Only a 5-min. walk to The Point, the Jewel of Emerald Isle and the best stretch of beach on Bogue Banks. 2 outdoor showers, each with a spout to wash off sandy feet, await your return from a long day of fun in the sun. Not feeling the beach today? Hang out at the pool in the backyard instead while something delicious cooks on the poolside grille, or read your favorite book in the sunroom overlooking the Sound. No need to disagree on what to watch, there are 8 Roku HDTVs and complimentary high-speed WiFi (even at the pool!), just log in to your favorite streaming app and go. In the media room, where you’ll find the pull-out couch, the TV has 60 FPS for you gamers. It looks like a long way to the top floor, but that’s what the elevator is for. To cap off each day, proceed to the porch to watch the sun paint its daily masterpiece on the majestic easel of the sky as it sets ablaze the water of Bogue Sound with its long kiss goodnight. Every day ends handsomely at Sunset Key!

Strategies for getting the best Emerald Isle rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. Reserve your Morehead City vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sunsets on the Sound and Poolside Luxury at the Jewel of Emerald Isle! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or may be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. 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 family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
