We stayed at this property, our first trip to Emerald Isle after a decade staying in Buxton (OBX). The pictures do not do this listing justice, it is fantastic. Location: mid-east end of the island. Within minutes of shopping and restaurants. Right across the street from a great NC aquarium. The benefit is that since the area is residential, there is not the mass of cars and people in more populated areas. There are some great restaurants and seafood markets nearby. Beaufort is a must visit town with some good eats and shopping. Property: Lots of dishes, cooking supplies, cleaning supplies, towels, in-room laundry, closet and storage space, private balcony, functioning and updated smoke/CO alarms (fire service professional here) as well as a facility alarm system, elevators, and luggage carts. The private balcony alone makes this location worthwhile. Plenty of parking with easy access in and out. Fantastic beach location literally steps away from the water. Outdoor hose and shower, too! Onsite pool with lots of chairs and space is also well maintained and very clean. The owners/guests were all very friendly. Awesome location for families! Owner: Liz was very responsive and helpful for tips and anything we may have needed. We communicated several times throughout our stay, and she was very professional and helpful. Overall, we felt as if we were staying in the condo of a friend/relative. We cannot recommend the location or owner enough and cannot wait to return!

We can't say enough about how nice this stay was and we loved everything about it. The condo was so nicely appointed and stocked with everything we would ever need. The location was perfect; beach and ocean views from the moment you enter the front door. Nice pool and easy beach access. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable and the beds were heavenly. Liz was very communicative and quick to respond, although things were so good we barely needed to reach out. Some highlights: the deck was amazing, and we took full advantage of the kitchen; cooked several meals there and had plenty of room to dine together with our group of 5 1/2. The area has plenty to do if just having the beach out your backdoor isn't enough; we visited the nearby aquarium and traveled nearby to great restaurants and even took a boat to Harkers Island which has an amazing beach and lighthouse. I will definitely look to rent again if and when we decide on another beach trip to Pine Knolls Shores. 5* all the way!

Our family of four (two teens) stayed for a week at this amazing place. This unit is clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is steps from the ocean. The view from the master bedroom and family room is spectacular. We loved getting up in the morning and enjoying our breakfast with a view of the ocean. We spent our days on the beach with a quick trip back to the unit for lunch or a short break. There are restaurants a short drive away. We particularly enjoyed Amos Mosquito. We also did a day trip to Beaufort with lunch at Front Street Grill, the Maritime Museum (free entry or make small donation), shopping and ice cream. We looked forward to coming home in the evening to a comfortable living space and beds and doing the same the next day. Highly recommend booking this place.
