Welcome to Beach Retreat West. This 2nd row duplex has it all. Appreciate great ocean and sound vistas without the oceanfront rental prices. This home is in elegant condition, with over 2000 sq. feet of living space. View the ocean or sound from every single room in the home. Walk out onto the decks, and the ocean vistas will take your breath away. I promise, once you have been here for a week, or two, you will never want to leave.

You will wake up in the mornings, walk out onto the decks, and gaze out over the handsome Crystal Coast. Take a deep breath and you will smell Emerald Isle's salty air. This home has four bedroom, with queen beds (all with deck/balcony access), a kids' loft/entertainment area (four twin beds), with TV/VCR/DVD. There is also a sizable collection of books, movies, games, puzzles, and a stereo system all there for your enjoyment.

Cook all your favorite foods in the completely outfitted kitchen, while you look out the window at the ocean. Dine in and entertain in the huge, open living/ dining room. Watch t.v on the flat screen TV, while calming on the couch.

Step out on the deck the take in the charming vistas of the beach from both directions. If you watch carefully, you may even catch a glimpse of dolphin swimming by. If the sun gets too hot for you on top, walk downstairs, where you can savor a covered deck that provides tons of shade.

One of my favorite amenities with this home is the beach access. There is a wooden walkway directly across the street that leads you straight to the beach. This is extremely important if you are like me, with five kids and it seems like you bring everything but the kitchen sink with you. We always have so much to carry back and forth, that having the convenience of the beach access is priceless.

Finally, after a fun-filled day on the beach, put the kids to bed and walk back out onto the deck. Sit back and look at the moon as it shines over the ocean. This view will just put an exclamation point on your day. Get a good nighttime sleep and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

I hope after reading this, you are excited about visiting with us. We look forward to making our 'Little Piece of Heaven', heaven for you and your family too. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments or concerns that you might have.

Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Finding the best rental:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Beach Retreat West - Save 25% now through March 31st - Contact Owner for Details has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
