Gorgeous property with an even more gorgeous beach and view. We had never stayed in Emerald Isle prior to this trip, but after exploring the island, we found this location to be ideal. You’re close enough to walk or bike to restaurants and grocery stores, but it’s far from the high rise buildings so you feel you almost have the beach all to yourself (or at least we did during early April). The convenience of being able to walk down to the beach straight from the large deck was priceless. We loved everything about this place: the furnishings were clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the beds were awesome. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to cook in (we cooked a lot of meals as we didn’t want to leave the house and the view!) We had a range of ages from three teenagers to grandparents in their 70s, and everyone was happy and comfortable. We rented bikes from Beach Wheels which were inexpensive and convenient since they deliver and pick up. We also went kayaking at Barrier Island Kayaks, which we really enjoyed. Emerald Isle Woods Park was a short bike ride away and has a great frisbee golf course and a put-in for kayaks/SUPs. Owner had great, fast communication. Highly recommend this spot for a family getaway.
