Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes In Attitudes'

Step off the deck, and you’re right by the beach!

The house was clean, plenty of space, comfortable furniture and close access to the beach. Very close to grocery stores and plenty of restaurants around.

We absolutely had a fabulous beachfront time at Changes in Attitudes. Our host Jan was accessible and responsive. Everything about check-in was a breeze, the kitchen was fully stocked and she even stocked refrigerator and pantry staples so that we wouldn't have to buy things like ketchup, mustard, sugar etc. The home was comfortable and had many TVs etc. It was clear that the kitchen had been updated and there was even a wine fridge which really came in handy!! She even had beach chairs, boogie boards, grill, etc which enhanced our beach enjoyment. We would stay again without reservation!!

We loved the location of the house and the beach, it wasn’t super crowded and was such an easy few steps away. The kitchen was well stocked - but overall, the house could use a lot of updating and improvements. There were no screens on the sliding doors or windows which was disappointing, because we wanted to enjoy the breeze without worrying about letting in bugs. There was not enough room for all 12 of us to be together, there are only 8 chairs at the dining table, room for 6 on the couches, and room for like 8 outside - this was also disappointing, we were there with family and wanted to spend time together and the space was not able to accommodate us. I would not want to stay with 14 people, that’s entirely too many people for this house. There were several soft spots in the floors, and water was leaking from the upstairs toilet. The house was very worn down, and same with the furniture, it definitely looks like a heavily trafficked house without the TLC and updating. The cleanliness of the house could be improved as well, it didn’t seem super clean upon arrival. We loved the location but we will not be staying here again.
