There were so many problems with this property we didn't stay here and asked for our money back. We were accommodated with another unit that was very nice and we enjoyed our stay there.

The house was perfect for our stay. Spacious enough for 2 families with an unbeatable location on the beach! Generally clean but there were a few things that could use a refresh. Communion with our host was super easy and very responsive. We would stay again, thank you!!

We had a great time and enjoyed the house. The location was great! Loved having easy access to the beach.

Clean, all appliances worked, great deck, easy access to beach. Needs new mattresses.

We've never had a shorter walk to the beach from a beachfront cottage! Seriously, 11 steps down off the deck and then a very small dune path down to the sand (maybe another 20 steps down). Location along an uncrowded stretch of beach was another huge plus. The cottage is an older no-frills unit, which suited us very well! `We had plenty of room for 4 people. If you maxed the occupancy, it might be a little tight, as the rooms are on the small side. Kitchen had everything except a toaster (which might have been in the unoccupied unit next door) and a big pot (so if you're doing crabs or spaghetti, you might want to BYO). I appreciated the glass top electric stove and the garbage disposal in the sink, both things we usually don't have at the beach. Loved that we could bring our dog! The short hose at the base of the steps and another right outside the back door were very helpful in rinsing sand from canine and human feet. Sadly, we didn't catch fish during our stay (too rough), but the fish cleaning station worked great for rinsing and drying shells (best shelling ever, due to the rough conditions). One item that will hopefully be fixed soon is that both windows in the living area have broken seals, meaning they were fogged with condensation on the lower 1/3 to 1/2 of the windowpanes. If you're going to be spending much time inside, you might want to check to see if this has been addressed. But the view from the deck was perfect!

Needs new pillows and mattresses

Well stocked kitchen, wonderful deck with a short staircase to the beautiful emerald isle beach! Tight fit in the bedrooms, but the family (the kids are mostly in their mid-20s) was thrilled to be all together at the beach again and had a great time

The house did need some work but overall it was ok. It was nice to be directly on the beach.
