Sleeps 5! 2 BR, 2.5BA Townhome-Walk to Beach & Dining – Your Escape Awaits!

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay and would 100% recommend this townhouse to anyone visiting Emerald Isle! The home was incredibly comfortable, clean, welcoming, and truly felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was very well stocked, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and we loved that both bedrooms had their own bathroom. There were so many thoughtful touches, including extra blankets in the closets and even a fan for those of us who need one to sleep!The location was perfect. We walked to and from the beach every day—it was a short, easy walk and we felt very safe in the area. Having the beach wagon and chairs provided was a huge bonus and made beach days so easy. We also loved the screened-in patio and outdoor patio and were able to walk to nearby restaurants like Gaffer’s.One thing to note: although bikes are pictured in the listing photos, bikes are not currently included with the rental. There is a nearby place to rent them, though, and it was very reasonable, about 30/day or 50 for three days.The owners were wonderful and very responsive. If you’re planning a trip to Emerald Isle, this is an amazing place to stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

"We enjoyed our visit. This home offers 180 degree views of the Sound. We enjoyed the cycle of tides and water activity in such a peaceful setting. Staying on the Sound with convenient beach access was really perfect for us. The house is well appointed, and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. There are good quality appliances and comfortable beds. We’ll be back."
