I can't say enough good things about our vacation at the Fairhaven Cottage! We had a great time - the cottage was clean and we really enjoyed the photo albums! The kitchen was well appointed, too. Look forward to returning!

Michigan
Grand Rapids, MIexcellent beach access
Left on 06/30/2012 for a stay in June 2012
We've stayed in the area for about 10 years. Overall very good rental.The proximity to the beach was excellent. It is right next to public access, so there were a lot of beach goers sitting along the beach in front of the house every day- but that really wasn't that big of a deal. It's probably time for a new refrigerator (worked fine, but rusting). Our biggest complaint is that the only grill is an old charcoal grill that looks like someone found it along the road (handle broken etc.)
Response from Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 07/06/2012
Manager
Thank you for your review of your stay at Fairhaven Cottage. I agree, the proximity of this home to the beach is excellent and I'm happy to know that you enjoyed this convenience.
As for the grill, this property doesn't provide a grill so I would suspect the one which you found was left behind by another family who vacationed at this home. We'll certainly keep an eye on the refrigerator, but I have checked our maintenance records back to 2009 and I don't show any reports of an issue with it.
Thank you again for your feedback. I hope you will revisit Emerald Isle and allow Emerald Isle Realty another opportunity to serve as your host. Please call us when you begin making plans for your next stay - 1-888-832-0140. -
Rick & Andrea
Fort Wayne, INRelaxing and spending a week with no agenda and a clean, comfort
Left on 06/02/2012 for a stay in May 2012
We really enjoyed Fairhaven cottage and the area it was located in was relaxing and well maintained. We felt the master bedroom mattress ( king bed upstairs) was pretty soft, but my husband and I turned the mattress 1/4 turn and it seemed better. The home was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook meals and live there comfortably for our too- short one week stay. The grill was a bit of a dinosaur and we bought charcoal to grill out, but never did because it seemed like too much of a hassle to clean out the grill afterwards. Otherwise, we really had a great and restful week and would definitely consider staying at Fairhaven again!! Thank you!

Please call us when you begin making plans for your next stay as we'd love another opportunity to serve as your host during your Emerald Isle vacation - 1-888-832-0140.

Left on 05/31/2012 for a stay in May 2012
This was our 2nd stay at Fairhaven but have been vacationing in Emerald Isle for the past 20 years. Fairhaven lived up to all our expectations.Cottage was clean sleeping arrangements were great and the kitchen was well stocked.Decks were to die for. Only down was that with 6 adults all showering atabout the same time hot water was at times at a premium.We will definitely be coming back and renting from Emerald Isle Realty.

Thank you for your review of your stay at Fairhaven Cottage. It pleases me to know that you enjoyed your vacation and found your accommodations to be desirable and pleasing. I'm sorry to hear of the issue you experienced with the hot water, but I believe having that many people showering around the same time would pose a shortage to hot water at any property. Please call us when you begin making plans for your next stay and we'll happily assist in reserving a property for you - 1-888-832-0140.

5th Year Honeymooners!
Buffalo, NYRelaxing with the dolphins
Left on 05/22/2012 for a stay in May 2012
The house is lovely. We particularly appreciated the floor to ceiling windows on the first floor overlooking the ocean. The floor plan of the house is wonderful and allows privacy and interaction. However, there were two drawbacks. First, the appearance of "critters" which was quickly resolved with a call to Emerald Isle Realty. The second, was only two or three windows in the house opened and there were no screens. Therefore, we could not enjoy ocean sounds and breezes.
Response from Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 06/01/2012
Manager
Thank you for your review of your stay at Fairhaven Cottage. It pleases me to know that you found your accommodations to be pleasing. I agree, the layout of this home is ideal. I'm unsure of what type of "critters" you came across, but our island does have a vast array of wildlife due to the climate and dense vegetation. I am happy to hear that the issue you experienced was quickly remedied. Please call us when you begin making plans for your next stay and we'll happily assist you - 1-888-832-0140.

Salisbury, NCFairhaven Cottage
Left on 04/18/2012 for a stay in April 2012
We truly enjoyed our vacation in Emerald Isle and our stay at Fairhaven Cottage. The house was very clean and well kept. The only things that were of concern to us since we traveled with twins (2 years old) were the mildew that was seen from the air duct vent in the dining room/entrace door. Towards the end of our stay we found ourselves with small little creatures in the kitchen and the living room. Another thing that was dissappointing was that the wireless router did not work which was of little importance to us since we brought our usb wireless card. Beside those little things we had a great time, the house was big enough for all of us (5).

