The pictures of the area are misleading. They insinuate an ocean side unit. The floors were not clean, under the bed in the master bedroom was disgusting. There were roach/rat droppings and hair in all of the drawers and in the cabinets. The only reason we’re giving a 2 star rating is because they gave us the option of a late checkout at our convenience. The 4:00 pm check-in steals more than a day from your stay, yet you pay for a full days stay. The cleaning fee is outrageous. My wife didn’t want to check in but I convinced her to do so, with the hopes of having the issues taken care of. She wouldn’t do it unless the floors were cleaned and she did that herself. The damage fee was included in our overall price but we did not opt in for that. They seemed upset that we wanted to check-in early after a 15 hour drive. I did speak with the owner and she half-heartedly offered “a gift card or a late checkout”. I don’t know if we would stay at this place again, unfortunately.

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!

Was easy to communicate with the property management. The unit was as described in the listing.

My family enjoyed our visit to the beach. The property is a short walk to the beach. Very close to shopping and restaurants.

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!
