I feel as though I should mention that it is upstairs...but other than that it was exactly what was described!! We were very satisfied with our stay 😊
The place was clean and cute. Good place to stay for the place.

Owner's Response: "Thank you for your review for West of the Moon. West of the Moon is only 30 yards from the beach sand. Here, you have a wonderful view of the ocean and hear the waves break on the shore. The place is ideal for couples and families. The linens are provided free of charge and the beds are made before your arrival. Positives include flat-screen TVs in every room, strong bunk beds, solid deck, beach wagon with 4 beach chairs and beach umbrella, sand castle play set, with an easy short walk to the beach, plenty of parking space, private charcoal and gas grills just for your family, deck table and chairs, picnic table, and property staff that live close by to handle all issues and recommend good places for family outings. After several days, you began complaining about very small issues, which we agreed to fix after you left to not interfere with your vacation, because they were so small. First, there was a small 2-inch string of carpet, which we cut off. Second, 1 of the 15 drawer handles in the kitchen was loose, which we tightened. Third, 1 of 7 TV trays did not work, which we threw away (there were still 6 TV trays that worked perfectly). Fourth, the handle on the screen door to the deck was old, which we replaced. These were all small issues. All the furniture is recent, especially the beds and dressers. The couch in the living room is very large and all Smart TVs have free access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling (blue and orange), and Hulu for hundreds of channels and movies. A printer/scanner and paper are at the property for use with the very fast internet. West of the Moon is far enough from the pier to find a nice uncrowded beach area but close enough to the Emerald Isle town center to get to restaurants, shops, and the movie theater. You can even walk to the excellent and friendly local tavern, The Emerald Club. Also, the kitchen is stocked with everything you would want including a microwave, blender, waffle iron, and all types of new cooking wares and cutlery. In addition, there is a private washer and dryer near the kitchen. We look forward to your return to West of the Moon and hope you can enjoy the experience instead of searching for minute issues such as a 2-inch carpet string."
