Blue was perfect for our family group! The keyless check in and entry is fantastic. We had a great vacation. Thank you!

We started renting the Blue Whale in 2006 and have rented it for 13 years at Emerald Isle. What was appealing at first was being pet friendly but we no longer have our furry friend but we love the layout of house and its amenities. As we get older, the elevator is a great help for putting the luggage on, etc. to take to each floor. We like that each bedroom has its own bathroom too. It has been a perfect house for our family and our two grand children love the bunk bed room. The owners do a great job with the “up keep” of the house which brings us back each year.

This home has very easy access to the beach and the shops at Emerald Isle. The Pier is in walking distance. The house is maintained very well. We enjoyed playing pool, sitting in the hot tube, and drinking coffee outside in one of the rocking chairs.

This rental is in a great location and convenient to most everything. It has a wonderful view of the ocean and a short walk to get to the beach. The home is beautifully decorated and the elevator is great too. We loved our week here!

Blue Whale is perfect for our family! We have a special needs family member who loves to sit on the porch and feel the wind on his face! It's so lovely to see him enjoy such a little thing so much. The elevator is a godsend and being so close to the walkway to the beach is essential for us. The house is always very clean and I love the upgrades of the last couple of years. The location is perfect! thank you!

Love the location, the house has everything needed, elevator is exactly what is needed for a power wheelchair, game room perfect for those rainy days. The best beach experience we've had in years. Thank you.

This house was exceptional for our family including a guest who is in a wheelchair fulltime. The elevator measurements were accurate. The house was also pet friendly and smartly designed and well furnished compared to other homes we have stayed at. The game room was a huge bonus for those rainy hours. Hot tub was great too. House is also located very close to CVS and groceries. Highly recommended.

we loved the location. The home was close to the ocean as well as close to shopping and restaurants. The view of the ocean was awesome. Everyone was very comfortable because all bedrooms had their own bathrooms. Also having access to the garage was nice. Parking was very convenient. We will definitely rent again.Rebecca Smith

Blue Whale is a very nice, clean home that seems to be well maintained. Mom and I love to bring our dogs on vacation; we appreciate the opportunity to do so. Blue Whale has a nice yard for the dogs and easy beach access just across the street. We really enjoyed the place, including the beautiful view.

Great house for our family of adults, infants and dogs. The elevator really came in handy to transport luggage and babies to the top floor. Walking path nearby was useful for walking dogs. Having beach access directly access the street was wonderful. Because of the great view of the ocean, hours were spent on the deck in the rocking chairs. Keyless entry made it easy for all adults to come and go as they pleased. The pool table was utilized for pool tournaments in the evening. The house was very clean. We enjoyed the color schemes and decorations.

This was our 4th stay on EI and first in Blue Whale, and this was our favorite home yet. It is clean and comfortable, and the furnishings are modern. We enjoy cooking, and were pleased to find the kitchen exceptionally well equipped with quality cookware and all the utensils we needed - even a pizza wheel. The ocean view was good and the walk to the beach was nothing.
