Vacation for the family
The property had everything we needed. The location was within distance of all the great places to see and eat. Access to the beach and Jenette Pier, ideal! We would stay here again in a heartbeat! The fact we could bring the family dog was the cherry on top. Thanks for the great stay.

Amazing location with close beach access
This condo was ideal for our family of 5 and pet dog. We loved the short walk to beach to catch amazing sunrises, then play in sand and water in the afternoon. So many great restaurants within minutes - like Captain George’s seafood buffet, Outer Banks Brewing station and great subs steps away at Stop n Shop. We even walked to Proof bakery for the best donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Wright brothers museum is around the corner and nearby Jockey’s ridge was a favorite. Such a great value for this location!

Ultimate Getaway
This house was perfect, an oasis that our family needed after a very hectic time. It had everything we needed to just relax, cozy living room, the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on, perfect Wi-Fi and peaceful views. When we were rested and ready to go, it was the perfect launch pad. The beach was right there, excellent restaurants, plenty to do or nothing if that’s what you wanted. The management was superb, check in, communication and check out all seamless. Have already recommended to friends and would return again anytime.

Beach Oasis at Island Light Paradise
We enjoyed our family beach trip! Island Light Paradise is a short walk to the beach. We were also able to bring our family dog which was a perk. The community was super quite, there are no other rentals in the building that we could tell. Property was very clean and well maintained. Communication with Joe was great—super responsive! We’ll be back!

We had a great time, property management was wonderful, place was great, location perfect. The only slight complaint would be the people above us had a dog that barked a lot . Did not really bother us but might to some who don’t like dogs. For us it was perfect .

Overall Excellent
Everything was great. Only improvements I can add would be to give a couple more mini bars of soap, at least two dishwasher detergent tabs, silverware needs to be refreshed low quantity of flatware, leave 1-2 disposable "Handi-Wipe" type of disposable kitchen towels. All this would cost you very little and make the experience much better. Take you five overall.

Best of both world's
This was a great place for our short stay. The most important thing to us was the dog friendly atmosphere for a reasonable price, which we found here at swell life. The home was clean. You can see the sound/bay and the ocean from the deck. If you sit in the right spot you can watch the waves roll in and in the other spot watch the sun set and its gorgeous colors over the sound/bay. You can hear the ocean at all times. We always like a oceanfront view and although this wasn't an oceanfront view. You did have a view of both worlds... just had to share the ocean view seat with the others in the house. The walk to the ocean is the same as an oceanfront house would have. The luggage lift was a life saver, especially since im getting older and my knees and back just aren't like they use to be. The beds were comfortable and we had all the linens and towels that we needed. Loved the shower in the main bedroom. I believe my only suggestion would be to put some support under the couch cushions as you sink quit a bit when you sit down in it. Other than that, the couch was very comfortable and had plenty of room for people to sit and be comfortable. I want to thank Joe for sharing his place with us while we remembered my dad on his heavenly 63rd birthday. I would love to return..... maybe longer next time and oceanfront if able.

Pleasant Stay
The condo is just as advertised - pictures are accurate, amenities as stated. Check-in/check-out procedures are super easy. The condo was very clean, but you know it is dog friendly from the get-go from the smell (particularly in the bathrooms). Given that it is heavily advertised as a dog friendly unit, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but fresher smelling cleaning products or replacing the bathroom "small spaces" fresheners might help. I suspect some folks pen their dogs in the bathrooms because that is really where it is most noticeable. We had a few minor issues during our stay with the dishwasher, burnt out light, and internet, but nothing to deter us from recommending the unit. In fact, we notified her at the end of the trip because they didn't detract from our stay. The owner is very responsive and I don't think anyone would have problems getting an issue resolved. There is no view from the balcony. Again, this should not be a surprise as it is stated in the listing. It is a great balcony, but literally is facing scaffolding and another building's wall. However, the front entrance of the unit has chairs, a partial ocean view, and is private despite being the entrance. For the price paid, this is a great unit in a nice location. Very close to the pier, plenty of parking, freshly remodeled. None of my comments are meant to deter anyone. Amy is very straightforward in her listing and we encountered no surprises relative to no elevator, view, etc. AND, we liked the Fiesta Ware :)
