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 enormous 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.

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.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Beaufort, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Large Oceanfront House, quick walk to shops & stores- EAST has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
