Bikini Cove $2,395.00 - $6,500.00 / Week

Grand time!

"

We have rented with Shorewood 5 times. 3 of them renting the same large home...Bikini Cove. All the staff have been extremely helpful from finding a place to checkin and checkout. Any contact during the stay is rare since they handle quality properties. But in the few instances we needed service, they have responded quickly giving great service. Im sure the home owners are as satisfied as are we. Shorewood is a significant part of why we love Emerald Isle. Their office is centrally located (and near a Dairy Queen..important to our grandchildren). Its hard to believe another realtor can equal their level of service. The one comical item is that we are given a Shorewood tote with local newspapers, map, local activities brochures and ....1 roll of toilet paper...for a 6 bedroom 5.5 bath house. Of course we bring our own. Sadly, due to other obligations for part of our family, we won’t need such a large house....more sadly is that we won’t be renting Bikini Cove again. But we asked Shorewood for info regarding a 4 bedroom home. I know Shorewood will find us a smaller version Bikini Cove and we’ll be just as happy. We thank all the staff at Shorewood for the attention they gave us over the years. It’s a special relationship we want to continue. Have a good winter! Fondly, thank you, from the Lokitz clan.

Beautiful Beach Vacation

"Shorewood Real Estate is absolutely fabulous to work with. Very professional, kind, very informative, more than willing to help and responds to questions quickly. I received a text from Shorewood Real Estate to advise me that the house was cleaned and ready for us to check in a couple of hours early. That was a very kind extra. The house was more than perfect. We had 10 people in total and we were very comfortable in the house with plenty of space for privacy. The ocean in Emerald Isle is a bit too rough for me so the pool came in great use. The elevator was perfect when hauling in groceries. The house is very well equipped and comes with linens (pillows, extra pillows, pillow cases, sheets, blankets, bed spreads, bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths and kitchen towels/wash cloths) which were more than adequate. Each room has it's own bathroom. The bunk room is next to a bathroom on the 1st floor. The kitchen was very well equipped (along with a food processor and blender). It had a large refrigerator along with a smaller one. The small kitchen area in the game room (1st floor) has another large refrigerator in the laundry room along with a small refrigerator near the back door, with quick access to the pool. We needed all 4 fridges to store groceries for the week. The ice maker machine was not operational, but Shorewood had a repairman there to evaluate whether or not it could be repaired or should be replaced. We did not need the ice maker at all, the refrigerator provided adequate ice. On our 1st night, we did not have hot water in 3 of the bedrooms. I called Shorewood's emergency number. They were very responsive, but because we did not discover this until late at night on a Sunday, it was too late to call a plumber. However, a plumber arrived the next morning, right after breakfast. It was a simple reset with the hot water heater. The 3 floors of the house have it's own temperature zone which worked perfectly for our group. The house is beautifully decorated with ample space for porch sitting. Outstanding views of the beach. It is only half a street back from the beachfront with walkway access to the beach. The neighborhood is very quiet. Mostly families. The town is very small but filled with incredibly lovely and welcoming people. We went grocery shopping the day we arrived, it was packed, of course, I accidentally bumped into another woman, I apologized and she says "Dont you worry about it, Honey, it's the summer season, it's expected to be crowded and we're glad you're here". That was pretty much the demeanor of everyone in the area. As a military brat, I've lived in several southern, western and northern states (FL, GA, MS, TN, VA, etc.), NC should hold the title of Hospitality State, hands down. They were incredibly warm, helpful and welcoming. We have already reserved the house for next year. Emerald Isle, NC is in our hearts. Many thanks to the owner(s). You have created a lovely beach vacation atmosphere, very thoughtful in its layout, design and amenities."
