We had a great vacation at Emerald Isle and a big part of the reason was this beach house and easy access to the beach. We normally stay oceanfront, and we were a little hesitant. While no need to be. The location of the home is in a great neighborhood and the parking at the beach was easy and always available. The home was clean, with modern/updated bathrooms and kitchen. We loved the back deck. With all the shade from the trees, the deck was always cool and relaxing when getting back from the beach. Heather was great to work with and always got right back with answers to questions. I would recommend the property and we plan on staying again when we return to Emerald Isle.

Property was wonderful. Spacious, clean practically new. House is warm and inviting plenty of room inside and out. We had a wonderful week and hope to rent here again!

We loved our time at Heather’s house. A lot of thought had been put into what guests might need - fully stocked kitchen with updated/well-kept cookware and appliances, comfortable beds, and a guestbook with lots of helpful information. The outdoor shower was wonderful, as was access to private parking at the beach, which wasn’t super crowded and very close by. Great communication from Heather as well! Highly recommend this house! We look forward to coming back!

We had a great week here. The property is in great shape and in a nice location.

Loved many things about this house: Location and convenient to everything on the island, outdoor space to include deck and outdoor shower, sunroom, free ocean front parking. The renovations the owner has completed are nice. Great place for a family vacation!

First, don't be worried that this property isn't on the ocean, because the house, location, and owner are awesome!!! A short walk to the sound area, with a pier and benches are great for watching the beautiful NC sunsets, another short walk to the highway and you're at the best breakfast/coffee place on the island, as well as a great donut shop! As for the beach, this neighborhood has a dedicated beach access, and even there during the 4th, there were plenty of parking spaces, a great, well maintained walkway to the beach, which is close to the pier, but without the crowds! The house itself is wonderful, plenty of space, and lots of updates, and one of my favorite things is the outdoor hot shower! If you stay, please be sure to give this a try, believe me you'll be sold! Heather is awesome, and even on a holiday is always accessible to help with any issues you might have! I will definitely be staying here again!!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this home. We especially enjoyed having meals outside on the deck and walking down the street to the cute donut shop. The private beach access was really great to have as we could just show up and park without having to drive around endlessly looking for a spot. The little closed in sunroom was a nice surprise as it made a great spot for my toddler to hang out with his toys while still being in eye sight. Would definitely rent this home again or recommend to friends!

The property was beautiful and so clean! We especially loved the outdoor shower after a day at the beach.

We loved the house and the beach parking was awesome! All you could want within walking distance. Fun fishing on the pier. House is well equipped, great kitchen. Private backyard. Hope to come back soon!

It met all our expectations! We hope to return to EI again and will definitely stay here!

Perfect size house for my wife and I. Clean, new flooring through out. Enjoyed having dinner in the prívate backyard with nice 😊 deck as well as having our coffee in the rocking chairs. My wife rented a bike 🏍 for the week and had fun on her daily bike rides including watching the sunset 🌅.

The location was perfect for us. We appreciated the ease of oceanfront parking. The backyard deck is great for relaxing dinners at home after a fun day at the beach.

Wonderful

This house was adorable and comfy! Great location! ABSOLUTELY loved the outside shower it was used more than the inside ones. Heather is an awesome host GOOD COMMUNICATION & QUICK RESPONSE! Thank you for opening your property to us. We loved the house and had a great vacation!

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The ground level was perfect with aging parents. The location was perfect. So close to all the EI amenities. Private parking was awesome. The kitchen was fully stocked. There is even Tupperware. The place was super clean. The outside shower with hot water was a huge bonus with six adults. The owner was wonderful to work with. The back deck is huge. The neighborhood is quite and the sunsets from the pier on the sound side are amazing. We have VRBO'd more than the average and this is easily in the top two places we have ever stayed.

We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage! All was perfect! Thanks so much,!

Great house with private beach access. Wonderful beach experience.

This is our second summer booking this home and we love it. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the outdoor space is amazing & great for hanging out, outdoor shower is fabulous (not sure we ever used the indoor ones), & the beach parking access makes things sooo much easier. Will definitely look to book this property next time we are in Emerald Isle.

This location is great and the house was very clean and cute!

