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 roomy entry area, well-outfitted 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 elegant 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 lavish 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 included 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 impressive 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!

Tips to get the best Beaufort, NC rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the largest rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Peaceful Emerald Isle Beach House • New Heated Pool • King Suite • Walk 2 Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
