Spinnaker's Reach Realty in Emerald Isle, North Carolina

“I'll start off by saying we had a wonderful time at Cassimir West. The location is amazing. The beach on this stretch of EI is awesome. Wide, scenic and perfect for a large group. The neighborhood is very close to the shops and restaurants at that end of the island, so we couldn't have asked for a better spot to have a vacation. A few shortcomings though... I'd think about the size (literally) of your group. We had 6 teenagers and 4 adults. It was tight. There is no couch in the playroom despite the pics, so the teenagers barely used it. Also the internal stairs are very steep--I kept thinking about how my mother in law would deal with that for a week--it might not have been very good. Kitchen worked great, good tools and plenty of space. Bottom line, you're getting a great location. I've been going to EI since the '80s and my family owned 2 houses there, so I have a bit of experience. At the end of the day, it's beachfront, and you can't beat that.”

“House was clean and nest.”

“Enjoyed our stay and would book again. We found the house to be as described and pictured. We loved that the house was on a quiet, dead end street with the beach access just a few houses down. Mini golf and ice cream were within a walkable distance, conveniently located a very short drive from restaurants and grocery stores. The kitchen was well-stocked. I would recommend replacing the few beach chairs available for use, adding a baby gate for convenience, and replacing or offering extra bed pillows.”

“The location was good but there were a number of issues that we reached out about and said they would be taken care of while we were there & were not - namely the disgusting air filter in the kitchen and the gas grill that would not ignite. 3 people got glass in their feet in the living room in the first 24 hours. There was dust literally everywhere & the couches were disgusting. There was a massive gash in the screen door and wasp nests surrounding the property.”

“The house has great potential. Well decorated. Has everything you would needed. Nice decks. Good size. Definitely needs to be better maintained. There was water damage on bathroom ceiling. A weird smell in living room that we couldn’t pin point if it was furniture or rug. Mold in dishwasher and mildew in showers.”
