We love Emerald Isle's beach, clear water & fun waves! This single house was perfect w/ 2 fridges and 2 living rooms! Public beach access was right next to house but did not have any issues.

We spent a week at Isle Stay Awhile with close family friends. The property was everything we needed...right on the beach, open main floorplan and separate common areas (one upstairs, one down) for the adults and the kids. It was perfectly clean and recently remodeled with newer appliances. We appreciated the extra convenient touches like the foot wash and the outdoor shower. Adena responded to me letting her know the blender was broken by having a new one delivered while we were still there, which was much appreciated (especially by the kids who love their smoothies/frozen concoctions while on vacation!). Highly recommend this property!!

The first thing we noticed was how very immaculate this home is. It looks clean and smells clean. Every single room. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms spotless. The pay it forward system is a wonderful concept. There was toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, lotion, spices, oils etc. We used some, replaced what we used and left some new additions. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking. The owner is very attentive to all questions and comments. The beach is beautiful. There are tidal pools and a sandbar making low tide amazing, especially with little ones. We used insta cart for groceries… made life so incredibly easy. Never went to the grocery store! Life was easy, relaxing and fun. What more could one want for vacation?!

Second time at Isle Stay Awhile - and another wonderful beach vacation! Adina is a great host and the house is perfect for a family trip with kids. Stunning ocean views, easy access to beach, expansive deck, comfortable interior, and nice little charcoal grill! Quiet location. If traveling with children, check out the nearby aquarium. Highly recommend this charming house!

Isle Stay Awhile is the perfect beach house for a family! With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large kitchen and 2 living/den areas, there's space for everyone. The deck with its covered area and lounge chairs were great for enjoying the sunrises and sunsets. Lastly, you're right on the beach - the walkway is perfect! The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful ocean front beach front property with gorgeous views, stunning deck, and all the amenities. Well stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals. We had a lovely time on our week long stay. Great kitchen with a second refrigerator and a second living space. Perfect for family gatherings!

This was our third stay and again we loved it. Andina and Todd are great hosts and very attentive. We loved the added coffee nook and added amenities in the front closet. We'll most definitely will be back next year.

We had a wonderful family stay at this home. The layout is perfect, with separate downstairs and upstairs living quarters. The views are amazing, with both sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. The hosts were highly responsive to the only minor issue we had (TV not working upon arrival). Highly recommended!

Isle stay awhile is a lovely, well maintained home with caring owners. Saw magical sunsets and sunrises from the beachfront deck. Home was super clean and had a great layout. We only used the main level and liked that there was a door on the main floor that led to the stairs to get to the bottom level (so helpful that it could be closed off with a young child). Beach was large with plenty of room even on a holiday weekend! It’s a wonderful beachfront home.

2nd time staying at Isle Stay Awhile. Beachfront location is great. Like staying on north end of Emerald Isle. The layout of the house works very well for our family of 9. Already booked again next year.

Adina and Todd are SUPER hosts! Their house is perfect for our family. The location is amazing. This was our 2 year coming to Emerald Isle and staying at this house. I definitely recommend!

This house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. It was very clean, space was just the right size, the kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc. The beach access is excellent! Adina was GREAT with communicating and very helpful answering all my questions even before we booked. If we all can get off at the same time again next year there's no doubt we will stay here!!

Property was fantastic and very nicely appointed. We had a great time.

We had a blast. This was our 3rd year back at this house and it’s just as great as it was before. We especially love having dinner on the back deck and the east beach access. We love the separate space downstairs so the baby in our group had a quiet place to play and nap. We asked the hosts last year to upgrade their toaster and they did!! We were so thankful. We love staying here and plan to return next year! ThNks!

Perfect beach house! Wonderful location. Right on the water. Charming decor. Plenty of space. Sun and shade on back deck. Downstairs entertainment room a hit with the kids! Adina is an attentive and gracious host. Highly recommend for a memorable Emerald Isle getaway!

This was my husband Bob and I second stay and again we absolutely loved it. House was clean, kitchen fully equipped, nice new king size bed in the master. The ocean view on the very large deck is amazing. We rented bikes this year from Hwy 58 Bikes and I took advantage of the walking/biking trail. The people we met were super nice, restaurants were great. Gaffers was a little pricey considering what we had, but the food was good. We will definitely be returning to Isle Stay Awhile next year.

