Get away from it all and relax in our 4 bedroom/3 bath beach home in Emerald Isle!
This bright and inviting home is located in a cul-de-sac on the sound side of Emerald Isle, NC and only a 5 min. walk from the beach! With plenty of space on 3 floors, 2 decks and a shaded patio area you'll be on "Island time" before you know it!

The space:

This 3 level home has a living area, 2 bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room on the ground floor; the main floor has a striking and roomy kitchen, living area, bedroom, and a full bath. The top floor features a sizable bedroom, full bath and sitting area as well as a modest balcony.

Guest access:

You'll have access to the entire home and there's also a dock out back on the canal great for setting off on kayaking or SUP adventures! Be mindful of the water levels at the dock, which rise and fall with the tide. At times, it is too low to put in crafts for paddling and always too shallow for a motorboat.

There's a intelligent TV on the lower level and in the top floor bedroom with WiFi so you'll be able to sign into your own streaming service apps! There are plenty of games and puzzles for rainy days as well as a selection of paperbacks to get lost in!

Important things to note:
-There is parking for a max. of 4 cars (2 on each side). Our home and driveways are on a hill, so please be sure to review the parking instructions. Unfortunately, we can not accommodate parking for boat trailers and the canal behind our home is too shallow for motorboats.

-Absolutely no family pets, events, or smoking allowed!

Our top Crystal Coast rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Crystal Coast area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Beautiful Sound Side View has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
