Worth a visit!

The property was very nice, clean, and well equipped for short or long stays. The large porch facing the ocean is perfect for taking in the sights and sounds. We also loved the short walk to the beach.

Third time staying here

This was our third time staying and it was great! We love the easy access to the beach. Being able to bring our dog makes the trip great. The unit is perfect for a family of 3 with a dog. Can’t wait to come back.

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!

Third Time was as Good as the First

We love Surf Sounds. Our third stay and it was perfect as always. We shared the house with our kids and grandkids. A great family vacation. Always clean and well equipped. Close to the beach, on street with no traffic. The hosts were very easy to reach and responsive.

In denial we had to leave Emerald Isle!

This was a wonderful rental property. The unit is exactly as advertised, and the Moore's thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The home was super clean upon arrival. The location is fantastic with the beach access so close. We appreciated that bed linens and bath towels were included. We enjoyed riding bikes on Ocean Drive and on the path on the main road. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning to the Crystal Coast!

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!
