This is a great property located just a few blocks from Front Street (Shops, restaurants, museum and fishing). Toby and his son, Chip made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We were greeted at the door with smiles, (even though it was pouring rain and our delayed flight made our arrival later than planned) and a run through of the house. After a quick trip to the grocery store (4 minutes away) we were able to eat on the deck every morning and a few early evenings. The patio offers relief from the sun in the early afternoon and gets a gentle breeze even when the wind is blowing up a storm. The house is big enough to give everyone (5 people, children ages 15, 18, and 21) some space at the end of a hot day and central air is refreshing. With two bathrooms w/ showers, it was easy to have everyone cleaned up quickly at night and the onsite washing machine and dryer allowed us to pack much lighter. There is a table in the kitchen but we used the patio more often. Everything worked in the kitchen as it should and the ice maker in the fridge worked great. The fridge is large enough to hold a week of breakfast and lunches allowing us to spend more on eating out at nearby restaurants in the evening. We were able to visit a new beach every day without driving more than 20 minutes. Atlantic Beach is less than 12 min. away and Ft. Macon Beach is 14 minutes. There are four public docks within walking distance. Our oldest son was able to catch pinfish, croakers and, with a little help from some locals, was able to land a small hammerhead shark. This is a great house in a great location and it was nice staying here. The locals are very friendly and they should be proud of their great town. We can’t wait to return and will definitely be staying at “Emma’s Resort”. Thank you Toby and Chip for making this the best vacation ever!
