Great Place
The condo is even nicer than the pictures. 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.

Such a pretty, peaceful place 🌊🌺🌼
First time to Emerald Isle and first time renting an oceanfront rental... so glad we opted for this unit! 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!

Beautiful Condo, Perfect Location
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return! 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!

Great view, easy to deal with owners, building issues and some with EIHS.
+ Absolutely great view just as in the pics. 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😡😡

We had a wonderful experience from the very start. 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.

WHAT A VIEW!
"First Dibs" has it all! 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!

Condo was very clean and tidy with a well stocked kitchen! Great ocean views from most rooms in the condo or the large deck (with lots of seating options).

First Dibs/Emerald Isle
This is a lovely property with a fabulous view and easy access to the beach. 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.

First Dibs is everything it claims to be and more! Gorgeous and expansive direct oceanfront condo with bright, breezy rooms. Large well-equipped kitchen, beautiful airy, family area, huge master bedroom, 3 full baths, and literally steps from the beach! Parking is easy and plentiful, and a wide variety of local restaurants are mere minutes away. Sitting out on the very large oceanfront deck gave us wonderful evenings as we listened to the peaceful sound of the ocean. The owner is an absolute joy to work with and has thought of every amenity. We cannot wait for our next trip to Emerald Isle and to First Dibs!

A Beach Treat!
We had such a wonderful week spending time with family and friends here. The views from the condo were spectacular and the condo was clean, comfortable and cozy. I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the early mornings with my daughter as we watched the sunrise (and the dolphins!). We had all the amenities we needed, as we cooked the majority of our meals. The owners were quick to respond to any inquiry and were very helpful. You can see by the decor within the condo and their attention to detail how much they take pride in their rental. This unit was in a gated, quiet and family friendly community with convenient beach access for the community tenants only. Parking was first come first serve, but we never had an issue finding a place to park and we're always able to find a spot close to the condo. I would recommend this rental in a heartbeat and hope to one day return.
