Everything we needed was there and ready for us to enjoy. House was clean and as described. The fenced in back yard was our dogs favorite thing. Just what we needed!

Loved the house with the fire pit. The kids love sitting out there around the fire. House was very clean and they were very generous with giving courtesy kcups, and a very kind welcome gift. Be sure to ask where the entrance to the water is and also the play ground. We did t need them this round. But if we did we would have needed directions. Great stay and very comfortable!
This location is fantastic. It’s close to everything including beach but secluded as well. It’s the last house on a dead end street with horses and chickens as neighbors. Very quiet neighborhood but very friendly neighbors
Such a beautiful home just a short walk from the sound. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to relax. Great community and communication from the host!
This house provided a welcoming, comfortable and quiet setting. The outside area had a deck, a fire pit , plus plenty of grassy space for games or just a place to relax. We were impressed with all the details the owner thought of to make you feel like you were at home once you walked in the front door. The bright, open living space was very welcoming. Many items you might have forgotten to bring were there such as tissues, hand soap at each sink, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.were provided . Any questions were answered promptly. We had a wonderful experience.
As described. Like new inside. Spacious. Great yard for dogs. Host was great with communication. Garage. Convenient but kind of off the beaten path. Peacful. Little porch was great for rain.
This was my first VRBO stay and it was amazing. The property was very quiet and was a great size both inside and out for my family to relax. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals and the host was wonderful.
Very comfortable and private. Large fenced yard great for pets and children. Great location. Large master suite is very comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied and easy to use. Definitely recommend.
Ideal setting, seclusion, and a securely fenced yard!
The diligent housekeeping created an atmosphere that was both warm and welcoming. Our family delighted in outdoor pleasures, such as the fire pit and bean bag toss, while exploring the charming locales of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, and Morehead City.
When we arrived, we were welcomed with chocolate and a bottle of wine. The house was very clean and cozy. The host was wonderful and quick to answer questions. Absolutely loved relaxing on the back porch and could have sat in that egg chair all day. It’s a very peaceful area at the end of the road right around the corner from sound access. While in the area, I definitely recommend visiting The Friendly Market for tasty local goodies! Overall extremely happy with our stay!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Peyman, the host, was very friendly and responsive. The layout was great and it was very clean. Also it was a convenient location to our family that we were visiting, shopping and the gorgeous Emerald Isle beaches. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.
The house is very nice on the inside and has great back yard. It has a secluded feeling even though it's in a subdivision. My youngest loved having the Alexa's in every room. The Host was extremely helpful and responded quickly when I had a question. Would book again!
I gave this VRBO 5 stars across the board! Everything is as you read it. The ONLY comment I have that's not a 5-star comment is that you can definitely tell someone has smoked inside the house. The owners may want to consider that since some people are very sensitive to that.
Thank you for a great stay!
Crystal Coast Charmer is quite a gem! We were very comfortable during our stay. Peyman thought of everything! And when we had questions, he was very quick to respond. The home is beautifully done and very clean. I would definitely stay here again!
We have just finished a week’s stay in this lovely home. There were five in our party - youngest being 14 and oldest 89 - it was very comfortable for all. My daughter loved the Alexa light colors in the living room and my father appreciated the accessibility of the home. The backyard is very private and inviting. We are all well traveled and have used vrbo several times in the past. This is the cleanest home we’ve ever stayed in! Peyman was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend this home for stress free and comfortable stay!!
We came down to visit with other family and wanted to be near the sound. The house is amazing and lots of amenities. So clean and new. Great fenced in back yard and great patio. Loved sitting out in the evenings. The house was comfortable and spacious for five people and one dog. It says sound view but that was a misnomer as you have to walk down the street and walk down the next street to see the sound. There was a sound public entrance but small. The host was very receptive and helpful. Would come back!
This house is adorable. So quant, but yet roomy for 5 adults. We had so much fun having evening fires. The host was extremely responsive. Everything was great, would stay there again!
