We returned to enjoy a warm shower wine and hot tub just for us. Access to a golf cart, beach chairs, bikes. I highly recommend this little get away to anyone.

Carolyn and Jonathan have created the BEST place for couples to connect and recharge! From the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew the weekend was going to be special. Everything was exactly as pictured and so much more. Having the golf cart available (at no charge) was wonderful for the times we wanted to enjoy the beach. I just can't say enough about this paradise, see it for youself, you won't be disappointed.

A diamond in Emerald Isle

I can’t say enough about how wonderful the suite retreat was for a mother-daughter treat after my daughter’s semester abroad. The decor was so relaxing with easy access to the beach, park with a shady, woodsy walk and frisbee golf, and restaurants. We used the bikes daily and were at the beach in minutes. For a home with 3 units plus the owner’s residence, it was amazingly private. My daughter and I loved to come home from the beach and chill on the patio lounge chairs! I loved it so much that I can’t wait to bring my husband for a couple’s getaway!

The Best Getaway

This has been the best getaway, every detail in the suite was thought of and detailed with lots of love! They had so much provided within the suite that I didn’t have to worry about bringing anything but myself and clothes. The shared golf cart was such a great add, but the bikes were just as wonderful. It’s such a short ride that I enjoyed biking a lot. I needed a little getaway to refresh and rejuvenate my soul and this place did that for me. I loved it so much that I was so sad that I had to leave. It was such a nice relaxing environment and I hope someday I can make it back!

Weekend get away

The pictures were very deceiving. The place was spotless but extremely small. We thought there was a kitchenette, but there was not. We had not anticipated eating out for every meal. But as I said, it was extremely cozy and nice. Could use a fan on patio, air for a little stuffy. Bikes and golf cart were awesome. We used both quite a bit. Bed was super comfortable. Sitting room was also nice. Overall, a very nice weekend away. Loved it.

Fated Getaway

I wasnt even looking at NC but the picture of this house popped in my search and grabbed my attention. I am glad that happened because the house was very beautiful and cozy and just right for me and my husband. You can't go wrong with this place if you just want to get away by yourself or a partner. On the plus side, the beach is approximately 7 minutes away and there are many places to go nearby for meals. The owners, although I met them very briefly, were very nice. They made sure to send me a welcome text message, which I appreciated. Again, you will not be disappointed if you come and stay at this place. Hubby and I will definitely be back, which is saying a lot because I don't like long distance driving (we traveled 6 hours)!
