Oceanfront Condo Emerald Isle 3BR 2BA Beach Access

Barry provided an exceptionally well furnished cozy beachfront vacation cottage. The furniture, beds, linens and towels are perfect! Also provided are a numerous amount and variety of beach chairs, umbrella, and sand toys. Plus games, puzzles, dog bowls. The decor is well done along with being quite comfortable. Our family of 5 adults and our lab had an absolutely lovely week. Several days of watching the dolphins play, pelicans dive for fish and shelling along this beautiful beach were just a few highlights. We very much look forward to renting this gem of cottage again!

This place was amazing. Loved the rocking chairs on the back porch. Our vacation was the best.

Comfortable porch with lovely views. Plenty of room in the living area. Kitchen was well equipped. Just a few stairs in the front and a quick walk to the beach! Great location!

There's something really special about having your own walk way to the beach. The weather wasn't perfect in March but it was nice to watch the larger than normal waves from the comfort of the couch! Great stay.

I could tell from the initial communication that Barry was an excellent host. From the moment we opened the front door (a delightful fragrance welcomed us!) to the close of that door, our stay resembled the saying “a Southern part of heaven”. EVERYTHING we needed was provided from the fully-stocked kitchen to the bedrooms’ wooden hanging rack to the porch/beach supplies. My favorite space was the ocean-view porch with the 4 very comfortable rocker chairs covered with perfect cushions. We used the large crank-up umbrella that covers the exposed area of the porch… couldn’t ask for more than this! I have NEVER been this relaxed at the beach. And yes, the April weather was perfect for sitting on the beach, which is as close as can be allowed :-). Thank you, Barry, for opening up your cozy cottage to us. We will return.

Barry is an awesome host with great communication! He let us know as soon as the cleaning people had left so we could get in the house sooner. There were sand toys for the kids to play with and beach chairs so I didn’t have to bring ours. We were in a great location and enjoyed being able to just walk out on the beach and come back again when it rained. (Went during tropical storm Debbie). The beds were comfy and the cottage had everything we needed and more! Thank you for letting us stay in your home!!

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was great, check in was a breeze, everything was clean and ready for us. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need to cook meals. We loved the location and how close it was to the beach. The back deck is lovely and had plenty of chairs and everything you you need for a day on the beach. The bathrooms are small, but are fine for a temporary stay. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay! We look forward to our next trip!

Everything was just what we wanted. The beach is right out the back door and the deck overlooking the ocean (can’t get any better) Place was well stocked and clean. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay at the beach. Perfect way to celebrate my wife’s and friends 65th birthday Looking forward to spending more time here

What a gem of a property right on the ocean, surf sounds included! The view is awesome! The property was perfect for us, and included a weekend visit with family. It is clean, with a well equipped kitchen. The towels and linens were crisp and clean. The showers are tiny, yet adequate. The deck is wonderful with the best rockers. The local restaurants are a short direct drive in either direction, and were quite good. We hope to return soon. It was a much needed cure for our local gray weather.

This is our second stay at Seahorse East. Hands down the best location with easy beach access, full beach and dolphin views, and the comforts of home away from home.

This was our second stay at Barry's beach house on Emerald Isle. We can't say enough positive things abut it. The location can't be beat...just steps from the beach. Although we stayed in February, which isn't considered beach weather, we enjoyed our morning tea/coffee inside while enjoying the ocean view. The beach was perfect for walking throughout the day, not crowded this time of year and so peaceful. Barry has thought of everything as far as amenities. We didn't do much cooking, but he is fairly well stocked with dishes, cookware, etc for what we did need. The house is very nice and was clean and comfortable. We needed a relaxing week and that's just what we got.We hope to return next year.

Stayed a few times and always clean, no issues during stay.

The cottage is comfy, very clean and we had everything we needed. Appreciate having a well stocked kitchen and host was great to work with.

The house is just as advertised. Easy to access the beach and relax in the quiet. House is very clean, well maintained, and stocked with essentials. We appreciated the ease of charging stations and the pantry space in the kitchen. Great spaces for card games and outdoor meals as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Barry has thought of absolutely everything to make sure his guests have a 5-star vacation. The property is extremely clean, inviting, cozy and well maintained. From the light switches to the remotes, all are labeled with helpful and clear instructions. Check-in and checkout were made very easy by the host. We loved being directly oceanfront. The location was great for short trips to grocery stores, surf shops, museums, antique shops and local artisans. We hope to get to stay at Seahorse again soon. Thank you Barry!

Was a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the floors when I first arrived but Barry was quick to respond and accomodate. The rest of the trip was fantastic. Would definitely go back.

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and had the most wonderful time! The home is clean, well furnished, and the location/view can't be beat. We will be back!

This lovely home is super clean. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets extremely soft. There were plenty of pillows on all the beds. The kitchen is very well stocked. The best part, obviously, is the location. It looks EXACTLY as it is depicted; right on the beach. We had three gorgeous days on the beach, the water was crystal clear and the warmest I've ever felt. Unfortunately, we left on Wednesday morning due to Idalia. I have no experience with tropical storms/hurricanes. I spoke with a few home owners Tuesday afternoon on the beach and they said they were leaving; that was my decision maker. I would 100% stay here again. Barry is an excellent host and very responsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, bright and had everything we needed. Walk out the door and your on the beach! Barry was very thorough in communicating. I highly recommend this wonderful home.

Cozy and homey as soon as you walk in with privacy and a great view! Will be my permanent go to for beach therapy.

