Amazing stay

Our vacation here turned out to be a really amazing. It was a great location for stores and great spot to avoid the congestion again on and off the aisle. Hopefully we can make a trip here again.

Better property than expected.

This was our first visit to the Emorald aisle. We picked this property for value and for the pet friendliness. We absolutely loved this place. It was actually better than it showed in the pictures. The beach was just a short walk down the street. We also visited a couple other beaches on the island which were pretty easy to get to. Short drive to good restaurants and shopping etc. I definitely recommend this place.

Nothing Fancy But Nice & Clean

Overall a great experience. Location was nice although walk to the beach is more than 5 minutes as advertised. But it wasn't bad at all. We had bikes so most of the time, we drove the car down, unloaded, drove it back to the house as there were no beach parking, and then rode a bike back down (2 minute bike ride). Then when it was time to leave, ride bike home, got the car and drove back to beach to load up. It wasn't bad at all. We could have rented a golf cart but that was kinda expensive. We also walked it a few times, we bought a beach cart to haul things, and that wasn't bad either, but it got so hot. The place was nice, the only thing I would change is the red couch is old and worn. It had an outside shower that was nice to rinse off before going inside. The gas grill worked. It needs replacing. Otherwise, Century 21 was very responsive to all questions. Check in and out were easy. The rental office is a couple miles from the home on the main road. Overall we had a great time, and would rent there again.

Lucky Pelican was great.

We loved staying here. We chose it partly for all the great decks. We hung out on them a lot. It was pet friendly and our papillon loved it there, too. One night while walking him, we came face to face with a deer just across from our driveway! The beach access was a short walk from the house. The nature park was a short walk in another direction, or you could drive over and park. Beautiful park, lots of trails, and more animals to see. The park is on the Bogue Sound side, and there was a dock with a kayak launch. We had a good time fishing off the dock.

Great Stay!

We had a much needed relaxing vacation at the beach, and this house was the perfect size for our family and in good proximity of the beach, especially with a golf cart.
