Our family of 4 had a great stay. The house was very clean and stocked with all the necessities of home. Close to everything. We enjoyed short bike rides to the beach , walked to restaurants and paddle boarded on the Bogue Sound.

Great week at Emerald Isle
The house was very nice and stayed very cool during a hot week. It was clean and felt like a home away from home. We walked to many places and enjoyed the top deck, pool table, bikes, and corn hole. The rooms were spacious and spread out. The TV had many options. It was a great week.

Great vacation spot!
My family really enjoyed staying at the heart of Emerald Isle! The home was very clean, well stocked and in a wonderful location. We took bike rides both to the beach and the sound. The parking pass worked great as it butts up right to the beach and even has a bike entrance. I didn’t think we’d take advantage of the billiards table, but our family enjoyed competing and learning how the game worked. The house is located in a semi busy location, but the house almost seemed soundproofed. The bunk beds were awesome for my older kid and younger kid. I also asked the host o few questions to which he responded quickly and kindly.

Perfectly central
My husband and two young children stayed here and it was just as the listing described. Very clean and conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and the beach. The owner was very responsive to any questions. The kitchen was stocked with all you could need and there were plenty of towels in the bathrooms. We loved our trip to Emerald Isle and will definitely be back.

Awesome house, close to everything
The house was really family friendly and was perfect for our family of 4. It was close to most of the restaurants and attractions within Emerald Isle. It even had its own private parking lot close to the beach for community homeowners/guests. We were within walking distance of the Bogue Sound so we took advantage of that for some amazing fishing for the little ones. Truly a great place to stay!

The Heart of Emerald Isle was an amazing place! Very clean, owners were super responsive and helpful! The location was also awesome! Pool table was nice and provided hours of entertainment with cold beverages. They had 7 bikes which allowed us to explore EI and easily go to the beach if we didn’t want to drive. The house was well built, spacious and served all of our needs. We will definitely be looking to go back again next year! 5 stars for sure.

We had a wonderful time in Emerald Isle. The house was updated , clean and tastefully decorated. The amenities were above what we expected, such as coffee and bottled water and bathroom supplies . The house was close to stores and shops, many within walking distance. The owner was very accommodating and prompt with communication. The shimbumi was perfect for the beach ! I would highly recommend this property . A golf cart rental made trips to the beach easy,!
