A Reason To Be
My husband and girls have stayed in EI before and this was my first time. The area is very quaint with easy access to shopping, golf and fun things to do. Without being right on the beach we were very close and could take a 3 minute walk to the shore. The house was very cozy and well stocked with kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, gas grill

Perfect for a smaller family!
Affordable, clean, well equipped! Single mom with two girls who was looking for something that I could afford and this was it! The trees around it provide wonderful shade and privacy and the deck is almost always breezy. The laundry room was very clean and came in very handy. A close walk to the beach and also to shops.

Great Value
A Reason To Be was a nice house and great deal. It is close to all the spots we love and good access to the beach. It was clean, comfortable, and fully-equipped with everything we needed. Loved the outdoor shower and all the windows/light. Great deck and we loved the privacy. Open floor plan and large dining table helped it “live” large for 5 adults. We liked the en suite full bath in the primary bedroom. All in all, great house and more affordable than anything else we found. Glad we booked early and made payments throughout the preceding 8 months or so.

Nice little house
We enjoyed our stay! Although it was supposed to have an ocean view, the trees was blocking it. We really liked the very short walk to the beach. The beds were clean and comfortable. The house could use a few small updates, like a new dishwasher and the c

A Reason To Be
We loved our stay at a Reason To Be. The house was a very short walk to the beach. It is surrounded by trees which allowed for privacy with a picturesque setting. The beach can be viewed from one area of the deck. The pictures don't give justice to the h

Great week at beautiful Emerald Isle!
There were six adults on this family vacation and A Reason To Be was adequate for our needs. Going in we all knew these were modest accommodations, but decided that for the price and close proximity to the beach, we would be willing to compromise a few "

Nice Week!

Nice week at the beach staying at "A Reason To Be". House was comfortable except for the "water bugs" which were taken care of immediately. Short walk to the beach. We would stay ther

Good place for the price
My family of 4 recently stayed at A Reason To Be and we found it to be more than adequate for our needs. There was enough room for us. The appliances, fixtures, and cookware were fine (not new) and the air conditioning worked great. If you are looking fo

Enjoyable
We had a really nice time. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. Being off the ocean was not a big deal because of the many public access sites. We enjoyed many fine dinners up and down the isle and liked being there during the last week in augu

Comfortable
Very nice setting; liked the feeling of privacy the landscaping provided, particularly from the road. Did enjoy the beach views from the deck and just off the driveway. Loved the location; extremely convenient to the beach and family-friendly, quiet nei

Great vacation home!
We enjoyed our week in a Reason To Be! It was very comfortable and well-equipped. It was a little farther from the beach than we had thought, but still a short walk. Might be too much of a distance with toddlers/babies in arms. Otherwise, great place and
