About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

This place is especially designed for the beach feels, and to really appreciate : a siesta for sure! Some of our favorite things are the patio for gorgeous sunrises and coffee time, the striking vistas even inside the condo, the painless access (walk or bicycle) to EI stores and eateries, and of course, a very fast walk to the pretty beach! The pool is freshly refreshed with lounge chairs and tables/chairs on the deck. We've set up the condo to be comfortable and have some nice amenities, including wooden colonial-style shutters, swivel bar stools, laundry/pantry right off the kitchen, well supplied kitchen, keyless entry, and more.

The covered front entrance has room for all your beach gear (chairs, boards, beach toys). Bicycle racks are below on ground level. When you come into the condo, you'll have the 1st bedroom— with a queen bed, tv (dvd only), and an attached full-sized bath with hall access. The kitchen has all your cooking and dining needs, including a 4-seater table and a bar with 3 swivel stools. Off the kitchen is the "lantry"--laundry/pantry room, with shelves, microwave, and full-size washer/dryer. The living room overlooks the ocean, and has a SMART TV with cable access. The 2nd bedroom is very roomy, and includes 2 double beds, a chair and ottoman, a tv (dvd only) and enormous mirrored dresser. This bedroom has a private attached full bathroom.
The patio provides handsome ocean vistas with the polywood high top table and adirondack high top chairs.

This condo is in Queen's Court. It's not a high-rise (only 3 units tall), with elevators, and has 4 buildings. We are in the 2nd building (1 row back from ocean front), but the angle of the condos makes you have a very nearly oceanfront view and experience. The walk to the ocean is about 2 mins. from door to sand. The condo is well-kept and in a great community. Many of our neighbors live here full-time. There is not a lot of rental traffic through here, making for peaceful, calming hideaway.

Crystal Coast vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• 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 families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas 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 management company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean Views & Well-Equipped condo, in the Heart of Emerald Isle has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review 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.