If you are looking for a great house in a great location this is it! My family (myself, husband, son 18, daughter 16) had a fantastic stay in this extremely well equipped house. The house was exactly as pictured and described and exceeded our expectations. The kids loved having their own spacious rooms with their own TVs. The living room had plenty of space for us all to sit and watch movies together. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner with plenty of plates, bowls, mugs and glasses. The house has a very beachy feel with some beautiful furniture and furnishings. The house is a short walk to a beautiful dock with amazing sunsets. We went fishing every night. The beach was a little further in the opposite direction. We did walk to it once but it was much easier in the car and having the private parking was awesome. The area has many things to do, we went kayaking, go karting, mini golfing and to the aquarium. Heather, the owner, was extremely responsive to any questions that I had. I would absolutely book this house again. :)

Very clean house. Excellent quiet location. Private beach access was great. Would recommend this house to anyone. Would stay here again.

We had a excellent time staying in this house. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had and super nice. It felt like home as soon as we walked thru the door and even though a few streets over from the beach she had you taken care of with a private beach access just right down the road. Would definitely recommend and stay again

This house was absolutely wonderful! Extremely clean, neat, comfortable, had EVERY amenity!!! I can't say enough about how much we loved this house, and the owner is absolutely fantastic to deal with! Super easy check-in, and even easier check-out. About a block from the main road, easy walk to some great food places (Flip Flop Donuts & Circle Pizza are fantastic) and about the same distance in the other direction is a wonderful little Park on the Sound. The private beach parking area was a special treat and everyone was super friendly. For the house, the beds were super comfy, soft sheets (beds were already made!), roomy bathrooms, nice airy open kitchen/dining/living room area, so you never felt crowded. Wonderful sunroom and the back deck was amazing. perfect for that morning coffee! One of the nicest surprises was the outdoor shower - clean, lots of space, and the waterless hot water heater was amazing!! Though traffic on Emerald Drive can be hectic, we were lucky and had no problems. You can't go wrong with this house, and we're already planning our week for next year!

This was our first experience renting a beach house. Heather was there every step of the way and replied within minutes! Upon entering the house, I was impressed with how clean and orderly everything was. Everything is labeled in the kitchen for easy access. The outside shower, with heat, was awesome. We went to the beach every single day and even though they have outdoor showers/foot spickets at the private beach access (omg that part was great) you still get some sand that won’t entirely come off. The back yard is very private and the sun room is relaxing. My son loved this place so much he wanted to live here (he’s 9) but in all seriousness, a GREAT place and will return.

The house was spotless when we arrived, and the check in process was super easy. The kitchen was stocked well and cabinets were labeled, which is such a great idea for a rental! It’s in a great location and the beach parking access is clutch. We rented bikes and they were dropped off at the house, and we had a great time using them on the bike paths around the island. Would definitely recommend Heather’s place to anyone considering it!

Lovely, roomy (and very clean) 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage. Lots of room to find your own space and also room to come together. Location to Main Street was excellent (within walking distance), plus beach access was A-MAZ-ING! Private access right down the street. (We loves that!). Also, great gathering space inside and out. Loved the outdoor shower! Incredible privacy even though in a neighborhood. House was equipped with so much that we didn’t want for anything! Definitely a wonderful find! Last, owner was responsive, available and so helpful! Love this place!

Great place that was just what our family needed for vacation. We’ll definitely have to come back again.

This is a darling, fully furnished 3 BR 2 BA beach cottage located between the sound and the ocean. While not a waterfront property, we would stay here again. It is tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable with plenty of space, a kitchen loaded with dishes and cookware that met our needs, a TV in every bedroom, plenty of privacy, a great outdoor space in back with grill, and a fantastic outdoor shower - what a treat!! I showered outdoors every day. The owner, Heather, was very responsive from booking to our trip's end. I loved the front porch rocking chairs too and would have used them more if the porch umbrella would have been available.

We loved our stay on Cedar St. The house was spotless & very well stocked. We especially loved the outdoor shower, shaded deck & the sunroom that provided extra hang out space. Location is great too. Far enough away from the pier to be out of the hustle & bustle but still super close to all the amenities. The private access to beach parking is also a huge bonus. We have already rebooked for next year!!! Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

My family enjoyed our stay here so much! The house was exactly as advertised. We particularly enjoyed the sunroom on the back of the house and the convenient beach access parking lot. I would definitely stay here again!

This house is beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable, exactly as pictured and described. It is centrally located, easy walk to the beach, the bay, and local shops. The house had everything we needed to cook our nightly dinners. I recommend viewing the sunset from Cedar Street Park. We also enjoyed a short drive to the Point two different evenings.
