Emerald Isle Escape: Walk to Ocean

Reviews

• Ideal for family gathering

  5/5

  We stayed five nights in Emerald Isle with five adults and one 6-year-old and this home was ideal for our needs. The space was open, clean, and comfortable; the layout allowed semi-private spaces for everyone; the public beach access is only a short walk down the street; and the kitchen is well-stocked with dishes and cookware. We would certainly stay here again next time we are in the area!

  We enjoyed our stay at this house in Emerald Isle. It’s in a great neighborhood and close to the beach. We would stay here again.

• Exactly as expected

  The place was exactly like the pictures and the location was incredible. We had some trouble turning the AC cooler during the day and suspect it may have been on a timer but beyond that we had no complaints. Would stay there again.

  3/5

  The house was decorated nicely and we had plenty of room to spread out. We appreciated that it was a pet friendly rental and that the linens were provided.

  Pros:

  Good location. A few blocks from beach access by foot and a short drive to restaurants and shops.

  Roomy. The downstairs area was perfect for when members of the party had had enough "togetherness".

  Quiet area with just the faint sound of the ocean and the birdsong.

  Cons:

  Broken dishwasher. Who wants to wash dishes by hand on vacation? No dish liquid.

  Non-functional ice maker. There was a bag of ice in the freezer, though.

  Loose bathroom tiles. We put a bath mat over the area so no one would trip.

  Smoke detector was disconnected and on the bedroom dresser.

  Bedroom had no curtains, only blinds. Made sleeping past dawn very difficult.

  TV remote had no batteries.

  Many of the broken items were known by the rental company at the time of the rental, as they included a note enumerating them in the info packet at pick-up. However, we didn't receive any rebate on the rental cost. For the price we paid I expected everything to function. Overall, it was an okay house. But, for the cost it should have been better maintained.
