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 gorgeous 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 calming 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 amazing vistas. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the striking beaches are never busy.

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

Strategies to get the perfect Beaufort, NC vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the right Beaufort, NC rental home:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Duplex with Gorgeous Views has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
