I stayed here with a group of college friends to celebrate a big birthday together. The house was wonderful. We enjoyed the deck facing the marsh every night, cooked meals in the well equipped kitchen, took advantage of the kayaks and bikes and felt right at home. We did rent a golf cart which helped us get our stuff to and from the beach (which is easily walkable without all the gear).
Sarah, the owner, was always super responsive and helpful.
It was a great stay and I highly recommend it.

So many extra's with this house, Bikes, rods, kayak's, crab pots and walkable to the beach. Lazy bench swing overlooking a beautiful pod full of peepers at night. There is something fun and well thought out everywhere you turn.

The house, amenities and communication with manager/ owner could not have been better. The house is spacious and beautiful with magical surroundings and landscaping with easy proximity to the beach. We could not have been happier!!! Be sure we will return. Thanks so very, very much.

We LOVED our stay here. The house had plenty of room for our family of 7. We had room to spread out, but the living room and dining room also gave us the option to spend time together. The covered patio was a family hangout favorite for us. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, and the house had proximity to anything we needed. We would stay here again in a heart beat. We would absolutely recommend this house, and Emerald Isle.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Close enough to the beach. Bikes were very useful to tote items to the beach w us. I would recommend to any family. Our middle son is a marine so it was convenient for him to come here to stay and meet with family.

Absolutely Perfect
Description of the property along with the reviews are spot on. Sarah couldn't have communicated with us any better and our stay was excellent. The biggest takeaways were the great views of the intracoastal throughout the home, cleanliness, beautiful and unique property, and the availability of everything you need for your stay. We didn't even use the beach towels we brought and were able to cook multiple meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Overall though, the owner was superb and even went through all the trouble to immediately mail some items we left at the property. Perfect stay.

I enjoyed my trip to Emerald Isle and my stay at this property. I visited for a week with my husband, two small children, and my parents. They layout of the house worked well for us. My husband and our children stayed in the upstairs bedrooms and the fact that they are connected worked well for us. My parents stayed in the downstairs bedroom and were able to have some privacy. The only part of the house that didn’t work well for small children was the bathtub. There is only one bathtub in the house and it’s an older, jetted tub. It’s very deep and it’s difficult to bathe small children in it.
The house is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and you do need to cross a main road. We rented a golf cart which made things much easier. There is plenty of golf cart parking at the beach access. My five year old enjoyed exploring the frog pond and dock, but we did find that even with bug repellent on we got quite a few bites. The house is also within easy driving distance to the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Macon, both of which were interesting day trips.
The house was clean, as were all of the linens. We did encounter some bugs in the kitchen, bathroom, and front room. The owners have been working with an exterminator, so hopefully they will be cleared up soon.
Overall, we had a lovely time at this house.

Peaceful spot for family gathering
This lovely, Emerald Isle house is located on Archer Creek--a salt marsh tributary that leads to the intercoastal sound. The house was clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful. The beach is a short bike ride away (on the fleet of single-speed, wide tire, adult bikes that are available at the house. A trailer attached to one of the bikes carried all our gear). The configuration of bedrooms upstairs is really best for a family. One of the bedrooms (the one with the full size bed) is only accessible by cutting through one or the other of the bedrooms (with queen or twin beds). We were fine with it, so it worked for us. The house has many different hangout spaces--so plenty of options for groups to gather, or find a little space apart. There are several different decks--a spacious one at the entry for catching beach gear and hanging out while waiting for your turn at the wonderful outdoor shower; the deck in the back has a view of the marsh and sunset with tables for cocktails and dining (along with a very nice, multi-fuel grill), and the one off the upstairs queen bedroom--perfect for early morning yoga. Sitting out on the dock in the salt marsh in the early am, or paddling on Archer Creek in the kayaks provided was also delightful. Sarah was prompt and helpful in all her correspondence. We would definitely return to this delightful home on Emerald Isle!

Family Getaway Destination
This was a very unique house with plenty of space for the whole family. There were so many cool living spaces between the outside decks, sunroom, 2 living rooms and outside areas...we had room to spread out and enjoy our Thanksgiving Holiday. We were especially impressed at how comprehensive the kitchen was from bakeware to gadgets to glassware! My son brought his small skiff and was able to dock it at the house, and we enjoyed the use of the 6 bikes to get to the beach and explore the island. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations.

Family retreat
One of the best houses we have ever stayed at. So open and interesting, great views and light everywhere. Extensive decks, private with big yard- frog pond kayaks and paddle boards were great bonus. Very relaxing with friend’s wedding 5 miles away. We Loved it!

Great house, Great Weekend
We had a wonderful stay at this sound side house this weekend.
The view from the deck is lovely and the outdoor entertaining area is wonderful with a tiki bar and lights.
The sun room is also a peaceful place to relax and look towards the sound.
The kitchen is updated and well-stocked and there is plenty of space in the living/dining areas for extended family and friends.
The beds were comfortable and linens provided. The upstairs are close quarters and the bedrooms are all connected (but with doors that close), so that may be best for family and close friends.
The beach is not far away. It’s a bit of walk if you have kids and a lot of beach gear, but definitely walkable. We rented a golf cart and I do recommend that. There are golf cart parking spaces and beach access just straight across 58. So it’s easy.
Owner was accessible and easy to ask questions of.
We would stay here again for sure.

Fantastic location!
We had a wonderful time staying on Emerald Isle! The beach house is quintessential & the location can’t be beat. We celebrated our son’s birthday here and found everything needed in the well-stocked kitchen.
The downstairs bedroom is a bit musty smelling but the upstairs bedrooms were great - the only tricky thing being that both showers are downstairs.
There is plenty of space to gather in various areas for a larger group, the sunlight streams into most rooms, and the swing by the Lilly pad pond is a wonderful treat. There are bikes for a quick ride to a glorious beach, with a bike rack just at the end of the path to the beach. The bikes have definitely seen better days, but they did the trick! The creek out back drains and fills with the tides and my husband was able to take a spin with the kayak one evening - it smells a bit funky back there, but it is beautiful nonetheless and I suspect that’s par for the course.
Overall, a great stay in a lovely house and the hosts were quick to answer questions. This is a good one!

Wonderful location, beautiful house
We enjoyed this beautiful, spacious and clean house. The sheets, towels, kitchenware and beds were top-notch. The outdoors are wonderfully designed as well. It was amazing to have the bikes at our disposal. We loved cycling around with the kids. The house is a 5 minute bike ride from the beach and very close to restaurants, cafes. We absolutely loved Emerald Isle and in particular the Point Beach. Big thanks to the hosts!!

Relaxing beach house
We had a great time at this beach house! The location was prefect. 5 minute bike ride and next thing you know you'll find yourself sitting in front of the emerald colored ocean not wanting to be anywhere else. The exterior landscape of the house was welcoming and the view amazing, especially around golden hour. The inside of the house was also quite comfortable with a lot of different areas to hang out. We loved the sun-room right next to the outdoor patio. The downstairs bedroom had a nice view but we found the bed and the full bathroom to be a bit small. The only inconvenience we could think of were the bedrooms upstairs. The large bedroom with its own patio is directly connected to two smalls bedrooms (probably one room divided in 2) that can only really be suitable for guests that are parents and want to have their small children in close proximity or guests who are just looking for a place to sleep without much need for privacy. Other than that, everything you might need to spend a few days at the beach is provided. We found the kitchen to be very practical as we had all the supplies we needed to cook. What sets this home apart from many AirBnb's we've stayed was its genuiness–we loved the fact that it looked like a vacation house that's been cared for and wasn't just a typical rental.
