Ideal setting, seclusion, and a securely fenced yard!

The diligent housekeeping created an atmosphere that was both warm and welcoming. Our family delighted in outdoor pleasures, such as the fire pit and bean bag toss, while exploring the charming locales of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, and Morehead City.

This house was exactly what I was looking for. I love being near the water and had never been to Emerald Isle, so I wanted something far enough from the usual beach congestion to feel relaxed, but still close to the water—and this home delivered on both.The house is located in Newport, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys the beach as well as the calm of the sound. The location was perfect, and the home itself was clean, open, airy, and full of thoughtful touches that made our stay feel extra special.I traveled with my dog and really appreciated the spacious backyard, along with the added convenience of dog bowls being provided. It made a big difference.I’m also grateful for how accommodating and responsive the host was whenever I had a question. Overall, I would absolutely return—not just to Newport, but to this house specifically. Choosing this place definitely earned me some points, and I’m confident you won’t be disappointed if you stay here too.

Loved the house with the fire pit. The kids love sitting out there around the fire. House was very clean and they were very generous with giving courtesy kcups, and a very kind welcome gift. Be sure to ask where the entrance to the water is and also the play ground. We did t need them this round. But if we did we would have needed directions. Great stay and very comfortable!

When we arrived, we were welcomed with chocolate and a bottle of wine. The house was very clean and cozy. The host was wonderful and quick to answer questions. Absolutely loved relaxing on the back porch and could have sat in that egg chair all day. It’s a very peaceful area at the end of the road right around the corner from sound access. While in the area, I definitely recommend visiting The Friendly Market for tasty local goodies! Overall extremely happy with our stay!
