When it’s time to head out to the beach, which you will find just steps from your back door, you can make a day of beachcombing and lounging on the sand!

Would rebook a stay
This was a vacation I’ll always remember. Beautiful house and amazing view of the beach/ocean. The multiple decks were perfect to sit on and enjoy the scenery. A couple of things that weren’t listed that we all really enjoyed and appreciated was the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off and the sliding gate at the top of the deck to keep our little ones safe from the stairs. The beach was just a short walk away from the house and we loved that it was never overcrowded with people. There were tons of shells which was my favorite part. You could also drive your vehicle onto the beach which was nice for carrying coolers. You do have to pay $10 for a sticker to allow you to do this. The only negative was that the master bedroom was pretty warm the whole stay. It never got below 73 but during the day it stayed 79. This wasn’t too much of a problem since we were outside and busy most of the time though.

Nephew’s Graduation/Family Vacation
What a blast! My sister and I booked both Jordan’s Sandcastle and Emerald Isle for a family vacation/ nephew’s graduation trip. This is an annual trip but we were excited to have found two houses next door to each other, but to have them both on the beach was a bonus! Also having a more quiet/private beach rather than being on the public beach was another added bonus to the trip. We look forward to continuing our adventures next year! Thanks so much!
