Wonderful

Property was exactly as described. Sleeping was comfortable, and the location cannot be beat. Our host, Jeff, was responsive and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
This is a wonderful location and beautiful area. The beach was amazing, an easy walk from the condo, and not crowded. The pool was shaded and a wonderful place to cool off at the end of a beach day.
As we walked into the place things were clean, in order, and the lay out fit my family. My wife was surprised that there were 3 floors so that definitely gave us a little room to spread out. We really enjoyed our stay!
We were very pleased with the house for the price we paid. The location was great as it was basically right on the beach and was not crowded AT ALL. That was the biggest plus for us. Would definitely come back again.
The property was amazing. Was perfect for me an my crew. Everything was neat an clean. Very simple process. The owner was always available if needed. Nice pool area an only an extremely short walk to the beach. Will definitely book here again.
We had a quick weekend to get away to the beach, sand, waves, & sun, and this condo had all we needed and was perfect for us! On the ocean side, quiet, plenty of space, and clean. Beautiful beach. Would come again! Thank you!
This property is exactly as advertised. Clean, easy check in/out, and location could not be better. The photos reflect exactly the condition of condo. Its a beautiful condo that is right on the beach. This is my family's second time visiting Emerald isle and it did not disappoint.
Townhouse is nice, roomy, and clean. Comfortable couches in living spaces. Great, peaceful location at Pine knoll shores. Excellent communication with the owner. Just need to provide wash cloths for showers and more toilet paper. Definitely recommend.
This property suited our family of three well. We did not cook any meals, so we didn't get a full look at the kitchen, appliances, etc. Dining area and lower level living area were spacious for us. Steps away and easy entry to the beach and pool area. Close proximity to grocery store, restaurants and aquarium. Pine Knoll Shores is very peaceful, but easy to get to Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach and Morehead City if you're looking for more activity.
Overall, a great property. clean and well maintained group of condos. Not directly oceanfront. Pictures are a bit misleading as they suggest "your own" boardwalk and OF deck. However, this is a shared boardwalk between shared OF deck and pool. The Pool was GREAT! Large, 3-8 ft deep, lots of seating, area to lounge in sun. No waterhose under carport, owner suggested we could use the neighbors hookup but we felt odd asking and the hookup was enclosed and covered in spiderwebs. Need more clothesline/clothespins in carport area. Condo had enough space and we didnt feel cramped! A wardrobe or dresser in the living room would be a welcome addition. Small ocean view balcony off the MB but no chairs. Would have been nice to sit on the balcony and watch ocean. Full size W/D was great!! Kitchen was "comfortable". Bring your own pots and skillets. Plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware. The sunroom seemed pointless to us as you cant leave the sliding door open with the AC on. Would have been a great seating area for eating but we didn't want to risk spills on the couch. Large dining table in adjoining room though. Bring stuff for meals or be prepared to drive for food! Hardly anyone delivers to the area, not even doordash! There are a few restaurants, Mcdonalds and bojangles are within 10 miles, gas stations, Food lion and dollar general are close. Beach hardly ever crowded. NO SHELLS or teeth though!
Great home, in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown, lots of parks and beach access points. Only downside is that for a large group there is only one guest bathroom for the 4 bedrooms and one bathroom in the master.
Check in was easy. The place was very close to the beach and the pool was private and nice. The furniture and the appliances are very dated, the dryer is very loud but it got the job done. I probably wouldn’t stay here again for the price only because there are property near the same area that are fully renovated that are cheaper. I did have a nice stay overall.
Very nice house. The community was very nice and inviting. The house was clean and the beds were comfy. The check in process was very easy and the owner was easy to reach. There are multiple stairs so if you can’t take steps this might not be the house for you. We enjoy ourselves very much and will be booking here again. Thank you for an amazing week!!
We absolutely loved this place! The location was great and because it was a smaller set of condos rather than a huge complex, the beach wasn’t crowded nor was the pool. The owner was super friendly and answered my questions quickly.
