MAIN FLOORING LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a magnificent open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a comfortable deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ Pool and enormous Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a giant walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is completely outfitted with every known kitchen appliance, plus all the pet perks your dog could want.

The Kitchen itself features Kitchen Aid and Fisher Paykel, along with a chic gas range, a wine refrigerator and more, so every meal here, big or modest, will feel like gourmet magazine come to life!

The Bar, whether for coffees or beverages, is ideally supplied with plenty of bar tools, glasses and all the ways to brew the ideal cup of 4 J’s (our local favorite) coffee! And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great ambiance whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic Beach Boys tunes.

“Sarah has done an impressive job of stocking the home with just about everything you need for the week. We felt right at home at “Seaborne” and would gladly return for another vacation.” – James S.

The Carport has its own freshly added Half Bath and huge Outdoor Shower, so it’s simple to come in off the beach or step out of the pool without having to head upstairs. There’s also plenty of gear, from beach chairs to soft top surfboards, so you can load up the golf cart with your group to catch some waves or just sink your toes into the sand!

Seaborne definitely has something for everybody, especially bicycles - the locals’ favorite means of transportation, so you too can savor all the bicycle paths that start just off our cul-de-sac and ride to town or take in a sunset.

Finding the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Emerald Isle rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Morehead City area. To find the best rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Morehead City restaurants and activities.
• In the Morehead City area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine 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 articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. NEW Luxe Oceanside Beach Retreat wHeated Pool, Spa, Golf Cart, 2min Walk 2 Beach has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Morehead City attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets 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 wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
