Thank you!

Adina and her husband have been amazing hosts. This is the third year we have stayed at this rental for Christmas and it is decorated nicely and very clean. They are great with communication. If you are looking for a spacious house, with direct beach access it does not get any better then here.

This home was great. The location was perfect! Walking distance to shops and dinner! Also rented bikes and took several rides! Private walk out to the beach. Property management has thought of everything!! If you forgot something chances are they have it available for you. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful beach front home for our family vacation!

Our family's stay at Isle Escape was just wonderful. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The house is just the right size for our family of six and the children loved the games that they found available to play. Such an easy walk across the backyard and over the dune and down onto the beach ... which was not crowded at all!!! We loved eating out at the local restaurants that were so close by as well as preparing some of the meals in the well equipped kitchen. The owners were excellent with their replies to our questions prior to our arrival so we knew just what to expect as well as what was expected of us that we never had to call them after we arrived. They also went above and beyond what we expected when there was some property damage following Hurricane Florence to have everything repaired and ready for our visit just 3 weeks later....which was in the middle of Hurricane Michael!!! We are already looking forward to another trip to this location!

Amazing week in Emerald Isle!

We’ve been coming to EI for the last 7 years and of the 4 homes we have stayed in (all ocean front) this is hands down the best home. Adina has thoughtfully curated an entire BINDER full of relevant and recent information on everything you could want or need. Additionally her pay it forward practice ensured we had almost everything we needed for our stay. I ran out to buy conditioner before I realized it was already there! Please enjoy that bottle of conditioner it now lives under the sink in the upstairs bathroom! Anyway, our kids kept saying how this beach house felt so different from the others in that it felt truly like a home. So many nice and thoughtful little touches to list but they really didn’t miss a thing here at Isle Escape! Thank you for yet another amazing vacation in Emerald Isle. We can’t wait to return.

Little Gem

We had a wonderful week at Isle Escape! The location was perfect, the house has fantastic views of the Ocean and a nice breeze made the porches ideal to enjoy in the mornings and evenings. We loved eating dinner overlooking the ocean from the picnic table on the back porch and it was so nice to be just steps from the beach. The house was immaculate when we checked in and had everything we needed for an ideal ending to our Summer. We would absolutely return!

Great location, clean and well appointed

We loved our time at this home. Easy to check in, clear communication, and it had everything we needed! The only suggestion I have would be to add one more detailed photo of the beach access. We had seniors in our party and the walkway didn’t have an easy path onto the beach. It may be difficult for those with limited mobility. Just a suggestion. Overall, a great time and we will be back!

Beautiful location

My family and I stayed here for the week. What a beautiful beach, 150-200 steps to the ocean. My kids loved the outdoor shower, it was great to get all the sand off. Sunset slush right down the beach was amazing ice cream/sorbet. The only complaint was the water. We are spoiled to live in the country with clean well water. The fridge filter and under sink one haven’t been changed in a long while. Either bring a brita or bottled water and ice to have good tasting water.
