We spent this week with our immediate family in one side and our sister and her family in the other. We had bedrooms for everyone and with the new outdoor showers had plenty of showering space. To start with, the setting is absolutely gorgeous. I felt like I was in a Nicholas Sparks movie. The units had plenty of cooking and eating supplies and plenty of games, books and puzzles. The pool was enjoyed by both adults and children. Looking forward to another summer here.

We had our family gathering here in June 2022. The beach was fantastic and the pool was appreciated by all. We enjoyed all of the amenities provided for us such as pool time, corn hole, bocce ball, boogie boards, and beach chairs. We traveled from the Pacific Northwest so it was nice to arrive to a place that was fully stocked with games and equipment for beach fun. The house is well-maintained although previous renters had left broken shelves for the refrigerator - a minor inconvenience. The owner was very responsive when we requested additional pillow cases and they arrived within an hour. The rooms in the home were smaller than we expected but everything worked out. The beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach is considerable for folks that are not able-bodied. We rented a beach cart that was dropped off and picked up at the house. The cart made the daily walk to the beach for family members with kids much more doable. The beach was absolutely beautiful and great for families. We enjoyed being so close to the inlet for the shell hunters and fisherman in our group. We would rent The Rustic Peacock again and thought the owners were very nice to work with.

We have been going to Atlantic Beach then Emerald Isle for over 40 years. The first time was in 1975 when we lived in Greenville NC. In 1976 we moved back to Tennessee, and did not go back until 1981. Since then we have gone every year. We have stayed in many places up and down the beach. This was our first time down on the point, and we loved the area. It was a little far down to the water, but most everyone made it every day - except me, but then I am almost 90 years old, and I made it one evening. The duplex was very nice, well kept and clean. The sleeping spaces were great for a large number. For us, the space for eating together and mingling was not quite as good as we have had in some other places, but it was not a great inconvenience. Response to a couple of little problems we had one with the pool filter and one with a commode was immediate and effective. LeAnn was great to work with. Overall, it was a great week in a very nice place.

Location is great. Both duplex units do have much more wear than pics show. Handrail for pool in 100 electrified and pulling breakers didn't stop the danger. For the price house should have been in much better condition. Landlords are great and added nice touched great surprises. Had three electric issues over the week which was a bit unnerving but I'm assuming these will be address over the winter.

We had a wonderful vacation week at the Rustic Peacock. The duplex set-up was perfect; we were able to travel back and forth with ease, which was important for my 95 year old mother and allowed her to be part of the festivities. The homes were well stocked with kitchen supplies, starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.), and the welcome gift was very thoughtful. One concern was the home was not as clean as we would have liked upon arrival, however, once the owners were notified the problem was resolved. The location was great, but take note that for some there is a hike to the ocean.

Cleanest property we have stayed in, loved the closeness to the beach and how quiet The Point is! Kids really enjoyed the pool as well.

We had a wonderful vacation! We had kids of all ages in our extended family vacation and everything was really great. The house was great and the owner was incredibly kind and caring. She was extremely responsive to any questions or needs we may have had. I will say that if you have really small kiddos or elderly people in your group, the walk over the dunes and to the ocean is incredibly long and hard. Older kids and adults can do it but just want you to be prepared. Our grandmother was unable to get to the beach this year and we were really sad. That had nothing to do with the house or owners though. Everything was wonderful!!! Lots of attentiveness to making sure the house had everything you could want and need. Thank you so much!!

Pros: The house is near the end of the island which was great as the beach was far less busy than the middle of the island seemed to be. Owners were very responsive to questions during the trip. House is clean with plenty of space for our large family. All the beach/ocean toys and kitchen items provided were a nice perk. Cons: although its beachfront, the house is a long walk to the ocean! The beach is very wide and there are several sand dunes to walk over as well.

Loved the property. Perfect spot for our family with beach access and a fun town to explore

We really enjoyed our stay at the property! We have a large family and rented both sides of the duplex which fit us nicely. The bathrooms are on the smaller side and it should be noted that there are no bathtubs. We have six children under the age of five who normally take baths. I wish we would have known that there were no bathtubs before booking. However, the house is beautiful, the owners are so sweet and we had an amazing trip!
