This was one of three houses my family recently rented for a family reunion. It was originally under Emerald Isle Realty and we had pre-reserved it, but it was sold before the summer came and put under a different realtor. I can't thank the owner enough for respecting and honoring the prior reservations that had made. He made a precarious situation into a secure one.
The house was lovely and comfortable. Great beds throughout. I know he is working to upgrade it and it showed. Beautiful new hot tub had been installed which we enjoyed.
Family had rented other half of duplex. They come back yearly and will stay there. When we decide to come back we will defiantly try to rent Castaway West.
From the owner: "Hi Eileen, Thank you for the review! We are so glad to hear you had another great vacation and family reunion in EI! It was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to having you back!"
Property needs to be taken care of. Carport light did not work. Door locks did not work. Broken chairs were left on the deck. House was full of flies and bathrooms were not cleaned well. The host or evolve were not helpful, we called during our stay, to get things handled appropriately. Please think twice before booking this property.

Hi Reena, thanks for taking the time to review your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
- We inspected the property shortly after your stay and did not find any flies. We maintain regular pest-control services to prevent infestations.
- Our maintenance personnel confirmed the door locks were functioning properly. No other guests have reported issues this season.
- The carport light operates with a main switch. Our property manager communicated this to you during your stay.
- We were not notified of any dirty bathrooms. Cleanliness is of utmost priority to us, and we would have promptly addressed this if informed.
- The broken chair on the deck was left by a previous guest. We do not advertise deck furniture and would have removed it if notified.
Once again, thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We had a wonderful stay at Castaway West! Very clean, spacious and comfortable.
