Makin' Waves is a grand home that has a classic, opulent feel throughout the entire 3 floors of cavernous gathering spaces and comfortably appointed bedrooms. The exterior also has much to offer, with multi-level covered and uncovered decks on the front and back side all adorned with furnishings for calming and sunbathing. Make watching the sound-side sunset a ritual from the porch swing in the front, and appreciate vistas of the ocean, as well as the family making memories in the private pool, from the back.
Coming in from the pool deck, there is a ground-level living room, offering a roomy, recreational area to take a break from the sun. There is a huge sectional couch that offers a queen sleeper, entertainment center, ping pong table, card table, and a kitchenette, complete with an ice maker and wine refrigerator. In addition to the outdoor shower on the pool deck, there is a full-sized bath on this level, with an entrance from both the pool deck and just off the kitchenette. This floor includes a laundry room and is where the elevator begins its service.

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best rental within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanview with elevator, private pool, golf cart, in Dolphin Ridge community has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC destination you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
