Keystone West West - Emerald Isle Paradise

Beautiful 4 bedroom, 3and 1/2 bath half duplex sitting right on the beach. Nothing to do here except relax and enjoy the sea breezes from either of our 2 decks. Direct access to the beach and full backyard as an added bonus but great for yard games and to keep the little ones entertained when you have had enough beach time.

Renovations as of June 2023 include new flooring throughout and all bathrooms updated. Top floor has amazing views from great room, open kitchen and large deck. Dining room table seats 8 plus 4 bar stools at kitchen island. Additionally, top floor also has queen bedroom with smart TV and full bath with shower.

Middle level provides a queen bedroom with smart TV, twin room with 2 beds (with 1 trundle bed) and shared hall bathroom with walk in shower. Also on the middle level, master bedroom has direct access to deck facing the ocean. Master has 2 closets and TV with cable. Master bath includes dual vanity, soaking tub with separate shower. Full size washer and dryer on second level.

First level family room provides extra living space with cable TV in case of a rainy day or extra guests with a pull out couch and half bath. Outdoor shower, covered picnic table and grilling area, and plenty of parking round out what this home has to offer.

The house is also close to stores, restaurants, aquarium, mini-golf courses and the Emerald Isle pier. Don t miss out on staying at this little slice of paradise!

4th Stay

This is the 4th year in a row that I have spent a week with my family at this house for a week. The owner made a lot of great updates including new flooring and bathroom updates. It’s a great house in a great location directly over the bridge on Emerald Isle! Highly recommend for a family!

Fabulous vacation

We had a wonderful vacation and loved Keystone West. The house was beautiful and spacious enough for our 10 family members. The views were stunning. We loved having the yard for activities when we wanted a break from the beach. And the beach is just steps away! House is close to grocery stores, movie theater, restaurants and souvenir shops. Perfect location! We loved it!!

Great House/Location

This was our third stay at this house and it continues to be a great house for our family vacation. We have 8 total people and the house fits our family perfectly. The house is well stocked, is in a great location right over the bridge and near Publix and Swansboro. I highly recommend this property. The owner is great to work with and takes great care of the property.

Beautiful house and great location

Beautiful beachfront home with many amenities. Great views and easy beach access. Large yard (bring a croquet set or soccer ball!), outdoor shower, sun deck and shade deck, comfortable beds. Clean home with updated decor. The house had everything you need for a relaxed vacation. Ideal location close to restaurants, shrimp stands, grocery store, water park, board rental, etc. Highly recommended!

Beautiful view!

Location and duplex view is excellent! Loved having the kitchen on top floor to sit out on deck and enjoy the ocean. Loved the extra space particularly the spacious room on ground floor. Minor improvement feedback is not enough pillow cases for the pillows and perhaps have one king bed instead of all queens. Enjoyed the gas grill also!

Fantastic Stay!

A group of 6 girlfriends and I stayed here for a few days and loved this house! It is directly on the beach and we enjoyed being able to see and hear the ocean from the balconies. There's a grocery store 1/4 mile down the road, and there are several restaurants near by. The only thing that would have improved our trip would be better lighting over the dining table for evening meals and game nights. Thanks for a great experience - I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Emerald Isle!

Wonderful home, great location

This is a beautiful home with extra attention give to details. It appears fairly recently renovated - new kitchen appliances, fresh clean bathrooms and nicely decorated sitting areas. The kitchen is well stocked and there's plenty of seating areas in the den. Despite being near a public access walkway, that access is only for the neighborhood and we did not feel crowded even during a stay on a holiday weekend. Owner was quick to respond to questions and easy to work with!

Exceptional Place of Stay

The house was exceptional! It was clean, and roomy. The kitchen have everything that you would need. Loved the top floor balcony with the chairs that sits up high to view the beach and the ocean. Very short pathway to the beach. The food stores and etc is conveniently very close by. The Black Pearl Miniature Gulf is down the road on Reed Street. My husband and I had fun there. The employee that works there is very nice to talk to. A very big souvenir shop of Emerald Island merchandise is right next to the miniature golf place as well on Reed Street. My husband and I really liked staying at "Keystone Kottage".

Enjoyed our stay at a beautiful home in an amazing location!

We had such a wonderful vacation on Emerald Isle at Keystone Cottage West. Sue was so great about keeping us informed the entire time and answering all our questions and addressing any of our needs. The home was absolutely lovely and so spacious. The location was great and so close to the grocery store and restaurants. The beach is not crowded at all which was a huge plus. We often had the beach to ourselves. We would highly recommend this property! Don't forget to get up early to watch the sunrise--it's worth it! And the sunsets are just as dreamy! Thank you Sue!

Perfect Location on the beach

Perfect location close to restaurants shops and ON the beach! The home needs a little TLC (Freezer door broken, sinks clogged, toilet running / deep cleaning would be preferred. Property manager was super responsive but all of the items were not resolved. Check in was late - we were not able to get into the home until 4:30pm when we were told 3pm. Management offered a gift card for our inconvenience, but we didn't receive that until Thursday and some of us were leaving on Friday. Kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes / pots / pans. Grill access was wonderful also. Puzzles and games provided was fun for the kids. Overall great location, and charming beach house.

A lovely property and stay but…

My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this home for three nights in April. The house was wonderfully stocked with everything one could need from boardgames to kitchen, cooking supplies and lots of camp chairs, and beach toys. It is a perfect family getaway, and the below items do not change that! Yet, there are a few things that could have been better: The quality of the mattresses was low. Hand in hand with that, the sheets and towels provided, which are cleaned through an external laundry service, were very poor quality. Working in the hospital setting, these had the same harsh and over bleached feel of our hospital bedding and sheets. This also resulted in quite a mix of quality. Some of the towels were worn, so then we could almost see through them while others were sparkling white hotel, quality towels. These are not major dealbreaker, but when paying this much for a house, I have certain expectations. Lastly, the house is accessible through a digital keypad. Throughout the entire state, we had exceeding difficulty locking the front door. I did call the property manager, who walked me through the process again to no success. I did not pursue the issue further at the beach, but I think that this needs to be addressed.

Amazing beachfront home. Layout functioned extremely well for our family. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful decor, comfortable furniture, beautifully updated bathrooms. This property was so clean and the linen service was great. The sheets were not the typical "hospital grade rough" sheets, and the bathtowels were fluffy and absorbant. Overall, it was possibly one of the best properties we've stayed at throughout the southern coast of North Carolina. We were so happy we booked again for next year! Thank you for opening your gorgeous home to us!
