Accommodations: Oceanfront Duplex with 4 Bedrooms, 3 BA,(one en suite). Sleeps 10 per side. New photos coming soon with updates that have already been finished.

Escape to my economical oceanfront duplex that has striking oceanfront vistas. Since I became sole owner of the East side of my duplex I have been doing updates every year. I have had nearly the entire duplex painted from a tired yellow to relaxing blue tones. I have put in new appliances, furnishings, granite counter tops, resurfaced the tubs, put in a kitchen tiled backsplash, added LED lighting in the kitchen and under the countertops, changed out light fixtures in bathrooms, put in new vanities, put in a new air compressor, and many other updates. This year I am hoping to add on another bathroom so that it will be 4 bedroom 4 bathroom duplex. Awaiting bids right now and hope to start remodeling in January.

The home has a bright, airy, bungalow feel and is a ideal place to relax. Admire the view from the inside or step outside onto the covered porch to catch an oceanfront breeze sitting in one of the 4 rocking chairs on the deck. There is also a dune landing steps from the beach with a bench and more magnificant vistas. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the gorgeous beaches are never busy.

Conveniences also include hi-speed wireless service, outdoor shower and washer/dryer.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your family's Beaufort, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Duplex with Gorgeous Views has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, NC destination you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
