Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point

This classic beach cottage is located just one block from the beach and Bogue Inlet. Being so close (3min walk) allows for a convenient stroll to splash and tan ocean side or catch world class red drum while fishing the Bogue Inlet!

From the moment you arrive at this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home it immediately evokes memories of the charming original beach cottages of Emerald Isle. The open floor plan kitchen/dining/living area is where most time is spent when not on the beach and it allows for a great place to gather and entertain friends and family. With two decks and plenty of covered space underneath you can easily move things outside, especially when the "Party Lights" are on downstairs! Dogs under 35 pounds are welcome guests with a pet fee. Bed linens and bath towels are included for up to 10 people so all you need to bring are your beach towels!

The Master Suite has a queen size bed and its own private bathroom with shower. The Bunk Room has a pair of twin over full bunks which make this room a cozy and fun kids' space. The Queen Room has a queen size bed with lots of warm natural lighting. The hall bath has a full size tub but most folks prefer to use the outdoor shower after a long day of fun and sun! Books, games, TVs with cable, Roku, and a DVD player mean that even rainy days at the beach can be entertaining here! Washer and dryer are included as is a grill so you can have the amenities of home while on vacation.

The Point is the area at the end of Coast Guard Rd. known for its quiet and family friendly/ neighborhood feel. Since the beach faces south, there is plenty of sun all day and you can watch the sunset over the water at Bogue Inlet in the evening!

In addition to your beach chair, bring your bikes and ride the elaborate Emerald Isle bike path all over the island to find fun shops and restaurants. We love all of our beach buds and look forward meeting you!

Great Location - 7 Minute Walk
It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the beach, there is a hill (once the boardwalk runs out) that you have to make it over. If you're carrying things, or carting them to the beach, be prepared. But, otherwise, it was great! Clean house inside and out.

Prior Engagement is Excellent
Great location at a great price. This was our first trip to Emerald Isle (beautiful place on the Point). My Mom vacations there and it was her 80th birthday. She wanted all of her kids, grandkids and great grandkids in attendance. My kids/grandkids were set, but my wife and I needed pet friendly and we found Prior Engagement. It was perfect for our needs. The owners/hosts seem like good folks and they checked in on us to make sure that all was good to go. The fenced in yard is a fabulous addition to pet friendly as well. My only beef (and not a big deal) and why I gave 3 stars to check-in and cleanliness has to do with the property management company. I followed the check-in procedures provided by the owners/hosts, however, when I telephoned the property management number to check-in (in accordance with the check-in procedure), I was told that I needed an after hours check-in approval (check-in is 3 PM and it was 3:45) and that I would have to stop at the property management address and enquire as to whether or not an "after hours check-in lock box and pin had been provided". I said, "I just need the door code to the house". The agent got testy with me and informed me that I was incorrect. I said, "Ok, please text me the address of the property management office. Ten mins later, I got a text with the door code to the house. As far as cleanliness is concerned, I had to wash pretty much every kitchen item before it could be used. Not the owners' fault.

Great time and great place
We had a wonderful time staying at Prior Engagement. The home and location were beautiful. Very clean home with nice decks and a good sized, fenced in back yard. Very short walk to the beach. About 3 miles from restaurants and a nice Publix and other stores, so they were close, but far enough away that the whole area is very quiet and residential. Beach on the Point is wide and fabulous, and very uncrowded. My amateur photos wouldn’t do it justice. As a goofy aside, we’ve been in the market for a new mattress for a while, and hard to figure out what to get, and my wife and both agreed the one in our bedroom at the house was it. We ordered the top pillow covering already, and still pricing the actual mattress. Little pricey… The owners are so nice and were very helpful with our questions about the area. Highly recommend Prior Engagement to anyone!
