Looking for a restful vacation, with just enough to keep the family entertained, but not be overwhelmed with hordes and traffic? Located on a peaceful island, just off the North Carolina Coast, this comfortable, 3 bedroom, 4 bath home is over 2300 square feet.

The home has 2 unique features - it is sound front with a walkway through the woods to the pier into the sound and has 2 separate living areas - one on the first floor and one on the third floor.

The top (3rd!) floor is the main living area, opening onto a sound front deck, with Adirondack chairs, and a grille. (and spectacular vistas!) The interior includes an open space kitchen, counter bar with 4 seats, dining area that seats 8, a full bath, and 2 separate seating areas! The main seating area has a sizable screen LG intelligent TV with traditional seating (couch, 2 side chairs) Off to the side, also facing the sound, is a reading/sleeping area. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, and 2 comfortable chairs and a bookshelf - (this is a public space and offers NO privacy - ideal for teens or kids, or the early riser in the family).
The kitchen is equipped with all standard appliances and dishes/silverware, pots and pans for feeding your crowd. You will also find enough basics - paper towels, TP, paper plates/cups, dish soap, laundry soap, coffee, sugar, etc -(you get the picture!) so you don't need to dash off to the store.

The middle floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. - complete with towels and clean linens! All bedrooms come with flatscreen TV's with Roku/internet access. (Please use your own credentials for specialty TV channels) The master has a queen sized bed and a 4 piece, ensuite, with jetted tub and 5 foot shower! The 2nd bedroom also has a queen sized bed. Both open onto the middle sound side deck with outdoor seating. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk with a "full" sized bottom and a single upper. The washer and dryer are on this floor for handy access.

The ground floor can be used nearly as a separate suite. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, a full bath, and a separate TV/living area with couch and loveseat, as well as access to the backyard. It has interior stairs to the top 2 floors but if needed, the other floors can be accessed by the outside decks..

The home's private pier leads to the sound for fishing, clamming, sailing. It is a little shallow for bigger speedboats, except at high tide, but it is great for modest kids, sailing, kayaking, jet skis, and sunset viewing. (We do NOT provide any recreational cars......) There is a local marina just 1 mile away in Salter Path (Indian Beach) where you launch water cars....and a rental place less than 2 miles away.

And there's more!....Entertainment!

The ocean/beach access is just 3 tenths of a mile away in Salter Path. It is recommended that folks with modest kids drive and make the 3 min. trip with toys, chairs, etc. since it is on the main road. It is a well-kept secret, because even on holiday weekends, it is painless to find parking and a 'spot' on the beach with some space to spread out your towels, and family - no "elbow to elbow", listening to someone else's music. It has outside showers, bathrooms, and grilles, and a good number of parking spaces, many of which are shaded. The beach is wide and sandy, and the water has a gradual slope out, providing tons of safe places to swim and skim board. (The home has an outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off sandy feet.)

The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is just 2 miles away and provides marvelous viewing, touch tanks, nature trails, as well as programs for all age levels!

A modest amusement park and 2 theaters are within a few mins. drive and provide change of pace activities when you a need a break from the sun, sea and salt. There also golf courses -https://www.emeraldislerealty.com/blog/top-emerald-isle-nc-area-golf-courses

Everything you would need for a peaceful vacation is less than 15 mins. away

Morehead City, Cape Carteret, and Beaufort are modest close by (less than 20 miles!) towns with tons of appeal, as well as art galleries, local museums, antique stores and fresh shopping. New Bern, NC - the first NC state capital- is 45 mins. away and has a real castle, and many historic amenities.

We do not wish to be rude or unwelcoming, but.....
WE DO NOT RENT TO GROUPS OF UNRELATED FOLKS.
And a Disclaimer:
Please be aware that we are in a private subdivision and are responsible to our HOA. There is limited parking - 3 in the driveway, 1 on the street - max..... (YOU MAY NOT PARK IN ANY NEIGHBOR'S DRIVE WHETHER THEY APPEAR TO BE AT HOME OR NOT!)

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

When to visit Indian Beach & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Booking your Beaufort, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Single family home, but space for 2 families or multigenerational stays! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
