Tranquil serenity!

Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful from the balconies or the beach! The decor with beach theme throughout was adorable. We walked down the beach for lunch by the pier. Our host was very thorough and communicated well. Giving suggestions for area places to visit too. I recommend this location to anyone looking to get away from it all!

Laurie, I waited to write this, but when you gave it a five star I knew I had to respond. Wednesday was a day of the condo being worked on, front door blocked with ladders and people and debris falling down on us when we left and came back. We have pictures. So it was not worthy of 5 stars. Thursday was a better day and we left at 6 am Friday morning Meg

Wonderful Getaway

The location is convenient to many restaurants, grocery store if youvm forgot something and pharmacy. The view is nice. We stayed during the winter, making it nice and quiet just the way we like it. Owner was prompt to answer any questions I had prior to arrival.

We had our family vacation here and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate because of hurricane Debby so hoping to go back. Our host was so nice and stayed in touch with us to make sure everything was going ok and we were all safe.

A Lil' Nauti... Oh Behave!

This little oceanview condo is a delight, with quick access to both pools and a great patio view of the ocean. Our family thorough enjoyed the time spent at the location (with the exception of the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs... )!

This was our first visit to Emerald Isle. A Lil Nauti was wonderful and the owners were great to work with! Very clean condo with everything we needed for a week long stay. The beds were very comfortable so a great night's sleep came easy! Gorgeous views of the ocean and a very quick, easy beach access! Plus, two beautiful pools! The area made it easy to enjoy great food, shopping and time with family & friends! It definitely felt like home. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home!

I'm going to start off by saying that the location was perfect! two pools to choose from, walking distance to the beach. supplied with ample beach toys, chairs, umbrellas. The room was perfect, they supplied baby gates for the spiral stairs which came in handy with my children. they also supply everything you could ever need to make your meals in house. we had an exceptional time and hope to be back soon!

Sweet Sixteen Weekend Perfection!

I can’t say enough great things about this condo! We’ve stayed in beach houses for 15 years on Emerald Isle, but are new to condos. The owners have thought of everything from extra swiffer duster pads to lanterns by the sliding glass door for nights. Very well supplied kitchen- just like home. There is a culture in the home from renter to renter that keeps basic needs in stock- you just replace it if you use the last of it. I love this!!! It is so easy to forget hand soap or toilet paper when packing. There wasn’t one thing I would change. The king size bedroom is huge and could easily accommodate a pack-n-play. The queen bedroom has a daybed WITH a trundle. The home would sleep 6 comfortably for sure without being crammed. The relaxing view from the upstairs balcony is perfect for morning mimosas. Check out process was easiest of any place we’ve stayed. Owners have everything streamlined. We will be back for sure!

Lil Nauti was a great place to stay! There were a lot of stairs, but they proved to be good exercise. I was concerned about the spiral staircase, but that really wasn’t an issue at all. Would definitely book there again!

Great location and amenities

We loved the location and views. The place was well decorated and comfortable for our family of four. It had everything as advertised. The view was great and it was a close walk to the pool and beach. You can ride bikes anywhere and we had such a wonderful stay. The owner was very friendly and responsive before throughout and after the stay. We would stay there again.

Prelude to Summer

The condo was a cute, comfortable little getaway with beautiful views of the surroundings. Just off the main road it also provided a quiet retreat. The spring breezes kept the house fresh and comfortable. Laurie, our hostess, provided all the info we needed to enjoy a relaxing long weekend. The beach was beautiful and the water temp perfect. Dining was very good. We contracted with the local cleaner for linnen (contact provided) and were very happy. The climb to the entrance (3 flight) may be a concern for some but we had no issues. We're looking forward to returning in the fall.
