DESCRIPTION:
As you walk into the entryway you feel instantly at home. While both the formal dining area and living rooms are separate from the kitchen the space still feels open and inviting. The sky high ceilings of the living area offer beautiful light throughout the day while the decor helps keep the feeling comfortable. The kitchen offers upgraded appliances and all of the cookware needed to create your favorite meals. If you include the breakfast nook and dining table seats you will have enough for a group of 12 but there are also seats along the bar.

The primary bedroom is just off the living room and comfortably offers a king bed and private bathroom. The bedroom is filled with light and space and the theme continues into the stately bath… there is a soaking tub, standing shower and a double vanity. Through the bathroom you will find a door to the laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer. Privacy isn’t an issue as the laundry has access from the common area of the home as well.

Heading up the winding staircase to the open balcony type hall you will effortlessly find both of the other guest rooms both with Queen beds and private baths.

Down the stairwell from the kitchen area is where all of the fun can happen- there is another guest room with 2 twin beds and private bath as well as a recreation room with 2 twin/twin bunk beds. Also on this level you will be able to access the 2nd refrigerator, garage for the golf cart, and another entrance to the hot tub and grilling area.

The screened in and wrap around porches are purposely furnished with tables and rockers for guest use. They are all conveniently accessible through the many doors throughout the main level of the home. The parking is ample as you have access to a circle driveway as well as one behind the home.

All of your beds are made prior to arrival with freshly laundered linens, including the comforters, and are included with a full week’s stay.
The location of this home is within the handsome, private and gated community of Dolphin’s Ridge. The beach access is located at the split of Dolphin Ridge Road and Sandy Court which is where you will be able to leave your cart for a day at the beach. The walk to the beach is roughly less than a 5 min. walk as you are just around the corner from the access.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Emerald Isle rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oceanside Interior Home with Private Pool, Hot tub, Golf Cart, in Dolphin Ridge has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Morehead City beach you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often 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?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
