• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!!
Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great for kids and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other homes use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).

• NO CHARGE for 'HOST FEE': Unlike the majority of Homeowners, we do NOT charge this ($150 to $450) fee! (Not to be confused with Vacation Rental By Owner Fee)

• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550…because MOST homes in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!)
(Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ PRICES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, shift your family's Morehead City vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• 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 whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. OCEANFRONT with LARGEST POOL at LOWEST RATE in EMERALD ISLE,PLUS FREE POOL HEAT has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. 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 resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
