Biking & Walking
Emerald Isle is bicycle-friendly with bicycle paths along the major roads and painless bicycle rental if you cannot bring your own. Bicycle or walk to the Emerald Plantation Shopping or Food Lion each morning to pick up a coffee or a treat. It's less than a mile away. You can walk conveniently to the pier via the beach (about a mile away). Emerald Isle Woods Park is also about a mile away and has a pretty view of the sound.

Family Fun Activities: Right around the corner you'll find
Fun World go-carts & amusements, Salty Pirate waterpark, Emerald Forest Mini-Golf – all very close.
Hot Wax Surf and Paddle Sports Units about half a mile away that has units available.
Golfin’ Dolphin, across the bridge and down Rt 58 ( 3 ½ miles total)
Emerald Isle Woods Park – down Coast Guard Lane – disc golf, woodsy hiking trail, striking sunsets from the intercoastal pier.
Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium is located about 15 miles away

Eateries in the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center:
Burger place (Hwy 55 Burger, Shakes, and Fries)
Pizza place (Michelangelo’s). Saturday nighttime is completely jammed. Telephone far in advance!
American style restaurant (Rucker Johns -everybody can find something here).

Food/Grocery: Food Lion and Publix in the close by (0.6 miles, an 11-min. walk) Emerald Plantation Shopping Center. The prices are reasonable. Note that they are swamped on Saturday when new people arrive. And all those folks can quickly empty the fresh veggies and fruit.
Lowes Foods (3.2 miles, 11 min drive) - A trip across the bridge; usually not necessary. They will shop for you and do delivery, however.
Piggly Wiggly (7 miles and 12 mins. away from the home): A convenient stop on the way in if you are coming in from Jacksonville. If you are coming in on a Saturday or Sunday it'll be much less busy.

Shopping: There is plenty of shopping on Emerald Isle and right at the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center with beach wear, book store, jewelry, movie theater... Not to mention beach “superstores” like Waves, etc.

Closest drug store: CVS Pharmacy - Photo too (1.1 miles, 3 min drive)

Check-in/check-out: Standard Check-In time is 4 pm and check-out time is 10 am.

Beach Towels: Please bring beach towels. There isn't time to turn around the home for the next guest and clean beach towels.

Food in the House: We've tried to stock the kitchen with necessary silverware and cookware. If anything is missing, please tell us so we can address the problem. You will also find standard spices, common items (oil), and some standard refrigerator stuff. Thus you will find some items in the refrigerator. These items are left because when we have rented, we have been frustrated that cooking is hard without them and we end up doing additional runs to the grocery store. Please feel complimentary to use anything you find. If you have food you don't want to bring home and won't spoil in the next few weeks, feel complimentary to leave it.

Next Door: Since this is a duplex we ask that folks be respectful of the families that are renting the other side of the home and our co-owner expects the same of their families.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Morehead City rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean View -2 balconies! Easy Walk to Beach, Great for Families, Instant Book has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
