Beautiful beach, but the house has potential for improvemenr

+ wonderful beach and its proximity to the beach - house is a bit run down and would need improvement - the kitchen cabinet and utensils (e.g. pans) were dirty - the kitchen ill equipment (3 large plates for 5 people) - torn towel - stained sofa - stained kitchen towel With a little bit of more care you could easily improve the house. The location is superb and our stay was nevertheless memorable.

Good location but house needs fixed up

Property manager was helpful & responed quickly. But in text messaged before arrival we were told that after flushing toliet have to shake handle to keep it from running nonstop. Why not fix/replace toliet? And property on septic system so use water sparenly. Why this not on info for listing? Wooden floor boards have gaps & spot between kitchen & dining room where feels like sinking. When rain hard ceiling leaks in living room. Can tell happened before. Was told hairdryer can only be plug in outlet by diningroom table or will blow breaker. Kind of inconvenient for drying long hair and no mirror to see to fix hair

Relaxing getaway close to the beach

We had a wonderful time exploring Emerald Isle! Our property manager was very quick to respond to questions and concerns, and addressed them immediately. The condo was comfortable, and very close to the beach, but could have been a little cleaner for our liking. It was definitely a pet friendly place, and our dog loved it there. They also provided a bunch of beach gear, which was really appreciated, and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for making our trip enjoyable!

Great location Poor maintenance

Great location as far as beach access and accessibility! It has very great potential. The flooring had very large cracks in between pieces and not talking just a couple or few! there was a lot! There was mold on the bottom of the shower curtain. Bedroom closet door was falling off. The worst had to be the deck as the nails on the deck were sticking up so bad that I went and bought a hammer to drive them down so my 4 year old grand daughter would not get hurt on them! Also the patio furniture was extremely rusty! While there there was a person that checked in to another unit outside that refused to check in because her unit was dirty and had not been cleaned at all! The whole thing was kind of iffy because they allow pets and there was big pets there during our stay so if they are not cleaning properly it is my thoughts where are the pets sleeping? Our grand daughter ended up with bites on her arms and legs just thinking it could of been flea bites! Would not do it again but that is a shame with the potential the place has and the price it cost!

3 out of 5 because it was OK

3 adults and 2 kids. 4 nights. Biggest positive was the distance to beach and rapid response from the property manager. Hotel would have been less expensive, cleaner, and less of a headache. Only enough toilet paper on site for one bathroom break. Brought it the property manager attention, was told "could always go get your own". Shower rod kept falling. Front hose was riddled with holes. There was large amounts of rust on just about everything metal, patio furniture, provided beach equipment, freezer, sink, bathroom. Moldy shower curtain. The "maintenance guy" that was sent, seemed incredibly bothered to be there and started complaining about a tenant who needed toilet paper, apparently didn't know we were the ones that requested there to be some on site. We went without power for the night because the breaker tripped. All-in-all the property just seemed to be patched over with numerous bandaids. Needs to be nicer or cost should go down.

Perfect location

First time taking our dog with us on a family getaway and we were delighted to find this property so close to the beach and pet-friendly. It had everything we needed for our stay and the smart TV and Netflix were a bonus for an unexpected movie night. The property manager was awesome with great communication and made everything so easy for us.

The place is located right across the street from the beach vehicle access. Can’t beat the location. Although it’s not the most up to date place to stay, it served its purpose of getting to the beach for the weekend.

Pros and cons.

Pros: gorgeous views from huge windows. You can see the ocean All rooms were equipped with good TV’s with every streaming service Check-in was a breeze Cons: All grills on the property were completely rusted through and unusable. My daughter had bug bites every morning from the twin bed in the small room. We left a night early because it became unbearable The place is good, but just one notch from being bad. Everything is very old, and the shower curtain appears to not have been replaced in years. Mold. Overall, the windows and the view, and the evening movies make this place good. Just beware of the twin bed and don’t take food to grill. Bring your own broom. Don’t sleep in the small bed.

Great stay

That was a very good stay. I would give 4.5 stars to the property and would add half star back for the helpfulness of the property management. The location of the property is great, the beach is just three minute walk away. The view from the main room window is very nice, you can actually see the ocean between the ocean-front houses. The property is quite clean, and it matches the description very well. The only downside is the bathroom being rather dated, although fully functional and usable. On the other hand, the sign-in and sign-out was a breeze. Also, on one occasion we managed to lock ourselves out of the apartment, and the property manager was so nice to respond to our call immediately and drive to let us back in on that late weekend evening. Thank you, Danielle!

Good for a small family

This property is one block from the beech. There were charcoal grills, three TVs with streaming services already set up, and comfortable furnisings. The bathroom and kitchen are typical of beech properties, a bit outdated and there was no dishwasher. The kitchen had most cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes needed to cook. There were dehumidifiers that helped the AC cool the appartment. We would rent the property again.

Great for a family or small group

Missing some key things that prevented it from being 5 stars for us. There was no cooking oil or other basics, and no proper dishwashing tools (just a baby bottle brush) which was kind of inconvenient since there is no dishwasher and doing dishes was part of the checkout process. Steep cleaning fee. But overall super comfy living area and perfect location.
