Summer Vacation

Our family had a wonderful time at Dunecliff East. The house was well suited four our vacation with 5 adults and 2 small children. Scott and Christy were fantastic hosts and responded very quickly to two (very) minor issues that occurred during our stay. If you're looking for an oceanfront home for a family getaway, you don't need to look any further.

Amazing Beach House

My family and I could not have been happier with our stay at Emerald Isle. This house was perfect. Exactly as advertised. Lots of amenities and right on the beach. The host contacted us several times prior to our trip. And gave us several great recommendations. I highly recommend staying at this property. I would definitely book again. The location is perfect.

One of Emerald Isle's best beach houses!

We had nine in our group, including four 70+ year olds, three 30/40 year olds and two younger folks, 14 and 19. It was the perfect place for our group, plenty of bedrooms and baths, well stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies and paper products, lots of beach chairs and sand toys, propane grill -- we couldn't have asked for more. The hosts communicated frequently and were most cooperative and helpful. Will definitely stay there again.

Perfect Ocean Front Home!

The property, location and owners were amazing. It was by far the best stocked rental kitchen I have ever experienced. The house is extremely comfortable and decorated so beautifully. There were so many extras that made the place perfect. I have only good things to say about our family beach trip!

Incredible place

Our stay could not have been better! What a beautiful home in a perfect location. It is clear that this is a place that the owners genuinely care about. All the little touches - the welcome bag, the fully stocked kitchen, the beach chairs and toys, and the prompt response to our questions made this an exceptional vacation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with our family!

Cannot beat the view!!

What a treasure. After a tough year for our family, we were looking for a place to relax, unwind and break away from the chaos of the day to day. When I say Dunecliff East delivered that and more, it is not an exaggeration. It is exactly as pictured, and more! You simply cannot beat the location - not only for proximity to the beach and the incredible view 24 hours a day, it is also conveniently close to everything you need including groceries etc. It is easy to spend the entire day on the beach, or take short trips down to the water to entertain little ones (having 4 kids; 3 of which are 4 and under, this is essential) and spend time under the awning overlooking the water for a small break from the sand and sun. We probably spent more time on the deck than inside! The home was clean, inviting and the hosts were very communicative, flexible and sent fabulous suggestions for food and local places to check out. They left a very kind note and welcome bag as well. The kitchen was well stocked and it was SO helpful to have tons of beach toys for the kids provided and not have to bring those with us. Even the internet connection was good, which in our experience at beaches is somewhat rare. Unfortunately, a few of us had to work while we were away and having that was very helpful. We had an incredible time and hope to come back in the future!

Perfect Beach House

We have found our new favorite beach house! They have thought of everything and the added extras and well supplied kitchen made our stay one of the best. Beds were all comfy and bed linens were not scratchy. Some of the bath towels were a little worn but there were plenty of fluffy ones mixed in. Supplying beach chairs was a special treat. We will bring some grilling tools next time and leave the chairs at home. How wonderful to have the coveted beach tent tag too. Hoping to be in the same house next year for our annual trip to one of our favorite places!
