We have found "our place to stay" at the beach!
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.

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)!

Everything we needed, was there, snanks, coffee and Alexa. Which really added to the already romantic setting. We shopped, fished and walk the beaches. 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. Handsdown the best place we have ever stayed at.

“ Love is what happens when two hearts find a place that reminds them how tiny their problems are”
From the moment we parked in front on our Suite Retreat, I smiled with joy. On the door, was a special made big red heart with our names on it. Upon opening the door, I first heard the sound of sea waves and a crackling fireplace. Dim lighting only reinforced my shoulders relaxing, as our eyes took in every precious detail Carolyn, ( the best host imaginable) arranged for our arrival. Candlelight everywhere, homemade chocolate chip cookies, rose petals and a bottle of wine arranged about the bedroom. Complimentary waffle robes and bedroom slippers hung by the bed with a rosé tastefully placed. The subtle twinkle lights along the headboard glowed like tiny stars. As, I looked over at my husband, I found his eyes sparkling just as much as mine as we took it all in. As a couple that is middle aged we both dropped our luggage, laughed and settled right into a peaceful rest. This was our first vacation alone in over 10 years and Johnathan and Carolyn provided us with a perfect getaway. Carolyn is both professional and so personable. The moment you meet her you can’t help but smile, hospitality just seems to flow from her. She answered so many questions I had. The suite was so clean and cozy. Even the patio was so inviting that we sat bundled up in blankets watching the patio lights swing in the breeze. We needed help with Netflix Johnathan was there in a flash helpful and smiling. The area provides amazing food, art and activities. Don’t wait book now!

FABULOUS getaway- peaceful
We LOVED staying here. The hosts are amazing! We took advantage of the "extra" celebration package and were greeted with a banner in our parking spot and by the host. It was delightful. We entered the property to find relaxing calm music playing in a well lit and VERY CLEAN environment as well as romantic pedals, a cheese, crackers and wine tray, luxurious bathrobes and slippers and just an overall comfy cozy retreat. The next morning our gracious hosts blessed us woth lemon delights that were just that, delightful! The hot tub was incredibly relaxing too! The unit is equipped with voice commanded light and music, or you can use the remote for the lights. It was all so easy and made relaxing even more doable. The hosts provide everything you're ever going to needs, coffee, twa, snacks, drinks, toiletries, accessories and RELAXATION. They even extended a late checkout for us so we could enjoy our last day there and take our time. You'll not want to miss out on this property or any others these hosts have. They think of EVERYTHING to make your stay worth it in every way! I just cannot say enough positive about it. The unit was so cozy and comfy and just right for a weekend getaway for two. Definitely giving this place 5 time 5 billion stars! Stay here, you'll be so glad you did! It's peacefully secluded, yet aptly located to everything a beach getaway could want!

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.

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!

We stayed with Carolyn and Jonathan from Sept 7th - 17th and couldn’t be happier. They both made our trip beyond exceptional. We stayed in Suite B for 5 days and suite C for 5 days and both are amazingly clean. The homey touches Carolyn has added are top notch. She literally has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The golf cart and bikes make getting to the beach a breeze. Their place is central to everything which is also a plus. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much Carolyn and Jonathan for for letting us stay in both suites when our other VRBO fell through. Without you our vacation may not have happened. I believe that God directed us to your place and we ended up having one of the most relaxing trips. You both are the sweetest, kindest people. Your friends, Jenn and Adam