Comfortable porch with lovely views. Plenty of room in the living area. Kitchen was well equipped. Just a few stairs in the front and a quick walk to the beach! Great location!

Cute, nicely decorated cottage on the beach. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need including a full assortment of spices/herbs and nice plates/glassware. Communication with owner was very quick and easy. Location is an ideal spot as its pretty much equidistant to go into Emerald Isle shops/restaurants, as well as Atlantic Beach. Nice quiet neighborhood to walk your dog or ride a bike. Beautiful view from deck, especially if you are sitting on the rocking chairs. Tons of beach chairs and boogie boards available. Very comfortable beds and pillows! Quick and easy access to the beachfront right outside the back door. My one recommendation to the owner is to consider switching out the shorter rectangle wicker table with some bar height polywood chairs for additional views of the ocean. Thanks for a great stay.

We just loved the beach cottage at Emerald Isle! We felt like we were always on the beach even from the warmth of inside because we could always see the waves! Everything we could possibly ask for was included - beautiful decor, kitchen cookware dishes even pantry items, lovely comfortable furniture, and sunrises and sunsets to die for! We’ll be back for sure. Super hard to go home when the week was over. ☀️

We stayed here first about 9 years ago. It was a great experience then and even better now. So many upgrades! Kitchen is lovely and very well stocked. Living room is very comfortable. Gated deck is great, as we have a dog and it felt very safe for the pup and also for the 2.5 year old grandson. Bedrooms are small, but adequate. The mattresses in the front and rear bedroom off the kitchen are in need of new mattresses, but it wasn't enough to keep us from wanting to come back.

Our group, including an elderly person, enjoyed our 1st time stay in this beachfront house, which has been well maintained with upgrades as previously described in other posts. Clean! We enjoyed the ability to take our well behaved dog.From an elderly perspective, she enjoyed the 10 steps to enter (small landing so be careful with the door), toilet was a bit low in washer/dryer BR, but manageable, and her favorite spot (where she would sleep if we let her) was on the deck enjoying everything in those very comfortable rockers (with full cushions). She adored the views (despite inability to see the actual shoreline unless going onto the elevated walkway - likely a consequence of minimizing the number of entry steps). Going to the beach it self proved to be easier using the very close public access area for her as the sand path was wider and less steep. Despite the sustained & gusty wind, the very clean beach sand didn't result in dermabrasion! Even when it rained, the covered porch enabled her to enjoy outside. With her two wall suction hand supports we took for the shower, she was able to safely shower as it was too small for a sit down shower chair. We prepared several meals. The beds are decorated with a lot of pillows and the mattresses in 2 of the 3 rooms are very very very soft and flex. Parking was adequate and despite my fears of the street flooding (lots of signage about such) during one day of 2-4 inches of rain - it wasn't an issue - county staff reassuring. TY :)

Had a great relaxing time, and Barry was very helpful, and accommodating. When our daughter had got an unexpected flat tire Barry came to the rescue, filled the tire with air, Gave us instructions to the nearest tire place. He went above and beyond to help us… Thank you!!!!

This property is one of the best I've ever stayed at. The communication of the property manager was outstanding. We had an issue with the coffee maker and had a new one within the hour!!! The property is a duplex and very nicely maintained. I HIGHLY recommend staying here! We saw dolphins from the porch 2 days in a row. Will stay here again.

WOnderful place, location and everything you could hope for from an owner. This place has everything! No detail was too small. Communication was excellent!

Property was exactly as advertised as just as good as the first time we were there, which was our reason for returning. Beach was awesome. Stayed with our dog who loved her daily beach walks. We had a minor issue with the new fridge, but Barry was right on top of things and kept constant touch with us while the freezer was worked on. Barry is a wonderful person. He happens to come from the State we live in and we had a wonderful conversation about old times with him. He even gave us a referral for a local doctor should my husband need to see someone. Could not ask for a better place, location or owner. We will be back and urge anyone who is considering this location to take advantage of the place to stay. 100% Awesome!

Great location with amazing views. The host was super proactive and responsive. We took full advantage of the direct beach access for runs, bike rides, and dolphin watching strolls.

This place had everything you need and even things you might not think about! Plus the owner is friendly, easy to communicate with and very helpful. The views and location are also great. Everyone was so happy, thank you!

Everything about our stay from start to finish was truly amazing. Barry is extremely responsive and the amenities he provides for the property are second to none. We enjoyed the quite peaceful days on the beach with the section of the island being very quiet and a little more secluded from the busier sections closer to the point and Indian Beach. Our Golden loves the beach and it was great having a closer in deck for him to dry out and relax on after the long sandy days at the beach. We’ve already booked our stay for 2024 and can’t wait to go back!

Very comfortable and in the water. Only minutes from two grocery stores.

Quiet, yet close enough to the stores and restaurants.

Perfect for the need to be close to the ocean for a few days.

Really cute duplex with everything you need. Just steps to the beach from the covered deck!

There's something really special about having your own walk way to the beach. The weather wasn't perfect in March but it was nice to watch the larger than normal waves from the comfort of the couch! Great stay.

We had a great week at this lovely cottage right on the ocean. Enjoyed seeing pelicans diving, dolphins jumping, and the ocean breezes and views from the deck. The home was well equipped, and Barry was a great host.

Nice location, just can’t see the beach over the dunes but you can see the ocean. Beds not the comfiest. Place fully stocked in all aspects. (Games, soap, dishes, books, etc.) Barry was responsive to inquiries. Kitchen cabinets soft close which was nice. Overall stay was good!

The location is right on the beach. It’s perfect. This was our 2nd year staying here and will be booking it again for next year.
