About this Property

• Sleeps 12
• 5 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms

This 2nd row beauty has it all! Great OCEAN VIEWS without the oceanfront rental prices (and it's CLEAN)! Beach access is simple and fast, right across the street. Over 2,000 square feet, on a peaceful, non-busy street with a view of the ocean or Bogue sound from every single window in the home! Make this your 2nd home for a week (or two) and you'll never want to leave.

We want your family & friends to have a great experience and forget all of their worries while making great memories that will last a lifetime. Sound too good to be true or too much like a Hallmark card? Well we aren't kidding!

Wake up every morning and walk directly out of your bedroom onto the deck and breathe in Emerald Isle's salty air. Hear the waves crashing on the beach. House has 4 bedrooms with two King beds and two Queen beds (all with deck/balcony access) plus a kids' loft/entertainment area on the 4th level with 4 twin beds. In the den you can even watch TV, look to your left and see the ocean... of course, that's just from the inside, wait until you step out onto the decks!

Beach access is literally steps away across the street with a wooden walkway leading directly to the surf. Families with young kids will savor this convenience by not having to walk far with all your beach supplies and stuff! You also have the convenience of our exhilarating outdoor shower with hot/cold water to wash off the beach sand and lotion.

Cook all of your favorite 'beach foods' in our entirely equipped kitchen while looking at the emerald blue ocean. Then dine and entertain inside with family & friends while appreciating the great ocean vistas from the enormous eating area, or have your meals outside on the upper deck where the view and sounds of the ocean enhance the experience.

Watch schools of dolphins in the morning swim by & flocks of pelicans dive in for a snack in the afternoon. If you need some shade, head down to the lower level deck & relax on one of our lounge or rocking chairs. Of course, the decks have great vistas, but nothing can beat hanging out on the beach & swimming in the ocean. After a long day, appreciate our outdoor shower (w/ hot & cold water) and indulge in some great local seafood at one of many eateries within mins. of the home. After the kids have gone to sleep, sneak back out on the deck and look at the moonlight shine over the water with a glass of your favorite drink. Get the best sleep of your life (as long as you put on plenty of sunscreen) and wake up ready to do it all over again!

I hope some of these words have captured just a modest picture of what it is like to vacation at Beach Retreat: East. We have posted tons of photos but nothing compares to actually being here. We really look forward to helping you and your family have an amazing 'Beach Retreat', so please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments or concerns.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the bestrental:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Almost Ocean Front, 2nd Row, Great Ocean Views, Easy Beach Access, Quiet Street 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 sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
