The home is currently offered as a single family rental. Originally set up as duplex, a doorway INSIDE the home between the living rooms separates or connects the two sides. This accepts you to savor and share your space, but also gives you the convenience and separation should you choose!
(TWO kitchens, TWO Living spaces!)

The layout includes two identical sides. This means there are two completely outfitted kitchens (one on each side), and two family rooms (one on each side), with a doorway connecting the two sides that is accessible from inside the home.

The home was updated in 2022 to include brand new kitchen cabinets and countertops, new floors through the home, new paint, and a brand new master bathroom on both East and West sides spring 2023. New decking and new roof! The home feels brand new.

Each master bedroom has a king bed, and its own, striking, sizable private oceanfront covered balcony overlooking the pool and beach, with unobstructed vistas of the ocean. Each master bedroom has a brand new master bathroom put in the spring of 2023 with walk in shower, toilet, and single vanity.

Overall, EACH side hosts:

An OCEAN FRONT Master bedroom on the top floor, with private roomy balcony overlooking the pool and direct ocean vistas.
A second bedroom upstairs with two sets of twin bunk beds (4 twin beds total)
A third bedroom upstairs with queen bed.
A play area/ lounge room with daybed (floor space here will fit a standard size pack-n-play).

Emerald Isle rental booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Crystal Coast rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Crystal Coast vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Sandlot- OCEANFRONT House w\/ Pool & Hot Tub, Amazing views. Beach access. has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.

Considerations for your stay:

• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