As for the internet, this is not a wireless connection. It does work properly when you plug your device into the modem. Please call us when you begin making plans for your next vacation and we'll happily assist you in reserving this or another rental - 1-888-832-0140.

Left on 04/11/2012 for a stay in April 2012
The house was very nice and roomy! I really liked the covered porch and rocking chairs. The house has three bathrooms so we had plenty of time to get ready to go out. The beach there is very pretty and not crowded at all. We had a great time and was very pleased.

Left on 10/26/2011 for a stay in October 2011
Our 3rd stay here with no surprises with this property Was disappointed that coffee maker didn't work and that the wireless router had been removed from last year (to the best of our recollection) With 3 families staying, each an owner of a business, we were forced to buy a router in Morehead City to keep in touch.
Turning in the keys found employees chating and leaving me at the counter to ask them to accept the return of the keys.Response from Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 01/26/2012
Manager
Thank you for your review of your stay at Fairhaven Cottage. It pleases me to know that you and your family have enjoyed returning to this home for the past three years. I am sorry to hear of your disappointment when you found that the router was no longer in the property. Fortunately, the internet connection is, but you do have to plug into it. As for the coffee pot, please let us know of such things and we'll happily provide a replacement for your use.
I am very sorry to know that you did not feel welcomed into our office when you were checking out. We strive to greet each guest as they enter our doors and don't ever want someone waiting on us to acknowledge them. Again, I am so sorry you weren't promptly greeted and I know that we'll do better by you when you revisit us.

The "K" Family Retreat
Williamstown, WVMemorable Week...Memorable Family Time
Left on 04/28/2011 for a stay in April 2011
Fairhaven Cottage is a perfect beach home...right on the beach with great views from all but one room. The kitchen is well supplied so we could cook family meals every day. It was a quiet, peaceful setting to read, walk the beach and mostly talk and connect with those I love. We are planning to return next year to the same house if all goes as planned.

We love Fairhaven Cottage. This is our second vacation there, and we hope to go back. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. It's location on the beach is outstanding. Views of sunrise and sunset are spectacular. The sand and surf are so inviting. All in all everything needed for a wonderful beach getaway is there.

Beach Grandpa
Highland Heights, KYIt's All About the Beach
Left on 07/22/2009 for a stay in July 2009
The beach is great, rain or shine. Fairhaven is well situated on the beach with great porches, covered and uncovered.
The new furniture in the 1st floor family room is really comfy. Fairhaven is very well appointed - everything that you need to enjoy your beach vacation. The only issue is with the squeaky beds throughout the house - maybe some WD40 on the joints and the springs.Response from Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 01/26/2012

This is a spacious, comfortable home that we have used for many years (probably 8 or more). We appreciate that the owners update it often and keep it well furnished and in good repair. Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable was there and in good working order.

Orchard Park, NYGreat beach house!
Left on 05/07/2009 for a stay in April 2009
We rented Fairhaven during Easter week this year. Loved the house! Had everything that we needed. Great open floor plan (pictures represent the house exactly) with a wall of ocean front windows. This was nice for watching the kids on the beach as well as the dolphins! Plenty of room for everyone to have their "own" space. Our kids want to move there if that's any indication of how family-friendly it was.

Thank you for your review of your stay at Fairhaven Cottage. I'm so pleased to know how much your whole family enjoyed this house. It is well cared for by its owners and it definitely shows. What a treat to get to watch the dolphins play. Even after years of living in the area, dolphin sightings are always exciting to me.

Bernadette
Lincolnshire, EnglandFairhaven Cottage
Left on 01/28/2009 for a stay in October 2008
My husband and I are trying to visit all the states in America so we decide to holiday in North and South Carolina.
We Googled vacation rentals in North Carolina and were introduced to Emerald Isle Reality who had a large choice of homes to rent.
Fairhaven Cottage stood out as it was right on the beach with a short walk over your own private boardwalk. The house was clean, light and airy and had a number of balconies which we spent eating breakfast, reading and just relaxing everlooking the sea watching the dolphins play.
The accomodation included a large comfy bed in the master bedroom with a balcony and a huge whirlpool bath in the en-suite.
Travelling from England, I would have liked some cleaning things like washing up liquid, washing powder etc as you can only buy huge big packets in America.
Overall, Fairhaven is a house you would wish to return to.
