Can’t give a high enough rating for this property. The owners are great to work with and as far as the house, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Immaculately clean, with great features like the walk-out cupola, where the kids could have a fort, while mom and dad relaxed on the top level porch in the evenings. Everything you need to enjoy the house and beach, including boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs and wagon. Carport offers clothesline, shaded place to play, room for your beach gear, or two stalls to park. Outdoor shower is awesome- with warm water, we managed to keep the sand outside to the point we hardly used the inside showers. House has strong AC, for those who can’t take the heat. There is some main road noise, but most bedrooms are situated away from the road and it did not inhibit sleep, plus included fans could be used as white noise. The grill and furnishings are higher quality than all the other rentals we have had over the last 10 years in the same price range. Will definitely stay here again if we come back to Emerald Isle...wish we could bring this property with us on all our vacations!
