Family gathering
I didn’t realize it was half a house. I didn’t realize we had to make our own beds and strip the sheets at the end. Didn’t mind garbage duty. We are careful people so we stressed over all the posted signs of dos and don’t’s. Not enough towels, wash rags or blankets - glad we brought our own. Beautiful views. Nice seating out doors.

Great week in Emerald Isle celebrating my mother's 70th birthday. The home was beautiful and spacious and it was great to open the doors and immediately listen to the ocean. We plan to be back here in the future!

Great place, as described
This house was great for our family. The owner’s have baby gear which they allow their guests to use (including a baby monitor). The third/top floor was the best feature—four twin beds and one queen bed. The older kids loved camping out up there. The house has nice beach chairs and a box of beach toys, so we didn’t need to bring any gear. They have basic kitchen supplies like salt and pepper, coffee filters, Ziploc bags, Saran Wrap. So it’s nice in that aspect, whereas other vrbos have zero items, and you have to buy anew every time. The kitchen as well-stocked with any cooking supplies we needed. The walk to the beach was great/easy. Hosts are very responsive.

Beachfront Fun
The house was well maintained, with plenty of room for our entire group of nine guys. The location is extremely convenient and the private deck is a nice feature for private beach access and relaxing in view of the ocean. We had an excellent time and would definitely rent here again in the future.

Amazing Beach Getaway
We loved our time in Emerald Isle. This was a first for us. We had family from all over the world and many age ranges. The beds were comfortable, the house was quiet when younger kiddos needed to sleep, and the house had everything we could need. The owner was so kind and provided great insights. The location of this house right on the beach is absolutely amazing. We also found incredible shells on the beach. This home allowed for so many memories to be created, thank you. We hope to return.

A fabulous 4th!
We enjoyed our stay at Seaside Sanctuary. Chris was quick with responses to questions I had prior to our trip and insisted is to contact him with any questions or concerns while staying at his beautiful home. The location was phenomenal. And the house was definitely comfortable and inviting with a hostess gift waiting for us upon arrival.

Perfect for family
The property owners were proactive in communicating with me about our stay. The property was easily located and provided plenty of parking for our family (5 vehicles). You can see the ocean from the living room, dining room and kitchen; as well as two bedrooms and the great big room that has five beds. Overall, we loved it!

Cozy and Peaceful
Seaside Sanctuary was just that . . . a cozy, peaceful sanctuary I returned to at the end of very busy, business filled days in Morehead City. It was a delight to stay in this lovely home with the ocean as my backyard. The home was clean, organized, and equipped with everything you need for a great time at the beach! You can tell the hosts love their home. Chris was very kind and responsive. Stay at Seaside Sanctuary - you will love it!

We all were very impressed with everything from cleanliness to views, how conveniently close to entertainment as well as to all the toys for our grandchildren to enjoy. And have to say when one of my grandkids evidently put one of there remotes in the bag mom mistakenly took it home the owner was very understanding to this. We sincerely appreciate your patience with this. We will most certainly be back! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home.

Vacation Getaway with a Family Wedding
Mother Nature had other plans for us... we had rain 3 of the four days. However, it wasn’t bad. Right next to the beach, it allowed us to enjoy the beach between raindrops. The house looked great and really fit our needs. On our last full day, Mother Nature blessed us with a beautiful day and we enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks to Chris and Karen........
