The location was perfect, the house has fantastic views of the Ocean and a nice breeze made the porches ideal to enjoy in the mornings and evenings. We loved eating dinner overlooking the ocean from the picnic table on the back porch and it was so nice to be just steps from the beach. The house was immaculate when we checked in and had everything we needed for an ideal ending to our Summer. We would absolutely return! ##### Amy P.

Easy to check in, clear communication, and it had everything we needed! The only suggestion I have would be to add one more detailed photo of the beach access. We had seniors in our party and the walkway didn’t have an easy path onto the beach. It may be difficult for those with limited mobility. Just a suggestion. Overall, a great time and we will be back! ##### Kristin S.

We’ve been coming to EI for the last 7 years and of the 4 homes we have stayed in (all ocean front) this is hands down the best home. Adina has thoughtfully curated an entire BINDER full of relevant and recent information on everything you could want or need. Additionally her pay it forward practice ensured we had almost everything we needed for our stay. I ran out to buy conditioner before I realized it was already there! Please enjoy that bottle of conditioner it now lives under the sink in the upstairs bathroom! Anyway, our kids kept saying how this beach house felt so different from the others in that it felt truly like a home. So many nice and thoughtful little touches to list but they really didn’t miss a thing here at Isle Escape! Thank you for yet another amazing vacation in Emerald Isle. We can’t wait to return. ##### Catherine G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill M. 30 May 2025 ##### Jill M.

What a beautiful beach, 150-200 steps to the ocean. My kids loved the outdoor shower, it was great to get all the sand off. Sunset slush right down the beach was amazing ice cream/sorbet. The only complaint was the water. We are spoiled to live in the country with clean well water. The fridge filter and under sink one haven’t been changed in a long while. Either bring a brita or bottled water and ice to have good tasting water. ##### James M.
