Best house ever!

We've been staying oceanfront for almost 30 years, and this is the best house and location we've ever had! The decor was lovely coastal, the views were beautiful, and the house was spotless! We hope to keep coming back!

We have been coming to EI for 12 years and have always rented from a large real estate company. This experience was much more personal, the accommodations were well appointed, communication with the owners was easy and replies were prompt. We loved the location and really couldnโ€™t criticize anything about the house! We would love to return next year!

Spring Getaway

We had another amazing stay at Dunecliff East. The owners do an amazing job of updating the house each year with new design features and plenty of functional updates, too! They really think of everything. They're responsive to our questions and suggestions and really make us feel at home. We enjoyed our relaxing stay and can't wait to return!

This place was amazing and perfect for our family beach vacation. The layout was perfect with one bedroom on the main floor, and 3 on the second floor and the top floor was perfect for a family of 4. Beds and pillows were very comfy. Bath towels were thick and so nice. Kitchen was the best stocked VRBO kitchen weโ€™ve ever had, they have thought of everything. Nice pantry to keep your food items organized. Beautiful view of the ocean from all the windows, and loved sitting on the outside furniture with a nice awning for shade. They also had 8 beach chairs and a sun shade for us to use, that was so handy. We truly had such a nice vacation renting this home. Great location just minutes from the major grocery stores and restaurants. Would totally recommend.

We have been to Emerald Isle on three separate occasions and thought this house just surpassed all the others. From the moment you walk into Christy and Scott's vacation rental you feel at home. The house was beautifully decorated and had every amenity you could think of. The kitchen was well stocked , which was very nice because we cooked most nights of our vacation. The dining table was large enough to comfortably fit our group of 8. The layout of the house was perfect for our family. Having the upstairs loft area worked out perfectly for our teens. I was concerned about this property being a duplex, but it felt very private. It was nice to be close to the grocery store, restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend this property. Thank you Christy and Scott!

Great place to stay

Best beach house weโ€™ve ever rented! Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. We appreciated the extra touches, like being welcomed by wine, chocolate, and toilet paper.
