Lovely House and Location

The house was really well-appointed and in a great location. My group really loved the media room, the private walkway to the beach, and the gym in the garage (bonus points for having a Peloton bike!). The host was also really responsive and kind. The only recommendation I would make is that a keyless entry be installed. We had to drive to Emerald Isle to pick up the keys, and the traffic in Emerald Isle is really congested. It took approximately 45 minutes to drive 8 miles, and we could have avoided EI completely if there was keyless entry, as the house itself is in Pine Knoll Shores and could have been approached from Atlantic Beach. The process of checking in at an office and then being stuck in traffic felt unnecessary and made the check-in time more like 5:00 instead of 4:00. That being said, it was a minor inconvenience in the big scheme of things.

Absolute best for large family!

This house was a wonderful spot for our multi-generational family trip. Space was ample for everyone to spread out but still be together. House is beautifully decorated and well stocked including everything you need in the kitchen plus beach chairs, toys, etc. The tree cover is an amazing plus!

Another fantastic week

This is our second year staying at the property and once again, we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Nothing was overlooked in stocking the house for guests. The beach/ocean is stunning, the trees around the property provide shade and plenty of privacy. We love the house and pool, but it’s the seclusion offered by the private beach that keeps us coming back.

Very private beach and the rental house was as advertised. My only complaint: Three flight of stairs and the view of the ocean is partially blocked by the trees, but no big deal. Recommended stay.

Great Vacation for the Family

Our family enjoyed this wonderful house. Great little stretch of beach to enjoy that is secluded and away from many other beachgoers. House is well stocked and equipped for anything a family would need to enjoy a vacation. Hosts were very responsive and easily accessible during our stay.

Great beach location for two families

Perfect location with private boardwalk access to the beach. We used the pool and hot tub more than we thought we would in the evenings. Great deck and plenty of room for all. The theater room and pool table were also a hit. Lots of beach chairs for everyone.

Great family beach house

The property is well maintained. We enjoyed the pool, theater, elevator, porch rocking chairs, and the beach every day. Love the woodsy feel to the area. Nice mix of sun and shade around the pool. You can only see the ocean from the top floor but we didn’t mind that. Lots of puzzles to choose from. Well equipped kitchen. Close to the aquarium and restaurants. Overall a great place to stay. We would go again.

Great Place to Re-Connect & Relax

Our trip was one that had been long overdue and an attempt to reconnect. The house was wonderful - it was outfitted well for our crew whom likes to cook; the second dish washer came in handy. The deck/porches provided a nice backdrop with the sounds of the ocean - the nearby trees helped on the lower levels to keep the wind away. We saw the dolphins swimming several of the days right before dusk, recommend binoculars to see up close. The suites were well equipped as well as the bedrooms, and the kids loved the double bunk beds. We used the theater room once and brought our Apple TV- it was easy to operate and the kids enjoyed their movie. We sprung for the heated pool which was a must this time of year. The walk to the beach and the beach were private and beautiful. The location was cool as we were more-or-less in the middle and had close options for food and entertainment. Aquarium was cool, we played mini-golf. We ended up eating tons of crab at On the Rocks, Donuts from Flip-flops, Pizza from Anchor, more seafood from Billfish, and enjoyed several of the markets. It was fun in the food aspect as well. Overall the house was the perfect setting to reconnect family and enjoy good personal interactions amongst so many settings. The property manager Danielle was great and I spoke to the owners briefly - very polite, helpful. Thank you Blair and Amy. Pro tip - if you bring an Amazon fire stick device, make sure you don't grab an extra power adapted. :)

Top notch property!

This is a BIG house with plenty of stairs and walkways. The location is nestled among Live Oak trees. The beach is easily accessible via private walkway and the house is situated such that you have a pleasant view of the ocean. We would use the property again. Our only challenges were managing our 2 year old and 4 year old around the stairs and walkways but that's just how it is with kids:)

A nice stay at a familiar house

This is the third time we’ve stayed here over the past 11 years. It has its own shady access to the beach through the foliage. I’d call it 1.5 row, staggered back a bit from the first row houses. It has a narrower view of the ocean than most oceanfront houses. I like the elevator, pool, theater, pool table room, and great family room. It’s been recently updated with new quartz countertops and fans, new paint and it’s new to VRBO. I wish there was a way to plug in our Roku, or to sign in with our Disney+, Netflix or HBO Max accounts in the theater, but there isn’t. You can’t add apps to the DVD player which would allow this. I don’t think the theater system is hooked up to Wi-Fi. The instructions are not helpful. Love the big screen theater TV, though. We didn’t try to mess with the receiver to plug in our Roku because of a printed sheet there warning of a charge to have the system fixed by a tech, so we just watched a DVD, and Spectrum cable on the theater screen. We didn’t actually swim in the pool or use the hot tub this year. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots and pans and silverware and 2 dishwashers. The new Bosch fridge has a multi-drawer freezer we didn’t like, but it was functional. I like the new round glass top dining room table with the interesting tree root base. A few things need fixed: the hose faucet knob on the top deck has almost completely rusted out and is broken, with sharp edges. The turtle shaped faucet knob at the end of the walkway falls off and needs its Allen head screws tightened. One upstairs bathroom sink was partly clogged when we arrived and very slow to drain, so we didn’t use it. The walkway itself has some warped boards towards the end which I tripped on because they’re fully an inch higher than the adjacent board. I hurt my foot but didn’t break anything. It’s an unsafe hazard that needs to be repaired. The stovetop fan sounds the same on all 3 settings, and the stovetop light doesn’t work. We used the toaster and Keurig. Wish there was an air fryer/toaster oven for reheating. The bathroom rugs need to be cleaned or replaced. We’ve become accustomed to bugs at the beach, so I wasn’t surprised there were several roaches, mostly small, inside which mostly looked to be dying from bug treatment. Overall a great stay with a few easily fixed things, for which I’d take away 1/2 a star if I could.

We had a wonderful stay! Even before we arrived Blair and Amy answered questions and gave excellent information about the house and area.
