The Sailfish is a private beach home for rent in Emerald Isle, NC, at the beginning of the Crystal Shores of the NC Outer Banks. The beaches on Emerald Isle are pretty white sand, great for swimming and fishing. No hotels or commercial activity on the beach makes this an unspoiled, family-aligned place to appreciate the beach. We rent the Sailfish only to family groups of up to 14 persons. Our home sits on the 2nd row, right across the street from beachfront. Walk down our walkway and cross the modest street to the public beach access right in front of the home. If you want to go clamming in the sound, just walk down our driveway and cross the street in the other direction, to reach the sound.
The Sailfish is entirely air conditioned, has two floors, ocean vistas from each floor, and 7 comfortable bedrooms. Two rooms dedicated to play: the upstairs sunroom with game tables, and the downstairs rec room with ping pong table. Our parents constructed this delightful enormous space so that our family could vacation together. We hope you will savor it as much as we still do!

Our top Vacation rental tips:

When to reserve a Beaufort, NC rental & When to go:

• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
