Such a fun place to stay! We loved being tucked back in the woods and only a short walk to the beach was perfect for us! In the evenings, we enjoyed ping pong and darts mostly. We also played several games that were provided. It was a great trip to the beach for us!
The house was very clean and was stocked with all the amenities you could need. The walking trail to the beach worked perfectly and provides shade if you’re hauling a lot of stuff. Biljana was amazing to deal with and I would definitely consider booking this place again!
What a great spot! Easy walk to the beach, close to everything and tucked away to give a secluded retreat feel! Owners super responsive and hospitality was top notch! Recommend this house for sure and we will be staying here again!
Property was very quiet and relaxing. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The property was stocked with everything you would need when traveling. It was very clean and we really enjoyed our stay.
This is our second time at this property. It is perfect for our family. We love the privacy and location. The house has everything we need. Love coming back each year.
The check in process was super smooth and we even were able to check in early! The house was very clean. Having a beautiful path for a short walk to the beach was AMAZING. Biljana checked in on us through text when we got there which was very sweet. House is beautifully located and well kept. Definitely would stay again.
My family of 6 stayed for 6 days and would certainly recommend this place to anyone, with kids or not. My kids walked to the beach every single day, we had game night upstairs regularly, soaked up the sun on every deck, and just made memories we will never forget. <3 Thank you so much for sharing your incredible home!
This house and location were great! The owners check on us and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were so pleasant and communication was quick! We found the property to be clean and very comfortable- a true home away from home. We loved the quiet and seclusion. Plenty of things to do, but the beaches were the best! We could have easily stayed for another week. Thanks for an amazing trip!!
We ventured to Emerald Isle with another family and was impressed with the vacation home. The home was clean, spacious, comfortable, and accommodating. The host communicated with us prior to arriving and that gave us comfort with asking questions about our stay and protocol. We adored the shady walk to the beach and found it to be easy & quick for 4-6 year olds. We would recommend this home and host without hesitation and hope that we can return annually.
A fantastic location! Awesome amenities at the house. Loved the split level set up — game room on first, bedrooms on second, kitchen/living on third. Porches galore! We especially enjoyed them in the evenings and mornings. Beach was an easy/short walk for all ages (3 to 70). So many toys, chairs, bike offerings at the house too.
Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again.
We had a fabulous time! The house was beautiful and so spacious. Everything we needed was supplied. There was a cabinet of board games and a game room downstairs. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and appliances that made it easy to cook and serve food. The host was communicative even before we checked in. It was a dream vacation!
Cleanliness was great. All the comforts of home at the Point. Quiet, secluded and relaxing. Sleeping was best I’ve had in 5 years. Every amenity you can think of. Loved seeing the deer passing through. No hang ups or issues of any kind. Hope to return
We stayed for a family weekend wedding. Biljana was wonderful to work with, it was a plus for us being in the same neighborhood as my parents home. This home is very spacious and private with all the trees. Everyone was comfortable with sleeping. Master shower is great!!! Highly recommend this property. Lots of space in the well equipped kitchen. Loved the wine refrigerator to keep your drinks cold.
While this property isn't right on the water, there's a great little walkway directly to the beach access. We happened to stay while a cyclone ripped through the area, so keep in mind that this walkway can get flooded during the rainy season. Even so, it's easy enough to just take the road around the block. We loved having the ping pong area in the basement, and having the house pre-stocked with necessities was a major plus. There were some bikes on the property that worked great, and we even took the corn hole to the beach. Last, David and Biljana are amazing and responsive, I highly recommend the place!
The place itself was lovely, in a great location and there were ample activities at the house to use, although half the bikes were barely holding together. The positives end there.
Apparently one of our friends broke a patio seat. I apologized and told her to run it through the insurance. This did not stop them from sending multiple texts lecturing us about it.
I thought that was the end of it, a lecture from someone that isn’t my mother, but no. A month after my stay I receive a text asking to mail back a Roku remote we “stole”. I don’t know why she would think we stole a cheap remote from her place, maybe because we are young 20 somethings that supposedly broke a chair, that insurance covered. This text a month later was completely unprofessional and completely uncalled for, because story didn’t even ask if we had it, they just assumed, telling us to mail it back.
I would recommend this place if you are staying with a family maybe, but staying with friends and being treated like a child is not okay in any respect. We paid a pretty penny for the place, and bought insurance for the off-chance something did happen, and it covered the patio chairs. I do not need to be inappropriately lectured for the chair nor the remote we didn’t steal.
In short, I would not stay here again because the professionalism was not there.
We had a great stay at EI. The house was clean and just a short walk to the beach. There was so much to do and we would recommend staying here to anyone.
Perfect place for our family. Clean, excellent beach amenities, easy 3 minute walk to the beach. House was absolutely perfect and would highly recommend to others. Checkin was easy and owner very extremely responsive.This part of Emerald Isle is beautiful, quiet and charming.5 stars!