Great family vacation

This place. Was awesome but we didn’t know we were next to a public walkway

House is well maintained and family friendly.

Our week at Isle Stay a While was great - there are a lot of things to say about this property, but I'll just hit a few of the highlights. First, the refresh of the property done recently looks great - you can actually see the before pictures on Zillow, and it shows that the owners put a lot of effort into keeping this a top-notch property. The kitchen renovation in particular is really great. Second, it's of course nice to have beachfront, and this particular house makes it very easy to get to the beach - no long trudge or giant hill to climb, it's right there! A good distance from the public beach parking lot, so additionally, even on a holiday weekend it wasn't too crowded. Finally, the size of the house is great. The layout of the upstairs and downstairs is such that you can put two families in at the same time, and enjoy a bit of privacy while you're at it. More likely, you might have kids down and adults upstairs, again, since the downstairs has its own entrance, fridge and bathroom facilities, it's very self-contained. We will be coming back!

We so enjoyed staying here. The house was exactly as advertised, really even better. The beach is right there! We will definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Isle Stay Awhile!! The downstairs was perfect for our son and his family. The kitchen was well stocked. So many added supplies. The only complaint would’ve the mattresses were not comfortable. But overall one of my favorite vacations

We really enjoyed our stay House was perfect for our family with 3 grandchildren under 4 years old. Location was ideal being close to Indian Beach. Really enjoyed the large deck. We will plan to come back soon.

Our multi-generational family enjoyed the one-week stay here. The house was marvelous; and had everything well arranged. The young-uns loved the bunk bed and single beds; and the adults had the Queen bedrooms. We also enjoyed the oceanside access where we could go back-forth from house to beach. Only "downer" was the weather -- some days were cloudy/rainy; but Thur/Fri were sunny with an occasional shower. We went to the Aquarium one day; and had a supper of Ice Cream from Scoops.

Isle Stay Awhile was great! So much room to spread out, kitchen well stocked, “pay it forward” is great to do for necessaries. Being able to walk right out to the beach each day was awesome. This was our first time at EI and we really enjoyed how large the beach was, with room to spread out. A fabulous week!

The cottage was lovely, clean, well supplied, and perfectly located overlooking the ocean. It was great to have a second refrigerator. Our family had a wonderful time.

The house is cheerful and clean and the owners were very nice and very responsive to our needs. I would havé liked beach chairs, canopies, beach towels and outdoor seat cushions but I was told that’s the way they do it in Emerald Isle.

We had a lovely time at Adina’s home at Emerald Isle! The home was comfortable, well-kept, well equipped, and perfect for a family to gather. We enjoyed being steps away to the beach but also enjoyed the home itself. If I had known it was have so many extra touches of books to read, games to play, outdoor toys/boards, I would have packed a lot less! It was very convenient having these amenities!Adina was also very pleasant and kind to work with! She was very responsive and she provided good resources for the area, things to do, etc. Our family would definitely stay at her home again for future trips! Highly recommend!

Start to finish, everything was perfection! Upon arrival, the house was impeccably clean, and everything was just as beautiful in person. We had 4 adults and six kids (ages 5-16) with us, and the house layout and few steps from the isolated beach allowed each of us to enjoy the vacation at our own speed and in our own way. An added bonus was that there are countless delicious restaurants within a 10 minute drive.. Thank you for the home, Idina!! We will definitely be back! -Liz and Steven Curtis

My husband and I were very impressed with this home. It was extremely clean and the location to the beach can't be beat. Just a short drive to town or Atlantic Beach. The decor was inviting, cheerful and beachy. Showers worked great (good water pressure.) I would have preferred a king bed in the master, since it has the room for one, but we made do. Great walk in closet. We didn't use the downstairs too much, but it is set up perfectly with a family room, bathroom and two bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. We will definitely be returning. The neighbors were very friendly.

We enjoyed our stay as a family at Isle Stay Awhile March/April 2021. The house was clean, updated and well-decorated, as well as very nicely laid out for a family of 5. The kids appreciated the separate space in the lower level with the giant flat screen tv and sectional sofa to fulfill all of their gaming needs while the adults enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the peaceful sounds of the ocean and witnessing the occasional dolphin sightings. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet retreat for your family!
