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 comfortably 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 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.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional 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.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Beaufort, NC area:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Easy Beach Access! Instant book, Ocean View, 4Bd\/3Ba, walk to Waterpark, Growler has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
