The seating and views on the deck were second to none, and we had plenty of space for the five of us. The only suggestion for improvement would be to provide at least a starter amount of trash bags, hand soaps, and toilet paper and paper towels so we weren't required to bring those items along with all food, drink, and beach gear. Overall, fabulous stay and we'd come back again! ##### Matt A.

Lovely place to have a beach week. I love that this was totally walker-friendly for my mom. She could go from the home to the beach with no steps. We have stayed at several places along EI and this one by far had the most expansive views of the ocean. And the deck was huge and provided space for all, and beautiful views of the sunrise. No complaints at all, and we hope to be back again. ##### Heather M.

The leasing company was professional and organized, and the property was in an incredibly desirable and convenient location. The property itself was very clean, well equipped, and all-around excellent. Not only did we enjoy our stay, we would consider staying at this exact same property again. ##### Amy B.

Great ocean views from most rooms in the condo or the large deck (with lots of seating options). Check in was straightforward and required just a quick pop over to the property management office closeby to pick up keys/gate passes. Lot’s of dining of dining/grocery options nearby. ##### Rebekah F.

The pictures did not do it justice...what a gorgeous place with amazing views and well done design. We will be back again! ##### Lee Ann E.

The decorations tasteful and all the sliding doors and the deck made sitting and watching the ocean comfortable. I loved the tvs. Location was convenient to restaurants and groceries. Beach is a straight walk out of the elevator. Parking is undercover or in a large lot. The only con was the checkin. It’s time to install digital door locks. ##### Larry R.

The view from the deck was so enjoyable and memorable. The biggest part was the walkway to the beach. Unit was very clean and well kept up with. The whole Queens Court complex was very clean and nice too. so beautiful and all very well taken care of... Enjoyed the pool, sport courts, and beautiful landscaping. The layout was so cute and the scenery throughout made me feel like I was in my own little tropical oasis 🌴 quiet and so peaceful! Loved Emerald Isle! ##### Nichole P.

The condo was in a perfect location and was well-stocked. It suited our family perfectly. Clean, bright, open and airy, beautiful views, comfortable beds. We could hear the running/jumping feet of the family upstairs, though that is no fault of the owners of this property—it was nothing more than typical in a condo of this sort. When we needed to reach out regarding a minor issue (again, nothing to do with this property or its owners), the owners were very quick to respond and advise us—and we had no further issues. Lovely condo, beautiful views, close to the beach—thank you for the delightful week away! ##### Kimberly L.

Everything was very clean, organized, up to date and just as advertised. Love the balcony and abilities to sit outside with plenty of room. Only issue and it was minor was the checkin process. I can in on Thanksgiving day and I had to sit in the parking lot for 45 minutes after our drive to get a gate and room key from someone who had to meet me. Commpuication dropped between someone and the group was not prepared for my arrival. Lady was very nice and apologetic for the issue, she came to office and got everything I needed. Overall, I will be saving this place as a favorite and rebook it! ##### Rachel C.

Easy access to the beach, spacious living area, nicely decorated, elevator access and super clean! The porch and view of the ocean is exceptional. Beautiful Master suite, again, the view! Other bedrooms were comfortable and very nice as well. When the owners of the unit above us were there, they were up pretty late at night which was annoying but when they didn't stay over it was perfectly quiet and peaceful! The owners of First Dibs were great to deal with as well as the Homeowners Association. They addressed the issue for us. Great location for shopping, dining and entertainment! The pool wasn't open yet because it was off-season but looked really nice. We played basketball, rode our scooters around town and had a great spring vacation! ##### Christina C.

This was our second stay here and both times we had issues with the noise from upstairs. The owners were staying upstairs for the first two days of our visit and I found out they were getting ready for renters. The second night they were up pretty much all night clomping around and it shook the walls in our unit downstairs. We got little sleep. Once the renters moved in the noise level was less but you could here them walking and opening and closing of the window slider. Over all it was just not very relaxing because of the constant noise. I realize this is not the fault of the First Dips owners but I feel it needs to be pointed out for those that like their sleep and appreciate a quiet vacation. ##### Leslie J.

Owners were great to get with me before during stay! Decor was nice & beach right there. This area of EI is more crowded than I had planned probably due to close proximity to campgrounds and water park. Pool is out of way and was never busy all week. Bad= Thermostat wouldn't go below 68 and we were there during pretty warm week but condo felt stuffy at times. By far our worst complaint was the very noisy neighbors on 3rd floor above us were terribly noisy especially frustrating at 4am and sounded like stomping and dragging furniture. Yes I knew I could've messaged Gerald on VRBO, but I knew he was in Ohio so I placed call to the Emerald Isle HS about issue and found that they didn't manage property but they would contact them and the HOA and she would get this resolved and call me back later that day, they never called me back and nothing changed throughout rest of our stay. Also I read check out instructions and never read anything about the blue wristbands being returned to EIHS as we've kept these from other places in past numerous times without a thought. These are a silicone band no chip! So when my phone rang on checkout day from EIHS I assumed it was to check on rest of our noisy stay...nope they informed us that if we didnt return our silicone bands we would be charged $100\. Wife looked these up they cost 15 cents to replace. Must reuse=gross and leaves bad feeling on way out of town. Bands are in mail😡😡 ##### SCOTT W.

From the initial communication with owner to check in with property realtors....process was professional, easy and personalized. Condo was extremely comfortable and clean. Ocean views from all the windows/sliders made staying in on a rainy day so enjoyable. Location is ideal for walking to places as well as a great driving point to get to other charming towns like Swansboro in one direction and Beaufort in the other. Would highly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you! ##### Cathy J. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ---
