About this Property

• Private vacation home

After not renting for 2 years while repairing broad water damage, we're excited to be back to help with your vacation plans! Over the next few days we'll be updating our description and posting new photos, so check back regularly!

Welcome to your vacation beach hideaway in the private Spinnaker’s Reach neighborhood! The neighborhood includes a community pool (across from the beach access), as well as community access to Bogue Sound in neighboring Spinnaker’s Landing.

Our home is a third row oceanside duplex with a roomy reverse floor plan that sleeps 11 in 5 bedrooms. The second-floor master suite includes a king bed, private deck access, and a soaking tub with separate shower in the bathroom. Two additional second floor bedrooms include queen beds and share a hall bath. The third-floor guest room on this level also offers a queen bed and a wardrobe in lieu of a closet. On the first floor, you’ll find a game and bunk room that includes a full-twin bunk.

The cavernous third floor is an open floor plan, including the family room, a brightly lit and well-supplied kitchen that includes a granite countertop and a dishwasher (of course…who wants to wash dishes on vacation?), plus access to the top-level deck.

We provide linen service with your stay, including completely made beds; two bath towels per person, plus hand towels and wash cloths; bathmats for all bathrooms; and two kitchen towels.

Our amenities include Wi-Fi connectivity, a gas grille, dumbwaiter, full-size hot tub, hot/cold outdoor shower, full-size washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, as well Roku or Intelligent TVs in 3 bedrooms. The family room includes a huge Intelligent TV and a DVR player, along with an assortment of games and puzzles for rainy days. We also provide a golf cart for your convenience. Please follow posted rules for golf cart use; golf carts are only for neighborhood use, they aren’t allowed on Coast Guard Road.

We welcome your dogs, up to 2 allowed with a $150 non-returnable fee per pet. Emerald Isle accepts dogs on the beach, though they must be on a leash (owner, too!). You’ll find pickup bags at the beach access so you can clean up after your pet and keep our beach clean.

Please note that this is a non-smoking property.

We’ve owned and rented this home since 2013. If you’re familiar with our home, as we update our description and add new photos, you’ll notice multiple improvements for this season. Already complete: we have new decks (Trex), we refreshed the 3rd floor bedroom with an adjustable bed and room darkening curtains, refreshed the primary-master bathroom, replaced TVs in the master-primary bedroom and first floor bedroom, re-upholstered our overstuffed “Monkey Chair” and couch cushions, replaced numerous pillows (every bed has shams as well as cased pillows), and in the kitchen updated our coffee pot (replaced separate Keurig and Mr. Coffee with a single unit that does both) while continuing to refresh pots and pans. And finally, we plan to convert from physical keys to electronic locks by mid-May. We’ll post new photos as we progress.

Disclosure. Not installed yet, but planned by mid-May: we plan to add one exterior security camera and an exterior noise monitoring device; both will be placed in the carport. The camera will face the street, so the coverage area will be the driveway and part of the yard adjacent to the driveway. The noise monitoring device will *not* record conversations; it will only identify excess noise levels to help us resolve potential noise complaints from neighbors. We will NOT place cameras or other surveillance devices on the interior of our home, and we will NOT place any at the back of the home (specifically on the patio with vistas of the hot tub and the outdoor shower). We will protect your privacy.
- Once we install these, we will update with a photo showing the placement of these devices.

How to get the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Book your Beaufort, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Pet Friendly 3rd Row Duplex in Spinnaker's Reach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is best for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
