The Sailfish - Striking Emerald Isle, NC;

The Sailfish is a private beach home for rent in Emerald Isle, NC, at the beginning of the Crystal Shores of the NC Outer Banks. The beaches on Emerald Isle are enchanting white sand, great for swimming and fishing. No hotels or commercial activity on the beach makes this an unspoiled, family-aligned place to appreciate the beach. We rent the Sailfish only to family groups of up to 14 persons. Our home sits on the 2nd row, right across the street from beachfront. Walk down our walkway and cross the modest street to the public beach access right in front of the home. If you want to go clamming in the sound, just walk down our driveway and cross the street in the other direction, to reach the sound.
The Sailfish is completely air conditioned, has two floors, ocean vistas from each floor, and 7 comfortable bedrooms. Two rooms dedicated to play: the upstairs sunroom with game tables, and the downstairs rec room with ping pong table. Our parents constructed this delightful sizable space so that our family could vacation together. We hope you will savor it as much as we still do!
Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and two full baths that interconnect between bedrooms. Two ocean-view bedrooms have 1 queen bed each. Two other bedrooms each have 2 double beds. The huge, airy living room has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans. Giant dining table with seating up to 12 persons. Totally equipped kitchen. Cavernous sunroom with two tables, ideal for games, working remotely, or additional seating for dining. We keep an assortment of games, puzzles and books in the sunroom, available for guests to enjoy. Or you can sit on the deck/balcony on the upper floor with a cool drink after a day at the beach.
Downstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One queen bedroom has ocean view, one bedroom with double bed and desk set-up that is great for working remotely, and one bedroom with 2 twin beds. Also downstairs is our rec room, with full size ping pong table, and sitting area with cable tv. Kitchenette downstairs as well, with full size refrigerator/ freezer (great to have with a huge family!), microwave and modest dishwasher.

Tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. \"The Sailfish\" - 2nd row to the ocean available in 2025, book now! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 group have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
