Fabulous location right across a dead end quiet street from the beach with a beach access/ minimal stairs right out the front door! The beach is wide and flat, great for walking. The home was very clean, had extra bath towels and beach towels, and very comfy beds. The extra half bath sink and toilet off the master was really appreciated and along with a great outdoor shower with hot water made it a full two bathrooms. The owner was very responsive and door code easy to use. Was great as a half duplex but would be great to rent both units for larger families as they connect.

We had a wonderful experience at Surf Sounds. Ken and James are great hosts and will respond quickly to any questions, concerns or issues, not that we had any issues during our stay. The location is perfect, quiet end of street. Get bikes as it’s a quick ride into town and just let the car sit. Kitchen is very well appointed, and everything was so clean and new.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. So clean, so cozy and yet so spacious for my husband and our dog. James, the owner, is so responsive and helpful. Met the cleaner, Heather, and she is fabulous and keeps the place SO clean. The entire unit was stocked, especially with kitchen essentials --- plenty of glasses, cups, plates, bowls, silverware. Everything was made easy! The location to the beach is perfect, right across the street via an easily accessible boardwalk. Fell in love with Emerald Isle and this place was the conduit for making that happen. Such a charming, quiet neighborhood it is in, too. Definitely looking forward to returning!

Amazing stay at Emerald Isle

Surf Sounds was THE PERFECT house for our stay in Emerald Isle!! My two teenagers appreciated the 2nd bedroom having two full beds, and we all slept well on the mattresses! The house was very clean, the linens were in good shape (and smelled nice!), and the kitchen was well stocked. The house was a perfect location to get to the beach - as close to oceanfront as you can get without paying oceanfront prices! The beach access was mere steps from the house, and Emerald Isle town was a short drive away (5 min). Perfect location!Owners were VERY communicative and responsive during both booking and our stay! I would 100% book this house again. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the place super cute! The pictures make it look like there are 4 beds but there are only 3. 1 queen two doubles. No pull out sofa , so our boys slept on sofa top. I’d recommend a pro candy barrier between the two suites. Other than that was a great
