Welcome to "Finest Life". See our 100+ five star reviews on Vacation Rental By Owner over 10 years. Most of our bookings are return guests - that tells you everything you need to know. This is a very clean, well maintained and entirely furnished OCEAN FRONT home - not a condo - in beautiful Emerald Isle, NC. It has a full-on ocean view from the deck, bedrooms and the living room, not partial vistas and not over the street or rooftops. It is half of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not a rental; it is someone's rarely used second home, so you will not have any crazy or noisy neighbors, events or big groups next door. The kitchen and baths were completely modernized in 2023; see photos! You''re likely to see dolphins frolicking in the ocean. Unlike staying in a condo complex, you'll have privacy and no worries about noise, sharing the deck or annoying neighbors. No dogs. Ideal for families with kids. The home is close to a lifeguard station on the beach.
There is a gentle set of stairs from deck to beach, not the 50 or 60 steps to get to the homes that sit high up on the dunes. The home has everything you'll need and the kitchen is completely equipped (even a spare blender, coffee maker & toaster). There is a Kuerig coffee machine with pot and pod capability. We provide starter supplies upon your arrival (soap, paper towels, t.p.). ALL of the linens in the home is newer premium gel memory foam 12" beds with thick zippered bed-sacks.
This home is an magnificant value and has everything you'll need for a restful anxiety-complimentary vacation at the beach. The manager is local and the owner is always available. Note the constructed-in benches on the deck near the ocean. The bathrooms have pretty tile - not cheap fibreglass! The sliding doors are new (2024) peaceful simple to use and lock Pella units. As you can see from all of our photos, we strive to make this a comfortable and gorgeously 'beachy' home. Among the features of this property are Spectrum cable, STRONG wireless internet (to the deck +), newer central air unit, ceiling fans in every room, 4 flat-screen HD-TV's (55" in living room and 40" in 3 bedrooms with Roku access to premium channels), and bespoke hand-painted tropical murals in each bedroom. It's NOT cheap thin, uncomfortable rattan / boxy / IKEA furnishings, nor is it used furnishings from Grandma's home. We want you to relax and be cozy! Telephone owner AL directly at nine seven three four seven six eight one nine one with any questions.

There are 2 ocean-front master bedrooms (1 K & 1 Q) and 2 bedrooms street side (partial Sound view) with doubles and singles. There are 2 full tiled baths and a phenomenal outdoor enclosed over-sized locking private shower that was remodeled in 2024 with hot and cold water and a dressing area. (Great for kids or a fast exhilarating rinse after coming off the beach.) The deck has a convenient hose for sandy feet.
There are lifeguards on the beach within sight just a short walk away (April - Sept.). This home is ON THE BEACH with the same ocean, vistas, and ease of access as the mansions that cost 3 or 4 times as much. We provide beach chairs, beach umbrella, toys, as well as beach games. We appreciate your inquiry for any questions and thank you for your time and for considering "Best Life"! E-mail or call if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best wishes for a great Emerald Isle vacation!

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. 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 sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Beaufort, NC area:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Ocean-front 4-bed house @ condo cost. Step off deck to beach. Brand new kitchen! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC attraction you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix 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.
