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 6 cars in the driveway.

Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are visitors and full-time residents 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 comfortable accommodations. We sincerely hope you adore and enjoy being here as much as we do!

Rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Morehead City area. To find the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the 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.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Emerald Isle Escape - New, Completely Renovated Oceanfront Duplex has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Morehead City destination you love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
