As you pull into the driveway, the beauty of this impeccably well-kept classic beach bungalow will immediately impress you. Before you climb the deck stairs to the main level, do yourself a favor and stop for a moment to take in the opulent, heated pool. When you eventually enter the home, you will be greeted by a cavernous entry area, well-supplied kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances to your left, and the open dining room straight ahead leading into a comfortable living area with a intelligent tv and cozy couch bed. Just off of the living room is a opulent master suite equipped with an charming king-size bed and en suite bath. If you instead pass through the kitchen, you will encounter a cozy hallway leading to a second bedroom with a queen-size bed, the laundry room with washer and dryer, and a second private bath.

Walk up the stairs, and you will come to two additional bedrooms and a third full bathroom. To your left is a comfortable bedroom with a full-size bed, private balcony, and a grand view of the sand dunes that rest between the neighborhood and the beach. Leave your windows open at nighttime and fall asleep to the sounds of the crashing waves! On the other end of the upstairs is a cheerful bedroom with two twin beds that are ideal for any singles or kids in your group.

Back on the main level, grab your favorite book or drink (or both!) and head for some peaceful time on the screened-in porch, or mosey on down to the backyard for some outdoor games, or grille some juicy steaks or fresh seafood on the charcoal grille.

No matter where you are on the property, the calming ambiance and attention to detail are sure to leave a lasting impression. Don't be surprised when you find yourself already planning next year's return trip!

*ULTRA CLEAN GUARANTEE: We want guests to book with the assurance that the home will be Ultra Clean when they arrive. That's why we offer the Ultra Clean Guarantee. When a guest checks in, we guarantee that the home will be ideally clean to their liking or we will gladly send our cleaning team out to the home to remedy the situation.

*OPTIONAL POOL HEATER: Guests have the OPTION to request that the pool heater be turned on during their stay. Please note that the availability of the pool heater is completely weather dependent. The pool heater is only available when the heater can effectively maintain the pool at a comfortable temperature (minimum water temperature of 80 degrees), which is when air temperatures are consistently at or above roughly 60 degrees (including overnight). Most years, this means that the heater is available from around mid-April until Mid-October (weather dependent). Because use of the pool heater is an optional feature, refunds will not be supplied if the pool heater is unavailable during a Guest’s stay for any reason (e.g., cooler weather, maintenance, etc.).

NOTE ABOUT PARTIES, LARGE GATHERINGS & EXCESSIVE NOISE: Please also note that if you are looking for a location to host a event or loud gathering, this is definitely NOT the place for you. We have an striking association of neighbors who work collectively to maintain the beauty and tranquility of the neighborhood. In an effort to do our part, we have a strict "no events" policy, and the safety and tranquility of our guests and neighborhood are ensured by exterior security cameras and a Minut noise monitoring device that will immediately alert us when excessive noise levels are detected. Any guest who hosts, or attempts to host, an unauthorized gathering will be subject to immediate eviction without refund and a $500 fine (withheld from their security deposit). However, if relaxation, rejuvenation, and quality time with family and friends is what you are looking for, you will not find a more ideal setting in all of Emerald Isle!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To find the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking 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 articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Peaceful Emerald Isle Beach House • New Heated Pool • King Suite • Walk 2 Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
