above average beach property

Was about everything one could expect. The only thing that could have made it better would have been the living space on the second rather than third floor, lots of stair climbing.

Great experience

This was our first visit to Emerald Isle, and we really enjoyed our stay. We needed to contact the homeowners a few times over minor things, and they were very responsive. The house was clean, and the layout worked perfectly for our group of 16 adults. We're looking forward to coming back!

Great house, great host, great views!

We had the best long weekend at the Blue Marlin with our group of friends and their families! The location is amazing with direct beach access and really close to the grocery stores! The house is in great condition, has tons of great outdoor space, beautiful living spaces, and a fully stocked kitchen. The kids (all under 7) had a blast as did the adults. And Amy the host is so responsive and helpful! We will definitely be back!
