Loved our time here! There was construction on the elevator so we woke up to drilling most mornings, but not the rooms fault! The beach service is probably my only complaint. Chairs and umbrellas are taken at 4:30 and literally right on top of each other. Not even enough room for the umbrella to open without touching the others nor walk out in between. They take the umbrellas even earlier if “the wind is blowing.” I understand storm or stronger winds, but there was a slight breeze and they were taken at 2 pm. I have never experienced anything like that before. Room was awesome, and so were the beds! The room had some sand on the counter tops and the shower was stopped up, but aside from that a great experience!

Thank you for choosing RealJoy and for staying at Emerald Isle Resort 605. We’re glad the room and beds met your expectations and appreciate the 5-star rating. I’m sorry the elevator construction noise disrupted your mornings — that work was scheduled by the building and we understand how frustrating the drilling can be. I also apologize for the issues with the beach service; chairs and umbrellas are handled by the onsite vendor/association, but we will pass along your feedback about overcrowding and the early removal policy so they can review spacing and wind procedures. Finally, I’m sorry you found sand on the counters and that the shower was stopped up. Housekeeping and maintenance have been notified to address those items. Thank you for the helpful feedback — we hope to welcome you back to Emerald Isle Resort 605.

The beds are very comfortable. The condo is clean. The balcony is large. The elevators were quick. The walk to the beach was short. We loved the 2 chairs and umbrella on the front row that’s included in the stay.

The heated pool and hot tub were great considering the temperature was in the 60’s the week we were there. The condo was very clean but we had to buy extra items while we were there such as extra toilet paper, sponge for dishes, and paper towels, etc. over all very pleased with our trip.
