Communication with the host was top notch & went such a long way for us - always timely, easy access, and just all around wonderful customer service. We would absolutely rent here again and hope too in the future!!!

My husband, our teenaged goddaughter and our 2 year old dog spent a long weekend in Emerald Isle in late April. The house’s ocean front location was ideal for our small group. The house had lots of room for the three of us to spread out. The top floor suite was ideal for our teenaged goddaughter because she was able to stay up as long as she liked watching her Tik Tok videos without disturbing the adults. The main level with its open kitchen/dining/living area was ideal for our communal meals and socializing. Our dog enjoyed the fact that we had easy access to the beach where she could sniff and frolic (on leash, of course) in the surf any time she wanted. The neighborhood was quiet yet conveniently located within a couple of miles of a grocery store, a seafood market and several restaurants. Amy, the host, was very proactive and responsive to all of our needs. We will definitely stay here again!

This property fit our needs perfectly. We had 8 stay with us, from age 18-83 (three generations). The rest of our family met us at a restaurant for a celebratory luncheon to honor five family birthdays in March. We would love to stay here again.

This house is incredible and stunning! The views were spectacular and you were only steps from the beach. Everything you needed was provided for you. I wish I could live there year round. The host, Amy, was amazing. Any questions or concerns, she responded quickly. Thank you again. I will definitely be returning…one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed with.

Our family had a wonderful stay! Great access to the beach and easy drive to local restaurants and grocery store. The house was beautiful! The host was quick to respond to all messages.

Great property; great location; friendly vibe. Informative and timely communication from the host in response to our questions -- this was our first trip to Emerald Isle. Nice, large deck areas; kitchen well-equipped (altho the ice-maker was not working, and the refrigerator was running a little warm -- we were keeping milk for infants -- and there is no garbage disposal.) Dog-friendly area, which is important to us. Nice touches from the host, like extra beach chairs and sand toys in the storage shed.

We had our family vacation here and it worked out great. Everyone had their own space and we were right on the beach. We were close to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go, though we did not leave the property much. The three different floors gave everyone separation, when needed! Amy was great to work with.

Fantastic house for multi-generational family trip!

We loved our week at Carolina Dawn. The three levels were perfect for our group of 7, allowing everyone to have their own spaces and bathrooms. The kitchen was well-equipped and the proximity to the beach was fantastic. Amy was very responsive to any (mild) issues that popped up and resolved them quickly. We would love to visit again next year!

Relaxation......

Relaxation......

The property was fantastic. The only suggestion I would have would be to have chairs that were a little bit taller on the main deck, so you could see the ocean better. The deck rail is in your view. The house was fabulously equipped, everything you could want in the kitchen. We didn't need all the toys provided for the beach, but it looked like a really nice collection. We loved the decks for relaxing in the early moring, late night and watching the moon overhead in the middle of the night.

This duplex is so perfect. Literally walk off the porch and you’re on the beach. The place is extremely clean and roomy. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking at home. Walking distance to dollar general and gas station. So many beach toys and at least 4+ chairs for beach. Host responds very quickly. We will definitely be back!!

Great place for a beach vacation!

Great place for a beach vacation!

This is a great place to vacation on the beach! The house is clean (and I'm pretty fussy) and well-equipped. All 3 decks were replaced this year - looks great! The new deck furniture is made with recycled material - very sturdy and doesn't get hot in the sun. Plus, you don't have to worry about splinters! :-) The kitchen is nicely equipped . . can't imagine anything it doesn't have. When we arrived, there were starter supplies of paper products. Always nice to find after a long trip. The living room furniture is different from the picture. There is a sectional and a faux leather couch . . . darker colors than the pictured furniture, but they also make the area roomier. The beach is fantastic - very wide and you can walk for miles. It was very clean. We were told it was recently cleaned in preparation for the turtles arriving to lay eggs. The owner is very quick to answer questions and extremely easy to work with. We would definitely stay there again.

This house gave us lots of room and a wonderful beach location! Our Host (Amy) went out of her way to accommodate us and make this a wonderful experience. The house was away from the main road and right on the beach, but lots of shops, restaurants, and fun activities were very easy to get to. And the balconies were perfect for happy hour at any hour of the day.

We were right on the ocean. Amazing sunrises. We went surf-fishing and took the ferry to Shackleford Island. Great time shelling.
