From the moment you arrive at this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home it immediately evokes memories of the beautiful original beach cottages of Emerald Isle.

Books, games, TVs with cable, Roku, and a DVD player mean that even rainy days at the beach can be entertaining here!

The Point is the area at the end of Coast Guard Rd. known for its peaceful and family friendly/ neighborhood feel. Since the beach faces south, there is plenty of sun all day and you can watch the sunset over the water at Bogue Inlet in the evening!

Getting the best Morehead City vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, change your family's Morehead City vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... 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 out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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 you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
