Great Place for Couple or Small Group
The central location to restaurants and shopping are great. The views from almost all windows are also exceptional. Easy beach access is also a huge plus. The only minor drawbacks were the sheets which felt like sandpaper and having to stop somewhere to pick up and drop off the keys. It could be that there isn't a better way to provide access to a gated complex - it's just slightly inconvenient. Having said that, the key pick up and drop off were on the way into the island and only added a minute or two to the process.

This was our first trip to Emerald Isle and will not be the last! The condo was beautiful and clean. Since it was our first time I had a lot of questions. Craig answered everyone promptly and offered recommendations. We got there a little early and he was kind enough to let us in a little earlier. We had plenty of space in the unit. It was all quiet which was nice since we traveled with little ones!

Perfect getaway
Excellent property. Gated community with roving security. Two easy access points to beach with boardwalk and spray-off site at sidewalks. Excellent sized swimming pool with bathhouse that was very clean. Condo is near elevator and stairwell. Very clean and well furnished and equipped. Very comfortable stay. Nice sized rooms, dining table perfect for family games. Excellent relaxing views! Good location in town for short travels to local sites and restaurants, such as the Fish Hut. The towns Emerald Isle Woods Park has a fun 9-hole disc golf course. Swansboro, Morehead City, and Beaufort are short travels. Craig is an excellent host who cares about guests having an enjoyable stay.

Almost Heaven
Everything about this property was great. Check-in was easy, location was perfect, and the views from the condo were amazing. The space was clean, comfortable, and equipped with all of our cooking necessities. We loved the convenience of shopping and restaurants just across the street. The beach was also just a few steps away. Check out the beach access steps before heading to the beach. The steps could be quite steep for older people. We hope to return to Emerald Isle and stay at "Almost Heaven" again. Craig is a wonderful host. The views are stunning.

Quick stay for a weekend wedding. Used Craig’s place back in the fall. Reached out for this trip & he was very accommodating. Great location. Easy process. He even messaged to let me know we could check in earlier than expected. Good communication. I will continue to repeat business with him for future trips.

New Years Eve in Emerald Isle
It was a great little property with a view of the sunrises and sunsets. There is another building across from this one between it and the beach. If you are looking for unobstructed views of the beach, this one is probably not for you. Owner was great with responding and communication. Lots of places to walk to for food and shops.

Great location
Pros: fantastic views; easy beach access, close to grocery, restaurants and shopping; beautifully decorated, washer and dryer, elevator. Cons: kitchen is tiny; stairs (if you don't want to use the elevator) are dark and dirty; the blankets were stained. Overall we are happy and would rent this property again.

New Tradition
The host was easy to communicate with and helpful dealing with various arrival times. The view for not being oceanfront was generous. Just enough shops for those who must shop. The grocery and liquor stores convenient. The linens were missing for the Master Suite and after calling the office they were delivered within 2 hours. The kitchen is well equipped. There are loads of dishes and I can't think of any cooking utensil it didn't have. We prepared an entire traditional Thanksgiving meal in it. I came prepared with potato peelers, large pot, colander, measuring spoons, etc. One bed was missing linens. I called the management office and explained the situation and they were delivered within 2 hours And it was THANKSGIVING.

Almost Heaven - Emerald Isle
Condo was clean & comfortable. Tastefully decorated with a very pleasant palate. We were able to relax & rest when taking a break at the condo. Ocean views were much appreciated. Walk to beach is right there. Gated community- located near everything. There is a nice grocery store just across the main road. Abundance of restaurants and a short ride to all the surrounding area attractions ie downtown Swansboro, Tideland National Rec Trail, etc. Our first time to area and this was a very good find. Our next trip to the Emerald Isle, I will try to secure this property. Nice stay & I highly recommend.

Great vacation spot
The condo was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The owner was great to work with - proactive and responsive. The management company was available and helpful. There are beautiful views of the beach in both directions from the condo, though there is another condo building in front of this one that blocks a full unobstructed view. Having an elevator was great. It might be important to some to know that the staircase to access the beach does have quite a few steps. The beach access was otherwise great with lots of available space and quick access back to the condo. Great value overall. Close access to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, and activities.

Heaven
I know this condo is called almost heaven, but it was pretty close to heaven! The condo was the most well stocked I’ve ever been to. The beach is literally out the front door. You can see the beach from multiple windows. I have had to message Craig about a few things before we arrived and he got back immediately. He also helped us find a car repair facility in the area. The location is perfect for everything! My only complaint is we had to leave! Will definitely be back!

Great location for a family vacation!
We loved the easy access both to the beach and to the grocery store, coffee shop and restaurants. We loved how clean and wide the beach was. We loved the ability to wash our sandy feet off before returning to the condo. This was a great location to make memories. The only two things that could have made it perfection was cooler pool water temperatures (it was like warm bath water) and better shade available to sit on the deck at the condo for an early morning coffee. We had ample space for our family of 5, so that was great! We will definitely return to the island again oneday!

Beautiful views and perfect location
The location and views are amazing!! The beach is perfect. The beach access is so close and equipped with showers and a hose. The beach was never overcrowded the whole week, even being middle of July. We were very impressed with how well stocked kitchen appliances/pots/pans/cooking utensils were. There are plenty of bath linens provided which was really nice to have extra. The checkin/checkout process was easy as could be. The master bathroom was very nice but the second bathroom could use some updating or renovating. It was really nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit as well. We would definitely return in the future.

4th floor property was really nice. Spent many hours on the balcony with the sounds and sights of the waves crashing on the beach. This is our speed now that kids are older and we aren’t hanging out all day on beach Someone mentioned an issue with balcony, saw no issues. Gated entrance was nice with lots of room to park. Left our bikes right outside the door, no issues or concerns with them being there in morning Unit was great, loved the fun dog theme. Smaller kitchen, but wasn’t an issue. We’ll appointed

Great location condo was nice. I’ll be honest the building is showing it’s age the hand rail on the deck should be inspected by someone the mounting hardware have all deteriorated to the point the heads are gone off the bolts it would be a tragedy to have someone lean against that and have it break loose and fall 4 floors . Besides that we enjoyed our week and will return
