The Swindell Family is happy to host you on the West side of our ocean front duplex. Renting this side accepts access to four bedrooms (king or queen bed in each), four bathrooms all with tub/shower combos, and a top floor media room that has additional twin beds (4 total). The top floor room, which we call the Crow’s Nest, has a sizable TV, movie style seating, four trundle twin beds and FANTASTIC sweeping vistas of the coast. There are two decks, upper and lower. If you’re looking for tons of sun, vistas, and some tanning potential, the upper deck is your spot! The lower deck is for the low key vacationer, it is shady and peaceful.

Please note: there are tons of stairs in this home, the entryway landing is on the ground floor, first set of bedrooms on the second, the kitchen and dining on the third, and lastly the Crow’s Nest is up on the fourth level.

The kitchen is completely equipped (including Jenn-Air range, microwave, toaster, toaster-oven, coffee maker, blender, slow cooker, ice maker, a shrimp steamer, tons of specialty cookware and good kitchen knives). The inside dining tables seat ten, in addition to the four stools at the breakfast bar, and we provide an ample number of table settings in case guests drop in.

There are four two-person bedrooms (two of them with king beds and two with queens — two are oceanfront, and two have nice ocean vistas). Each bedroom has its own full bath en suite and direct access to an oceanfront deck. The huge Crow's Nest has four more single beds, and accesses one of the en suite bathrooms (one floor down) directly through a separate door, without having to go through the attached bedroom.

For the whole family, there are many other services and activities within simple walking distance: Bogue Inlet Pier, the Food Lion and Publix grocery stores, the ABC store, a coffee shop, a hardware store with fishing supplies and beach equipment, eateries, a movie theater, surf stores, and many specialty stores.

Tips to get the perfect Morehead City vacation home experience:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to book:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between 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 rental Search:

• Start by having your family agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Beautiful Views of Ocean- BEACHFRONT- Large Family House- WEST has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
