Welcome to Beach Retreat West. This 2nd row duplex has it all. Savor great ocean and sound vistas without the oceanfront rental prices. This home is in superb 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 entirely supplied 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 handsome 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 appreciate 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.

Crystal Coast rental home booking tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

• To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Crystal Coast attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine 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 local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms 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. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Crystal Coast beach you love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
