Nice beach stay!

I enjoyed this rental. It had everything I needed for a weekend getaway. There was a pier a short walk from the unit overlooking the sound. Beach access was also very easy to get to- just across the road and one block over. I had a great stay here and would recommend it!

Perfect getaway

The condo was exactly as described and is perfect for a single person or a couple. Everything you need for a comfortable stay was furnished except for personal hygiene essentials It is a close walk to a beautiful beach front that wasn't crowded and the sunsets on the Sound side were breathtaking. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Great Location!

Great location, easy walk to the beach & the lagoon/bay in the back! Cute spot for a weekend trip. Pretty much the only complaints were the dishwasher being full when we got there. Pretty sure it was all clean but never unloaded & the tub does not drain well.

Quick and quiet getaway

We have stayed here several times as a family. It is a quiet space with close access to beach and the sound. The beach is about a block walk, but a very easy walk. And, access to a not so busy part of the beach. It is in so busy part of Emerald Isle as well, but still close to some very nice restaurants.

We loved this place! It was perfect for the 2 of us. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, was the tv on the porch had streaming channels and a huge selection of movies, but the tv inside was old school cable and had no streaming at all. We were there for a wedding so by Saturday we were beat and the weather was awful and we wanted to lie in bed and movie out. But other than a couple glitches checking in, our stay was great.

Property was as advertised and included everything we needed for our stay! We appreciated the snacks & the ice maker in the full size fridge. Located right on the sound and beach access was right across the street and less than a block away. Great quiet location on the beach.
