HERE’S WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PROPERTY:

THE LOCATION: Ocean Club is the ideal place for a private escape. Located between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, you'll appreciate the simple life in Indian Beach. Unwind on pristine and peaceful beaches, kayak on the sound, and have some fun at the top-rated mini golf-course right down the road. The best thing is that you're a fast 4-min. drive to Emerald Isle or a 10-min. ride to Atlantic Beach. There is so much to do from this comfy condo, yet it's so painless to slip away.

THE VIEW: It's what sold us on the condo! You'll be greeted by a breath-taking, expansive view from the penthouse condo. It feels like you're right on the beach. Parlor on the sizable, 27-foot balcony and listen to the waves roll-in. Dunes span between E-building condo balconies and the sand, with no walkways or pool area obstructing your view. Dolphins are frequently seen playing in the water.
*Bonus, you can see the sound from the front door and deck, so cool!

THE PROXIMITY!!: E-building has marvelous vistas and super simple access to the beach and pool (see map). With only 2 beach and pool access ramps, E-building is as close to the access points as you can get. This makes rounding-up the kids or coming in for a quick snack easy! The unit is close to the elevator and covered + uncovered parking spaces. Oh, and did we mention there is a private storage closet so you can drop your beach trolley on the bottom floor... no need to lug all those sandy items upstairs!

THE SPACE: Plenty of room for 6-8 guests, no matter the age. The kitchen has been extended 18 inches for more counter and storage space. The third bedroom is also more roomy than similar units, so everybody will be cozy. Dining area has water-resistant seating with glass table-top, so you can relax. The unit has been colorfully decorated with coastal décor for an all-around good time! Sleeps 6-8.

THE COMPLEX: The Ocean Club has so much to offer! The outdoor pool is heated (except mid Jan - March, dates vary), kiddy pool, hot tubs, exercise room, and direct beach access. We are located on the ocean side, but don’t forget to check out the sound side! Sound side is just across the street and features freshly constructed long-pier, enormous decks over the sound, kayak access and storage, another pool and hot tubs, and tons of shady trees and nature. Check out the posted information on coastline revitalization.

Vacation rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Indian Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. ONCE UPON A TIDE: Top Floor, Oceanfront, Prime Location, Pool, Linens included has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
