New 2024 SEASON .....8 in BLACKSTONE GRIDDLE. Upper level carpet is now gone. The home, if possible, feels even more open with the NEW LUXURY VINYL FLOORS and new AREA RUGS. Savor the most elegant beach on the East Coast from this serene light-filled oceanfront home. The clean design and incredible open floor plan make it the ideal place to bring family and friends, with the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard. Due to the unusual orientation of Bogue Bank, you can watch the sun rise AND set from the dramatic deck of this midcentury modern home.
Simple pleasures for all ages abound: long morning walks, body surfing, world class shell collecting, watching porpoises play from the deck, sunbathing and just getting lost in a good book. Food even tastes better on the screened porch! Serve up a casual seafood supper on the breezy screened porch as the sun begins to set.
OUTDOOR- PRIVATE HOT-COLD SHOWER that is a MUST experience!

There are only ten steps to the beach from the lower level.
The home is located in a sleepy beachside community. The nearest major attraction is the magnificent North Carolina Aquarium less than five mins. away. Enjoyable eateries are within a ten-min. drive.
This midcentury modern home was constructed in the late 1970's and has remained in our family. It has been appreciated by four generations.

Strategies to get the best rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best rental in Pine Knoll Shores:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Ocean Front Emerald Isle - Pine knoll Shores - PET FRIENDLY has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is best for your group.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
