• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!!
Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great for kids and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other homes use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).

• Lowest-Priced Oceanfront Duplex on Emerald Isle,

• NO CHARGE for 'HOST FEE': Unlike the majority of Homeowners, we do NOT charge this ($150 to $450) fee!

• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550…because MOST homes in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!)
(Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ PRICES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug.

Tricks and tips to get the best Crystal Coast vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To get the best vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 20% DISCOUNT for May!!! OCEANFRONT. LARGEST POOL at LOWEST RATE in EMERALD ISLE. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
