The well-lit master bathroom has an upsized, single-bowl sink with plenty of storage and an additional shelving area to the left of the shower for towels and extras. The shower has two glass shelves for your supplies and a handheld showerhead.

The oceanfront queen bedroom on this floor has a queen-size storage bed, two bedside tables, a tall, narrow chest of drawers, and a Intelligent TV. There is room in the closet to store your suitcases but no hanging area because it's under the stairs. The slider in this room leads to the deck with outside seating and is shared with the master. The double bunk bedroom on this floor is ideal for families or additional guests; it is located on the roadside of the home and has a huge chest of drawers, a bedside table, a Intelligent TV, and a closet. There is also a pack-n-play in the closet.

The second bathroom on this floor for the queen and bunk rooms is well-lit and has some storage space to the right of the shower and under the vanity. It has a handheld showerhead and a curtain instead of a shower door to accommodate giving kids baths. The laundry area has a huge capacity washer and dryer. There are some laundry baskets, a Shark vacuum, a mop/broom, and an iron and ironing board if needed.

Up the stairs to the third floor, you'll find an open floor plan with the main living area, a dining area, a completely equipped kitchen, a queen bedroom, and a bathroom with a sizable, tiled shower. Appreciate ocean vistas from the couches, dining, or kitchen, or open the slider and step out onto the deck to feel the breeze while you relax. There’s an outside table with four Adirondack chairs and two additional bar-height Adirondack chairs to enjoy the outdoor space.

The living room area has seating for 12 with two upsized couches, two upsized chairs with sizable ottomans, an adjustable height coffee table, three end tables, and a 65" Intelligent TV with surround sound. The furnishings is really comfortable, and it’s a big enough space to hang out when you’re in from the beach.

The dining table is bar height and seats 6. The upsized bar has seating for 4 more and a lot of serving or workspace. The kitchen is entirely equipped with serve and cookware and has a Keurig, blender, griddle, and toaster oven combo & toaster in addition to the new frig/freezer with water and ice maker, sink disposal, dishwasher, microwave, and cooktop/oven. The kitchen has plenty of storage, and there's also a modest pantry closet right off the kitchen.

The queen bedroom on this floor has a queen storage bed, a chest of drawers, a bedside table, a closet, and a Intelligent TV. It does not have an ocean view, but it's the only bedroom on this floor and will use the bathroom with the biggest shower. The bathroom on this floor has a enormous tiled shower with seating and two shelves.

Back down to the first floor, you'll find a large master suite with a living area and a full bath with shower. You do have to go outside of the home to get to this room, but it is a nice, big room. Inside this separate entrance master suite, there's a king-size storage bed, a large dresser with a mirror, and two bedside tables, but it does not have a closet. There's also a comfortable sectional that pulls out into a full-size bed, a coffee table, and a 55" Intelligent TV. The bathroom for this suite has a shower with a modest seat and a handheld showerhead. This suite is ideal for when couples and families vacation together since it adds an additional inside living area and privacy. This suite has a private patio by the dunes with seating for two and a hammock, and the outside shower for the home is located to the right on the side of the home. The outside shower has hot and cold water, a rain head, a regular head, a foot wash, and a hose connection to wash you and your beach gear off.

Emerald Isle Escape is the west side of the duplex only. It was completely gutted and modernized inside and out including the front porch and boardwalk to the beach in 2024, and we have done our best to make it as nice and comfortable for your vacation home as possible. We even added an additional water heater so when everybody heads off the beach at the same time to grab dinner at a local favorite, you shouldn't run out of hot water! Every room has a ceiling fan and Intelligent TV, and all three floors have separate A/C controls. 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 7 cars in the driveway on our side of the duplex.

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

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Morehead City rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Morehead City restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect rental home in the Morehead City area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Emerald Isle Escape - New, Completely Renovated Oceanfront Duplex has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Morehead City destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
