Beachfront Fun

The house was well maintained, with plenty of room for our entire group of nine guys. The location is extremely convenient and the private deck is a nice feature for private beach access and relaxing in view of the ocean. We had an excellent time and would definitely rent here again in the future.

Great week in Emerald Isle celebrating my mother's 70th birthday. The home was beautiful and spacious and it was great to open the doors and immediately listen to the ocean. We plan to be back here in the future!

A fabulous 4th!

We enjoyed our stay at Seaside Sanctuary. Chris was quick with responses to questions I had prior to our trip and insisted is to contact him with any questions or concerns while staying at his beautiful home. The location was phenomenal. And the house was definitely comfortable and inviting with a hostess gift waiting for us upon arrival.

Fantastic sanctuary on an idyllic beach

The property was perfect and spacious. Everything was in great condition and Chris was an excellent host. The beach was almost exclusive because of the proximity of the houses. I would definitely go again.

Perfect for family

The property owners were proactive in communicating with me about our stay. The property was easily located and provided plenty of parking for our family (5 vehicles). You can see the ocean from the living room, dining room and kitchen; as well as two bedrooms and the great big room that has five beds. Overall, we loved it!

Amazing Beach Getaway

We loved our time in Emerald Isle. This was a first for us. We had family from all over the world and many age ranges. The beds were comfortable, the house was quiet when younger kiddos needed to sleep, and the house had everything we could need. The owner was so kind and provided great insights. The location of this house right on the beach is absolutely amazing. We also found incredible shells on the beach. This home allowed for so many memories to be created, thank you. We hope to return.

Great decision

We were in NC for a family wedding. I wasn’t sure whether to get cheaper lodging and spend money exploring or stay on the beach at a higher cost. My adult children thought they would want to explore but once we got to the beach house, they didn’t want to leave. The hosts were easy to work with and had all the beach stuff we needed. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Family gathering

I didn’t realize it was half a house. I didn’t realize we had to make our own beds and strip the sheets at the end. Didn’t mind garbage duty. We are careful people so we stressed over all the posted signs of dos and don’t’s. Not enough towels, wash rags or blankets - glad we brought our own. Beautiful views. Nice seating out doors.

A great house in a beautiful setting

A well furnished beach house in and excellent uncrowded location on Emerald Isle. A most pleasant host who was readily available to answer any questions upon check-in or during our stay.. We have been coming to E.I. for approx 50 yrs and have seen it grow + & -..As always enjoyed our trips to the Bogue Inlet pier to watch the real fisherman.. Also found the BEST shrimp burger EVER in a free standing food truck about 1 mi before before the old landmark Big Oak Drive in on Salter Path Rd ..

Perfect on the Beach Stay

This house was wonderful! There were only four of us and barely used a 1/3 the house! Mattresses super comfortable with plenty of sheets, blankets and nice bath towels. Got to sleep with sliders open for ocean sounds. The patio had nice & plenty of chairs. Also bonus was ice maker, Brita water (we usually have to haul water & ice with us), binoculars, ziplock backs & spices! Kitchen is perfect layout and island great for multiple cooks in the kitchen. One of the best stocked houses we’ve stayed at. The top “kids” loft was amazing - need to bring all the cousins next time. Tons of space for everyone! And as it reads, this direct private access to a clean, beauty beach!
