We have rented beach houses several times, and this house was by far the cleanest, the host by far the most responsive, and the vacation by far the most relaxing. There was plenty of room in the driveway, and the added convenience of having some supplies available for our use the first night was deeply appreciated. We had a great time. This was also the most money we ever spent for a rental, but all in all, it was worth it. While a splurge for us, what we got in return was priceless.

This was our 6th annual consecutive stay and of course we completely enjoyed ourselves. The house is amazing, clean and inviting. They added sand to make the incline from the beach to the house a lot easier to walk up for us older people. Todd and Adina are always available when needed. We'll be back next year.

Second time at Isle Stay Awhile - and another wonderful beach vacation! Adina is a great host and the house is perfect for a family trip with kids. Stunning ocean views, easy access to beach, expansive deck, comfortable interior, and nice little charcoal grill! Quiet location. If traveling with children, check out the nearby aquarium.

Isle Stay Awhile is the perfect beach house for a family! With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large kitchen and 2 living/den areas, there's space for everyone. The deck with its covered area and lounge chairs were great for enjoying the sunrises and sunsets. Lastly, you're right on the beach - the walkway is perfect! The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great week at the beach

We had a great time staying with extended family at the beach. The house has plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Really appreciated having two living rooms and two fridges. The location of the house cannot be beat. Only steps away from the beach and made it easy to go back and forth with young kids. The deck is large and well equipped with plenty of chairs to enjoy the views and the breeze. This was out second time staying at this property and we hope to be back again!

Isle Stay Awhile was amazing! Getting to stay right beside the ocean was just the best, most convenient thing. No packing giant loads of things to take to the beach because we could just run back up to the house to get lunch or more water or whatever else we needed. It was wonderful! The house was amazing! So many amenities, including everything you need in the kitchen, several items for the beach, and ample supplies of toiletries. Adina and Todd were excellent hosts! I definitely hope to come back. We couldn't be more grateful for our week on Emerald Isle.

This place is AMAZING. It was perfect for our family vacation. It is right on the beach. The 2 family rooms were great for shared space. We spent alot of nights on porch star gazing. We really appreciated all the amenities that were available. My husband loved the outdoor shower. Our hosts were very accomodating and very prompt with any question I had. Thank you Adina and Todd.

Fantastic Week

Our multi-generational family enjoyed the one-week stay here. The house was marvelous; and had everything well arranged. The young-uns loved the bunk bed and single beds; and the adults had the Queen bedrooms. We also enjoyed the oceanside access where we could go back-forth from house to beach. Only "downer" was the weather -- some days were cloudy/rainy; but Thur/Fri were sunny with an occasional shower. We went to the Aquarium one day; and had a supper of Ice Cream from Scoops.

Amazing stay on Emerald Isle

We spent a week at Isle Stay Awhile with close family friends. The property was everything we needed...right on the beach, open main floorplan and separate common areas (one upstairs, one down) for the adults and the kids. It was perfectly clean and recently remodeled with newer appliances. We appreciated the extra convenient touches like the foot wash and the outdoor shower. Adena responded to me letting her know the blender was broken by having a new one delivered while we were still there, which was much appreciated (especially by the kids who love their smoothies/frozen concoctions while on vacation!). Highly recommend this property!!

Perfect getaway house

We had a very nice week at this house. The walk from the back deck onto the beach was perfect. We’re able to catch sunrises in the morning and some sunsets in the evening across the street on the sound side. We were fortunate enough to meet a nice woman who walks her dog and she let us sit on her waterfront chairs to watch some pretty sunsets. The rooms worked great for our 2 small families and the convenience of the appliances etc worked just fine. The house was perfectly located to all the activities we did during the week and it was also close to some good restaurants and stores. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a beachfront vacation.

Perfect Beach Escape

Adina and Todd’s house was perfect for our vacation. The space was great for our group which consisted of 6 adults and 3 kids. We loved the extra living space downstairs for the kids to be able to retreat to so the adults could enjoy some peace and quiet. Just steps from the beach, the house had everything we needed. The outdoor shower and wash areas worked out great after long days spent in the ocean. And we loved that there was shade on the upstairs deck to get away from the scorching sun. Any issues that arose were quickly handled by Adina and Todd, they were always quick to respond. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

Another Exceptional Stay

This was our 4th year staying at this exceptional house. The house is always very clean, but this year, the owners did some extra spring cleaning inside and out. It was spotless. The view are amazing and the beach so clean and inviting. I enjoy taking my daily walks on the beach and you meet some very nice people. My son and his friend stayed one night with us and they too were equally impressed. The house is fully equipped for cooking and has a lot of extra amenities, like storage bags, Reynolds wraps, dish soap, etc., but it's nice to pay it forward too. We'll be back next year for sure.

Just Perfect

My husband and I were very impressed with this home. It was extremely clean and the location to the beach can't be beat. Just a short drive to town or Atlantic Beach. The decor was inviting, cheerful and beachy. Showers worked great (good water pressure.) I would have preferred a king bed in the master, since it has the room for one, but we made do. Great walk in closet. We didn't use the downstairs too much, but it is set up perfectly with a family room, bathroom and two bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. We will definitely be returning. The neighbors were very friendly.
