Emerald Isle Escape is the west side of the duplex only. It was completely gutted and modernized inside and out including the front porch and boardwalk to the beach in 2024, and we have done our best to make it as nice and comfortable for your vacation home as possible. We even added an additional water heater so when everybody heads off the beach at the same time to grab dinner at a local favorite, you shouldn't run out of hot water! Every room has a ceiling fan and Intelligent TV, and all three floors have separate A/C controls. All bed linens including the comforters, shams, and throw pillows will be freshly laundered after each stay. Besides being just steps from the ocean and uncrowded beach, the location of Emerald Isle Escape is great because as soon as you come off the EI bridge onto the island, you get into the right lane out of traffic, turn at the very first light, and are here in just a few mins.. You should be able to park 7 cars in the driveway on our side of the duplex.

Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are full-time residents and other visitors around this rental. You should relax, let loose, and have a great time on vacation, but this is not a event home. Please enjoy yourself as we always have when we are on vacation, but be mindful that reckless or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated. We hope you will make Emerald Isle Escape your vacation home and that it will be everything you want it to be with a pristine beach, warm sun, soft waves, a light breeze, and cozy accommodations. We sincerely hope you appreciate and enjoy being here as much as we do!

Getting the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve 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 property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book a perfectvacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Escape - New, Completely Renovated Oceanfront Duplex has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If not, email the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
