The location and view of this property is perfect…but that’s about it. This property is dirty, worn and has a serious bug issue. We had two live bugs in our living room as soon as we checked in. Not small bugs…large water bugs. I understand them being on the ground level due to moisture in the area…but when they are on the second and THIRD floor of the property, there is a major issue. We had two large, live bugs in our bedroom. I called the property management company and they sent someone out the next day. That basically did nothing. We had them on our walls, running across the floor, and on the steps…to the third floor of the house. Clearly there is a major issue here. The owner informed me that they just had Orkin out there to spray on Oct 8th…again, there is a clear issue happening. The house was not clean, it is very worn out (furniture, kitchen items, and bathrooms). Do yourself a huge favor and higher a better cleaning company and a weekly pest control until you get things under control.

The team had a wonderful time. Enjoyed game night. The jacuzzi was warm and clean. The view and the weather was the best. Loved the joined open units. Allowed for separate meetings

Let me preface with, I understand it was the end of the season. The house we chose was both sides of a duplex because we needed two king bedrooms and at least 4 queen bedrooms to accommodate the six couples and a one year old. We’ve been to Emerald Isle many times and the Pinnacle seemed to fit all of our needs with a pool and large deck. Pros: The double kitchens were great. The aforementioned pool was fantastic. The views were amazing, as well as the proximity to shopping. Cons: The description of the house mentions that one of the master bedrooms has a kids bed. It does not. My family would probably never be described as neat freaks, but the owners desperately need a new cleaning service. We were all surprised by the overall cleanliness of the house at check in. Yes, it’s the beach. Done it 15-20 times, but the amount of dust on the nightstands and dressers was crazy. The floors were sticky like they weren’t really mopped. My bigger concerns were the condition of the showers. The doors had lots of mildew and the shower floors weren’t very clean. The linen service wasn’t much better. Sheets and pillowcases were way past their lifespan. Fortunately, the towels were better and plentiful. I’m a little meh on the actual value for the cost. I’ve certainly spent more on some places and spent less for others. Overall, my family had a great time because we were all together and the beach is always a great vacation! I just have to give some thought if I’ll use VRBO again.

This home was perfect for 5 of my single children and my husband and I. My 82 yr old mother-in-law also joined us. My MIL was able to sleep on the first floor on one side and my kids could be on the other side in the living area with the adjoining door closed hanging out without disturbing. The two kitchens were perfect! We deemed one the "baking" kitchen and the other a "meal prep" kitchen. The pool and hot tub were awesome and were well used in the evenings. Loved the views from the deck and balcony. The gazebo was a nice touch as my MIL could sit and rest after taking short walks before coming up the steps inside. The view there was also breathtaking. The only thing that was an issue is that the many steps to/from the beach from the main level were a challenge for my 82 yr old MIL. Also, as she had to sleep on the main floor the bathroom she used had a low toilet which she struggled getting up and down on and couldn't take a shower since she couldn't step into the tub. Because of these things if you have someone who is physically challenged this house is not for you. Overall , despite the challenges, it was a great week for our family. We would definitely rent it again if my MIL was not with us.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Pinacle. The houses are airy and well maintained. The pool is superb, the beach not crowded, there are plenty of chairs, well equipped kitchens, fabulous laundry facility. Everything worked out great for our extended family of 10. If you stay, it is best to use the vacuum cleaner provided to keep the house sand free or at least as much as possible. Enjoy!

Good

We loved this house so much we barely left the house. We spent our entire week going back and forth from the beach and pool all day. We loved being able to see the ocean from the pool area and hot tub. We also enjoyed the short walk to the pier and Sunset Slush. We had ages 4 to 82 and everyone had a great time!!!
