If you're looking for convenience to the beach, water vistas, direct water access, a hot tub, outdoor shower, and loads privacy in a well-appointed beach home, Angels Landing is your kind of place! And, if you have a well-behaved and clean four-legged friend (or two) who you’d really like to savor your vacation with, we’ll allow them, too! Emerald Isle is dog friendly; they’re even allowed on the beach year-round and at nearly all outdoor eateries! If we approve your dog(s) to stay, our pet fee is $35/nighttime for the first dog and $15/nighttime for a second (the second pet fee will be invoiced separately from your initial Vacation Rental By Owner booking). This is much less expensive and much more fun than boarding your best friends!

Our well maintained and appreciated bungalow rests on a one-lane, tree-lined street that dead ends at a court overlooking the handsome Bogue Sound. The Sound is also partly visible from the bungalow's front yard and living room. The bungalow's driveway is right off the court and has ample private parking.

Beach fans will appreciate how convenient the sand and warm ocean waters are from Angels Landing. Two different beach access points are a short walk. The beach is such a short distance that it won’t be a problem to dash home for lunch, supplies, and naps, or to head back to the beach in the evening to witness sunsets that will take your breath away (see our photos for an example). Our south-facing beach has striking sunsets and features warm waters during an extended May through October/November swim season. We provide beach chairs, a beach cart, a Shabumi beach shade, body boards, a skim board, and some other beach toys and games to savor (like Can Jam, a Frisbee, bocce ball, etc.). And, you'll always have plenty of space to spread out on the beach even during the busiest summer days because there is not public parking where our home's access points are!

When you come home from the beach, you'll appreciate the huge outdoor shower that has hot water and vistas of the Live Oak trees and canal. The separate, enormous changing area makes for added convenience.

Our home features a humongous, 20x25 foot deck that includes a 6-person hot tub! An outdoor dining table is the ideal place for appreciating meals outside, and the soft lighting that we provide creates a great space for continuing the conversation and fun outside after the sun sets. The deck overlooks a back yard that is full of mature, Live Oak trees, and a canal with a private dock. The deck is completely private -- your neighbors and you won't be looking at each other! The view from the deck also is spectacular on clear nights. The lack of light pollution at this part of the island makes for a spectacular nighttime sky.

The canal out back leads out to the Bogue Sound and is extremely relaxing. Our private dock has Adirondack chairs in the shade - ideal for reading a book or simply having a drink while you watch and listen to the birds go about their day. Launch our two kayaks or an adult-sized paddle board (life vests also supplied) from the dock or from a water's edge spot that's also on our property. The Bogue Sound is known for great fishing, oysters, and other wildlife, and has tons of islands to discover that you can only access via kayak.

The huge yard features mature Live Oak trees in an undisturbed setting, providing shade, privacy, and a home to native birds. They'll sing as you sip your coffee on the deck or the dock. It is impossible to describe the tranquility and tranquility of the time spent in this setting or the calming feeling of resting in the hammock as a light breeze rustles the tree leaves.

Inside, the well-equipped kitchen includes various gadgets that cooks will appreciate, a full-sized microwave and dishwasher, a Keurig machine, a Nespresso Vertuo machine, a standard coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, blender, air fryer, hand held and full-sized blenders, and various other tools of the trade, along with a sizable collection of spices. Tired of vacation homes with nasty old pots worn out Teflon pans? Not here! Dull knives? Nope! Not enough silverware, grille tools, measuring spoons and cups, serving dishes, and the like? Not here! We also provide a gas grille with ample gas and grilling silverware. The indoor dining area seats six and overlooks the deck through a sizable sliding door.

The family room has tons seating so for gathering comfortably. Savor conversation, games (we provide many!), the 65-inch QLED HDTV with a subscription to YouTube TV (like cable, but better!). All TVs are intelligent or Roku-enabled so that you can log into streaming services from every room. Appreciate the high-speed, wireless, encrypted internet access powered by a Wi-Fi 6 router. Working remotely, even on a VPN, and video calls are no problem at all. We also provide a peaceful, comfortable desk work space with an additional LCD screen in one of the upstairs bedrooms, should you need to participate in a virtual meeting. Familiar with Sonos? If not, you should be! We offer Sonos speakers in various rooms so that you can connect with the Sonos app. and stream tunes throughout the home. Great tunes are a must on vacation!

Angels Landing offers three nice-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom is on the ground level and features a king bed with a comfortable, high-end hybrid bed and a huge HDTV. The primary bedroom has its own bathroom with a sizable, low step-in shower and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, the two enormous bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with a full tub and shower. The first upstairs room has a queen bed, a huge HDTV, and a private walk-in closet. The second upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bunk bed, plus another HDTV. There's even a second upstairs walk-in closet adjoining the upstairs bath that has games and other toys that you'll be complimentary to enjoy. We don't have old, cheap rental beds, either. You'll see many reviewers comment about how cozy the beds are. We even provide a large assortment of pillows for varying preferences.

Bed linens and bath towels are included, and all beds will be made when you arrive (who wants to arrive at a vacation home and start making beds?!). Ceiling fans in every bedroom provide additional comfort, and we also provide a large selection of pillows of different thicknesses and types from which to choose.

Like to discover, shop, or go out to eat? You’ll adore Emerald Isle and how close our home is to all of its great amenities! It’s an ideal beach town with many locally-owned eateries and seafood markets, stores, grocery stores, a movie theater, massage and nail salons, and other fun places to discover. The island offers a fishing pier, tennis courts, playgrounds, a wide bicycle path, and an economical water park that’s ideal for kids. The bridge to the mainland and all it has to offer is only 3 miles from the bungalow. We’ll have recommendations and resources for you to read about and access when you arrive and will provide some other useful info ahead of time, after you book. Angels Landing is ideally located because you get peace and peaceful when you want but is also close to the island’s stores and the mainland. You'll also be a convenient drive from tons of close by towns to discover: Swansboro, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Beaufort (pronounced “Boh-Fert”).

We want you to enjoy our home as much as we do and thank you in advance for considering the bungalow and taking care of it with the kind of appreciate that we do. We respond quickly to your questions and requests and our property manager is incredibly kind and lives right down the street (and we appreciate supporting him because he's retired military). The check-in process and staying in a vacation home shouldn't bring additional anxiety to your life, and we do our absolute best to make sure it won’t!

Although we enjoy all of the great reviews of our home, we don't let them lure us into complacency. We are always looking for ways to improve and make our property something special to experience.

Emerald Isle rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Morehead City restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in the Morehead City area:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Angels Landing: Close to Beach, Huge Deck, Hot Tub, Canal, Kayaks, Well-Stocked! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
