We have just returned from a wonderful and relaxing stay at this lovely home. Perfect for a family getaway. The location is AMAZING...literally right on the beach. One set of stairs and your feet are in the sand. Plus lovely views, ocean breezes, and the sound of waves crashing. The house is just two blocks away from the wonderful Emerald paved biking path which is great for walking, running, and biking. An easy trip into town for shrimp burgers or ice cream or to the point of Emerald Isle. We found this house to be spacious, clean and comfortable. Linens and towels were fresh and beds were comfortable. The kitchen is compact but very well equipped for a rental. We found everything we needed for cooking several meals in, plus some added bonuses including multiple coffee maker options, a crockpot, and a George Foreman grill. Nice new large refrigerator. Comfortable sofas and a nice big tv for watching movies plus a strong wifi connection. The outdoor grill, several bicycles, and the kayaks all available for us to use were added bonuses! Anne, the owner, was very friendly and accomodating. She responded quickly to our questions before and during our stay. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again!
