Emerald Isle Getaway w/ Decks & Beach Views!

Reviews

• Emerald Isle Stay

  5/5

  The property was even better than expected! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will keep it in mind for next time we are down!

  Only thing we noticed was that the water has a bad stench and the one toilet wouldn’t flush but after some elbow grease (plunging) we got it.

  The other downfall we had was our neighbors and garbage, they weren’t very considerate of others staying because they filled up both garbages before we could even take a bag out.

• Great outdoor space and quiet

  4/5

  This was exactly as advertised and fit 5 adults without issue. It was not as clean as we had hoped but overall we really enjoyed our stay.

  Location was decent, had lots of unexpected things seemingly left behind from previous guest- beach toys, balls, and chalk that my daughter loved. Would have been nice to have a safety gate at the top of the stairs. Very spacious, lots of beds and baths. The TV in one of the living spaces was not working but one was delivered during our stay, it would have been nice if someone would have came to set it up as we didn’t want to be responsible for moving and setting up a new TV. There was quite a bit of unwanted hair throughout the house and the dishes all had to be washed prior to personal use. The coffee pot was growing mold and really needed a scrubbing, and it would be nice if a bottle brush was provided to help keep this cleaner. The garage was huge but the ping pong table had a lot of mold growing all over it. My husband spent about a hour making the garage clean enough for us to feel comfortable letting our daughter play and touch things in that space. There was also noticeable water spots above the ping pong table that probably need to be addressed before mold becomes a health concern. The walk to the beach was not terrible, about 5 mins but beware of the splintering boardwalk( not the fault of the rental). It would have been great to have a hose to rise off with when coming back from the beach for all the sand. Just a hose spigot there currently. Also a few of the doors to the decks were hard to open due to rust and oxidation from the ocean water. Overall it was a great stay but we definitely think it could have used a deep clean at this time.

  This property was an excellent home away from home. Everything needed for island life was available. Thank you for making this a memorable experience.
