My family had a wonderful stay at this quaint boho cottage. The location and decor were as listed. We loved the private location. You canât see the ocean from the property but you can hear it and the secludedness of it made it special. The area is safe and walk to the beach was easy. All of the necessities were as listed. I highly recommended staying at the Emerald Cottage. The hostess was informative with details and responsive. We would love to return again.
Perfect getaway from the city. Cute cottage, slept like a princess there, enjoyed the hot tub and although on Emerald Isle I felt like I was in the country with all the vegetation.
Our family of five had a great stay in this adorable cottage! Hot tub was a big hit and kitchen had everything we needed. Location is great - just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
My daughter and I enjoyed our time here. Wish the weather would have been warmer, but we canât have everything. A beautiful place to come back to relax. Thatâs exactly what we did after visiting friends and family. Thank you Stacy for everything!
Great sunsets in short driving distance.Hot tub, Fire Pit, so cutely decorated in beach themes. Felt right at home from the moment we walked through the front door.
The cottage was the perfect place for a long weekend getaway. We loved the privacy of the yard and enjoyed the hot tub and little backyard beach. We felt right at home and hope to be back!!
Super cute place, just the right size for us. Easy access to the beach and the wagon, cooler, beach chairs & umbrella were very convenient. Emerald Isle is a beautiful area with big beach. Good restaurants nearby. We loved our stay.
My family travels to the area fairly often and we do enjoyed our time in this cozy home; itâs very close to public beach access for walking and otherwise close to the beach-y visitor attractions :) The house itself is adorable, cozy, and enjoyable to stay in. Communication was great, too!
I enjoyed my stay at this darling beach home. Itâs so quaint and has every you need. Decor was done so nicely! Beach supplies available and fire pit in the yard looked great but rainy days made it difficult for me to use.
Walk to beach in less than 5 min. Great area to bike and take long walks. I would love to return!!
This was a beautiful cottage with a short walk to the beach. The place was very clean loaded with amenities. I would consider this place for future visits.
My family had an excellent long weekend here. The cottage is so cozy and sweet. Just a short walk to the beach, while still feeling very private. The house has so many little touches that made it feel extra especial. The host was very kind and communicative. This is a wonderful place and I hope to visit again! Thank you!
We had a great stay at the cottage with our three children and dogs. There was plenty of sleeping room for everyone. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for the week. I loved that the shed had all the beach essentials: wagon, chairs, beach umbrella so I didn't need to buy and hall those items with us :)
My wife and I stayed for a quick babymoon before our first child arrives. The house was great. Very clean and comfortable and with a neat decor. Close to the breach and a short trip to all the good restaurants. The host was great as well, with excellent communication.
The Emerald Cottage is beautifully appointed, masterfully renovated, and perfectly located for a quiet getaway to the Emerald Isle area. The 2BR/2BA layout has ample privacy and plenty of room for a small family or even two couples (and a pet!). Weâll be back!
Cottage was nice and cozy and short walk to beach. On-site in utility shed, they provide a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella and bikes all very useful during our stay. Stacy was very attentive to our needs during our stay. Thank you Stacy ;).
We loved our stay at the cottage! The cottage is beautifully decorated and incredibly clean and cozy. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. The shed is equipped with a cooler, beach wagon and beach cruisers. We will be back!
Stacy was a fantastic host. She was very helpful with navigating the area and any questions we had.
The cottage was perfect for myself, hubby and fur baby. Very well stocked. The beach wagon was a great for caring all our beach stuff to ocean.
We had a fire in the firepit and relaxed in the hot tub.
We will be returning!! Emerald Isle is now our favorite beach!
Cheers!

We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful, clean, meticulously decorated cottage with our small family and dog. The pictures were all extremely accurate, and Stacie was a joy to communicate with as well as in providing excellent recommendations during our stay. We hope to return as a family!
The cottage is set on the main road but offers privacy by way of tall shrubbery in front and back and noise was not an issue. it is very clean, light, and tastefully decorated with a distressed ocean theme. A bottle of wine was awaiting on the table when I arrived. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen was well appointed. There is a nice front porch and deck in the back of the house and a fire pit. Host was available for any questions and easy to work with. Pets allowed! We will definitely book again if possible.
Cons:
-Despite being cute, the shower in the master bedroom was not very functional for us, so we used the shower in the second bathroom instead. For parties of more than two, this could be an issue. Even for a small person, it is pretty tight. A frameless glass door instead of a shower curtain might open up the space some.
-Our older dog had difficulty navigating the yard because it was unmaintained, and she repeatedly fell into the weeds. This caused her to get a tick that she passed on to my husband.
-The outside shower could be more functional if a platform or concrete slab was built so that you don't have to use it in the dirt.
-A cockroach was spotted in the master bedroom the night before we checked out. Despite our efforts, it always retreated into the gaps between the shiplap, so we were not able to catch it.
-The hot tub was dirty. The host said someone would come to clean it, but that did not happen until the morning we checked out.
-For less than we paid for four nights, we could have rented a larger, newer home closer to the beach for an entire week.
Pros:
-The home was clean and the pictures were accurate.
-The decor is very cute and matches the 1950s theme.
-The host provided many wonderful recommendations for nearby places to eat and things to do. These could be compiled into a binder and left for guests at check-in.
-In the shed, there were beach gear and bikes that were helpful.
-The location was good and close to a walking trail and the beach.
