Absolute best!

We decided on a last minute trip, and honestly couldn’t have found a better place or hosts. The suite was immaculate, beautifully decorated and had everything we could’ve hoped for or needed. Everything from a coffee bar, fresh baked sweets, a fireplace, hot tub, fire pit, spa robes and toiletries we had forgotten. We truly didn’t want to leave. The hosts were attentive and very accommodating. Highly recommend for a peaceful, private, romantic getaway! It was amazing and cannot wait to return. Thank you!!

A Truly Unforgettable Beach Getaway

Our stay at Beach Paradise, hosted by Carolyn and Jonathan, was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into an immaculate apartment unit, thoughtfully prepared to celebrate our anniversary. The fresh flowers and delicious chocolate chip cookies were a delightful touch that made us feel extra special. Carolyn and Jonathan were exceptional hosts, demonstrating outstanding communication and responsiveness to our every need and question. Their attention to detail truly enhanced our experience. The amenities provided made our stay incredibly enjoyable. We loved the private hot tub, the convenience of the shared golf cart, and the well-stocked beach gear. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the quality towels and linens added a touch of luxury. We also appreciated the coffee, drinks, and generous snack basket provided. Our mornings were spent at the beach, which was easily accessible thanks to the golf cart, and the afternoons were filled with exploring Emerald Isle and catching up with friends who live close by. The location was perfect for both relaxation and adventure. Our beach trip was fantastic, and we can't wait to return to Carolyn and Jonathan's Beach Paradise in the future. This stay was indeed a memorable and rejuvenating experience. We highly recommend it! Thank you, Carolyn and Jonathan, for providing such a wonderful getaway!

From the time we looked into booking this VRBO, both Jonathan and Carolyn were so very responsive and helpful. Their rental was lovely, and very peaceful. It’s decorated beautifully with a calming beach theme. They also provide more amenities than we’ve ever experienced before.

Peace and Tranquillity

My wife and I stayed in the Paradise Suite. The checkin process is seamless as our hosts Carolyn and Johnathan made sure that we had all the information needed. Our place was nestled in a culdesac wooded lot that is very close to the beach. The suite was so welcoming and decorated and outfitted with everything you need. If you forgot it, Carolyn and Johnathan have probably thought of it, and will have what you need. They are super responsive and are truly very sweet people. The complimentary golf cart and bicycles were such a nice touch as my wife and I used the golf cart to go to the beach and rode bikes in the evening to watch the sunset. We would highly recommend you stay here if you want a peaceful, well provided for getaway to Emerald Isle. Carolyn and Johnathan were the best.

The Flip Flop couples retreat in the Suite Paradise delivered as promised - calm relaxation! Carolyn and Johnathan were amazing hosts who showed above and beyond hospitality with those extra personalized touches that you can usually only get at a Bed and Breakfast. Easy access to shopping, restaurants, and beaches available with just a short walk, golf cart or bike ride away. Would stay again happily!

Rest, relax, get spoiled

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. As others have stated, everything you need for an enjoyable time together with your spouse is provided. The host and hostess were extremely nice and welcoming, wanting to make everything work to our comfort and satisfaction. When I initially booked one of their other units (they have 3) I mentioned in my message to them that I recently had knee surgery. Carolyn responded that the unit I had booked was upstairs and that a downstairs unit was available for the same timeframe. I was able to cancel the one I booked and reserve the downstairs unit This was a huge help as making my way up and down stairs was possible but still a bit of a challenge for me. My wife and I spoke to Carolyn and Jonathan a few times and they could not have been a more pleasant hostess/host to get to know. Everything was as described in the listing. We made use of the golf cart a few times, although we also did walk to the beach on one occasion - maybe a 10 minute walk. The place was very clean, everything worked as expected. Inside is an open design - one large room serving as the bedroom, living room, kitchen. The bathroom is off the main room where the stacked clothes washer and dryer are also located. There is also a separate closet from the main room with a dresser and pole to hang clothes. Outside are two lounge chairs which were great for relaxing early in the day before the heat set in. We could not have been more satisfied with our stay.

Inaugural Emerald Island stay

We didn’t need an entire house this year and didn’t want a condo or hotel. Carolyn’s place was just the right size and we picked this one because it had an oven and stove. Everything was great and Carolyn was very available to help with anything we needed. The golf cart was actually nice since it’s a bit of a walk to the beach. SPOILER ALERT!!! The mini lemon pound cakes were delicious.😋

Smiling and Relaxing

Carolyn and Johnathan greeted us by our first names. When we approached the property, we felt happy and all our questions were answered. The parking spot was right next to our suite and the amenities were perfect. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th Anniversary. When we opened the door there was a wonderful chocolate cake waiting for us and a sign that said Happy Anniversary. On the bed was a breakfast bed tray with a personalized note greeting us with wine and wine glasses. There were lights lit on the headboard and we felt special. The suite was very clean and all the matching teal and beachy decorations were so beautiful! The access to the golf cart was so nice to get to and from the beach. If golf cart was not available then the bikes were an easy way to get to the beach. Every other morning we were given homemade muffins and they were delicious and so sweet to eat. All things were labeled so we knew where everything was located in our suite. The full kitchen was well equipped and the coffee bar was great! The patio was nice and the lights made it very romantic. In the closet was a beach bag with cute flip flops and soft beach towels. Our suite was always full of love, laughter and music. Alexa was convenient too! We had a full week of sun and only one rainy morning. When it rained, it was convenient to have access to Amazon prime video. There are games and cards to play in suite as well. We will return and recommend to all our friends. Beyond our expectations!

Amazing and our ALL TIME favorite place

Five stars all the way!! I can’t say enough good things about our experience staying here. Carolyn and Jonathan are the nicest hosts we’ve ever had by far. Also top on my list is cleanliness and this was above and beyond my expectations. The whole place inside and out is just the cutest and she has everything you need to spend the week at the beach. Having a washer and dryer, bikes and a golf cart we’re all added bonuses. Carolyn and Jonathan, Thank you both again for your wonderful hospitality and helping us out and offering us Suite C when it was open. The extra goodies were amazing and just so thoughtful of you. We can’t wait to come back!! Thanks again, Adam and Jenn

Quiet Beach Weekend

We liked our first visit so much in August we came back again for a long weekend in September. Our hosts were awesome and really define good old fashioned hospitality. The property was excellent- clean, affordable, quiet, private, and great location. Our hosts provided everything- fully furnished suite to include kitchen, washer/dryer, wi-fi, golf cart and bikes to get to the beach, kayaks for intercoastal, beach chairs, umbrellas, snacks, drinks, and a coffee bar in the room. Communication with our hosts (Carolyn & Jonathan) was outstanding and check-in/out was easy. We absolutely recommend this property- a hidden gem on Emerald Isle!
