake up me in the middle of the night. Plenty of room which was very nice. We brought our dog and it was perfect for him. The hot tub was heavily chlorinated so we decided to not use it unfortunately. But we still had a lovely time. Kids...

" excellent location 1 block from the beach - the house was very clean the only concern I had was the smell of mothballs that was pretty intense. I ended up getting an essential oil diffuser to get rid of it -I did reach out to the management team the first day I got there and they responded about eight hours later saying that the smell was due to humidity and it is normal in Houses on the beach. Maybe it is -not sure.! other than that the trip was great. the House is in an excellent location-...

Oceanfront stunner in Emerald Isle

10/10 Excellent

"We were a family of 10 staying here for a week for Thanksgiving. We had the best time ,it was so comfortable and you felt so welcomed. Amy was very accommodating for anything I asked for. The house was beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to cook a Thanksgiving meal. The bedrooms had the most comfortable mattresses. There was no problem sleeping. The weather was great and we definitely hope to come back."

Oceanfront 10 bdrm w/Pool/Elevator on The Point. Best Views on the Island!

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean, most of all the bedrooms have beautiful ocean/beach views. Love the top floor with the kitchen and living area, best view all around. There was an elevator so that was a plus, especially if you have big luggage like I do. We had a party of 9 couples to celebrate one of our friend’s 50th bday. We will definitely be back in the future during the summer time. "

Spectacular Direct Oceanfront 2BR Condo in Emerald Isle NC Ocean Reef 7B1

10/10 Excellent

"The place was beautiful, location awesome. I do have to say, this was the first time I’ve had to either bring my own bed linens and towels or use the ones provided and having to wash, dry and fold before we have to check out by 10. "

Oceanfront 8 bedroom/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas

10/10 Excellent
