Our condo:
Pebble Beach is a gated, oceanfront community located on the Crystal Coast, at the southern end of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Emerald Isle was rated the best beach in NC by USA Today. Our condo, D-101, is a corner, first floor unit, which is clean, generously maintained and equipped, and newly modernized. We have comfortable furnishings, two balconies, only a few steps to the ocean front pool, and only a few steps to the beach!

The price is lower than nearly any other comparable unit, since, being a first floor unit, the view of the ocean is limited--though the walk to the ocean is one of the shortest in the entire complex.

We have local cleaners, maintenance people, and backup maintenance people to be available for any issues or emergencies. The owners' phone numbers are posted inside and we encourage our guests to call for any problems. We have keyless entry so you can go directly to the condo without waiting in line at the rental management company. And, upon departure, you don't have to go back to the management company to check out!

The condo was newly refreshed with new floor throughout. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances and bar seating for four. Dining room seats six. Both bathrooms updated with complete remodel in past year.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a firm, 12" memory foam bed, an oceanfront and pool-front balcony, and its own full bath. Bedroom 2 has two twins and a balcony, and bedroom 3 has a queen sized bed and a balcony. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a full bath.

Linens and towels are supplied. We provide a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bag, and dish soap, but you will probably need to purchase more.

Conveniences:
Pebble Beach has an ocean front pool, a second outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and an exercise gym.

We have an ocean front gazebo, multiple grilles and picnic areas, multiple grassy play areas, two lighted tennis courts, a gated entry with guard home and on-site security personnel, and impeccable landscaping. We have an oceanfront clubhouse which is available for meetings, get-togethers, weddings, and other gatherings.

Biking:
We have an 11 mile long, paved, dedicated bicycle and walking path, separated from the highway. Bicycle units are available across the street from the condo and the complex has multiple bicycle racks.

Kayaking, Fishing, Boating:
There are multiple kayak launch areas and parks within the city limits of Emerald Isle, including a sound front park with dock less than one mile away. There is enchanting surf fishing right in front of Pebble Beach, and a great pier with legendary fishing and a highly rated restaurant overlooking the ocean one mile away. For those who savor boating and fishing, there is boat trailer parking close by for a modest fee. There is a full service marina roughly 10 mins. away, where a wet boat slip on Bogue Sound can be rented by the day or week. There are two complimentary, public boat ramps on Bogue Sound, within a 10 min. drive, offering convenient access to Bogue Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. It is about a 10 min. boat ride to the ocean from the marina and from the two public ramps.

Our top Crystal Coast vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline 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 when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Emerald Isle Oceanfront Condo at Pebble Beach. 3BR, 2BA. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
