Engagement préalable: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage on The Point at Emerald Isle

We absolutely loved staying at Prior Engagement. The location of the house was perfect for us. The walk to the beach access was a reasonable distance. We loved the decks and the under the house sitting area. The hpuse was very nice and accommodating to our size family. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog to the beach for the first time and the fenced in back yard. I wanted to stay in a house near the point for the seclusion and the beach not being crowded on that end. I will say the walk from the beach access to the actual beach was a haul. It was long and up and down hills but that has nothing to do with the rental property. We will definitely stay at Prior Engaement again!!! Thank you so much Matt & Hilary for sharing your beautiful home with us!!!

We had a great stay at Prior Engagement! The house was clean and cozy and had everything we needed inside and outside. There are several grocery stores only a quick drive away and 2 different beach access points within a 3‐5 minute walk from the house. Check in/out instructions were simple and clear, and the host was very informative and communicative. Would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Perfect place to travel with a pet.

We woke up the first morning to NO HEAT. The furnace stopped working . Matt had repair crew out right away to fix it . Thank you.The house was lacking basics like soap, dish soap, trash bags, toilet paper( we left a case for your future guests) and the internet / WiFi never worked despite multiple attempts by competent people . Overall we managed but we won't return .

overall the rooms were clean as well as the living areas. The application process went very well and we received timely communications with the host. Our little dashund had a nice area in the back that on occasion was shared by at one time 5 deer, lol. I think that had he wanted to he could have gone thru the vertical slats but we didn't really worry about it. The kitchen utensils that we used were of good condition and there was a lot of different items.
