About this Property

Aug 8-15 now available. And Late August and Sept/Oct is still open (including Labor Day week)! Savor gorgeous sea vistas. Elegance and comfort in a beach home with expansive seascape vistas. And we are located well away from the hordes -- often the beach is completely empty in front of the home.

This is a brand new listing, as Susie has just finished the 2-year project to renovate this beach home.

This oceanfront bungalow is thoroughly private. It has been floor-to-ceiling redone with an fresh modern coastal vibe that was designed by Susie to keep all different styles of visitors in mind.

Clean lines and bespoke furnishings let the striking 180-degree sea vistas do all the talking. Two sets of sliding double doors open up to a huge sunbathing outdoor space with plenty of furnishings to appreciate the sea wind (and tan without the sand), while sipping your favorite libation.

Outdoor dining for two is also recommended if you like romance, as you have an unobstructed view of over 2 miles of coastline (great for taking holiday pics).

For your comfort, we boast the shortest walk to the sand you can buy on the island if you feel like walking down to the beach to check on your family. But where Susie's Hideaway West very shines is when you wake up from a holiday siesta to the unbeatable vistas of the sand and sea from our bespoke-made napping couch.

Linens and towels are supplied. Also we are only 5 mins. on a walking path from a wine store, grocery stores, Jackies American Grille and other eateries.

Susie's Hideaway West includes all new kitchen with granite countertops, new appliances, new floor, new linens, ceiling fans, dishwasher, washer/dryer, 4 flat screen TVs, and wireless high-speed Internet access.

Susie's Hideaway is a duplex (with two sides, East and West). This listing is for the West side. It is thoroughly private -- there are no common or shared areas. You will be able to savor the beach in complete privacy. And we are located well away from the hordes -- often the beach is completely empty in front of the home, accepting complete appreciation of the white sandy beaches!

Linens and towels are supplied.

How to get the best deal on your rental

These guides may provide a great start to your rental home search.

• A number of rental companies and owners offer discount rates for active duty and veteran men and women of the Military, or returning individuals of the same rental home. Be sure to check with property management company to see if your vacationing gang qualifies for a reduction.

Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, provides travellers reimbursement of their travel costs for any nights missed as a result of personal health emergencies or storms, and additionally ensuing extra hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, such as an unforeseen hotel room stay or additional fuel.

The Sooner You Begin, The Better The Choices

Morehead City rental properties start booking early. To assure the most desirable selection of properties, we suggest searching and booking your Morehead City getaway Six-Twelve months before your travel dates, whenever possible. Many groups choose to begin their search during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday gatherings.

Find your Area and Establish Dates

Agreement can be tricky among family members, but once this tricky part is finished everything will begin to fall in place.

Just How Many Bedrooms?

Confirm who is going, and just how many/what particular bedroom arrangement you should have. Keep in mind that many rental homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the family room. It is important to determine what is most appropriate for your family. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually accessible online. If not, communicate with the property manager before you book.

Commit to a Spending Limit

Check to make sure "Oceanfront Luxury House with Stunning Views" fits your budget *during your desired week*. Make sure to get cost-sharing commitments from friends and family before reserving a costly rental property. Generally, just one person in the group will be liable for making the complete reservation and getting each family member's contribution.

Rental Home Features

What home features is the family searching for? Do you just desire a property with a swimming pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Would you like to be away from it all, or near a city setting? Are items like beach chairs, gas grills, umbrellas, carts or coolers available and included with your rental home fee? Create a list of priority amenities to facilitate narrow your search.

Accessability

Appropriate accessibility could make or ruin a trip for the less-mobile. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are needed, factor that into your search. The majority of vacation home postings will include a list of amenities.

Have You Considered Furry Family Members?

Make sure to include your furrry friends. Animals are welcome at a number of vacation homes, but policies can vary. Type of pet, size and breeds may be controlled. Read your contract thoroughly! Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your contract.

Where to Search

. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Morehead City local vacation rentals" for local rental home management companies. Local companies often times have an exclusive assortment of rental homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to confirm the rental home has everything required. If something is missing, the rental home management company might know of very similar homes that better suit your wishes and budget..

While not true for all rental homes, many owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If they are hesitant to budge on a highly-desirable week, try asking for an extra night. Your greatest opportunity for a lower rate is switching to an off-season week.

• Power bills

Book It

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. Take notes of any damages immediately after you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a disagreement about legal liability later, having the recorded problems and communication attempts could be useful.
• When there's any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager promptly. A phone call can save hours of hassle.
• Remember to be a good neighbor. Natives will probably be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking rules can make a stay considerably more pleasurable.
• Ask a local. Local people are a fantastic source of suggestions. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best places for shopping?
• Enjoy your stay! Be sure to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation rental locked up when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Check to make sure you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cupboards and wardrobes.
• Make a point to walk through the rental one last time and look for damages. Whenever you can, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property owner is not available, make sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Just about all vacation rental management companies and vacation rental websites permit travellers to offer reviews. If your vacation rental and/or property manager was excellent, they'll appreciate your recommendations. If something went wrong, we advise being kind but completely honest with regards to your stay. Top owners and managers will work very hard to fix the situation.
