New 2024 SEASON .....8 in BLACKSTONE GRIDDLE. Upper level carpet is now gone. The home, if possible, feels even more open with the NEW LUXURY VINYL FLOORS and new AREA RUGS. Savor the most handsome beach on the East Coast from this serene light-filled oceanfront home. The clean design and fabulous open floor plan make it the ideal place to bring family and friends, with the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard. Due to the unusual orientation of Bogue Bank, you can watch the sun rise AND set from the dramatic deck of this midcentury modern home.
Simple pleasures for all ages abound: long morning walks, body surfing, world class shell collecting, watching porpoises play from the deck, sunbathing and just getting lost in a good book. Food even tastes better on the screened porch! Serve up a casual seafood supper on the breezy screened porch as the sun begins to set.
OUTDOOR- PRIVATE HOT-COLD SHOWER that is a MUST experience!
Three comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the main floor, including a bright and cavernous oceanfront master suite. The lower level with direct beach access offers an additional king bedroom, bath and a sizable bunk room to sleep 6, ideal for cousins or single guests. This is accessed from the indoor steps from the great room.
There are only ten steps to the beach from the lower level.
The home is located in a sleepy beachside community. The nearest major attraction is the amazing North Carolina Aquarium less than five mins. away. Enjoyable eateries are within a ten-min. drive.
This midcentury modern home was constructed in the late 1970's and has remained in our family. It has been appreciated by four generations.
The vistas are exceptional. All but one bedroom, have oceanfront vistas.
If your group is 'all about the beach,' this is the home for you.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. Book your Crystal Coast rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best rental:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Front Emerald Isle - Pine knoll Shores - PET FRIENDLY has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
