About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 5 Bedrooms
• 4 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

The Town of Emerald Isle lies on Bogue Banks, the southernmost island of the North Carolina Outer Banks. Our home is located at the secluded western end of the island known as 'The Point'.

It is a 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath home on a corner lot. with wood, tile and carpeted floors, Anderson windows, four Covered Decks (2 upper decks with Porch Furnishings, front lower deck with 2 porch swings). Directv with high speed internet access.

The double carport on the ground level is deep enough to accommodate four cars. On the rear of the home, under the lower deck, there is a tiled patio with a swing and patio furnishings, and 4-burner gas grille. It is a great place to relax while watching others play 'kick-the-can' or while preparing the 'daily catch' on the grille. Adjacent to the patio is a private, enclosed hot/cold shower with an enclosed changing area. After a day at the beach, this is a stop that shouldn't be missed.

At the front of the lower level, the door opens to the entryway, with french doors left and right leading to identical master bedrooms. Each has a king bed, a full bath, a enormous walk-in closet, a TV and Roku. Each is ideal for a peaceful getaway after a busy day or simply for a peaceful nighttime's sleep. Beyond the entryway, though another set of french doors, is a sizable 20' X 14' living area with 52' LCD SONY TV and Roku. A third bedroom has a queen bed, double closet and a Intelligent TV. A fourth bedroom has 2 twin beds, a double closet and a TV and DVD player. These two bedrooms share a tiled bath across from which is the laundry area with a washer and new dryer. The cabinets include cleaning products and light bulbs.
Blankets and additional pillows are included in each bedroom.

One of the main attractions is the upper level with its open floor plan. Vacations are for gatherings and conversations and laughs and this accepts everybody to share some time together. At the top of the stairs is a dining table that seats eight. Across the room is a very well-equipped kitchen and pantry separated from the 8 seat square dining table by a breakfast bar and eight bar chairs. For those who have been guests before, you will recognize this as the site of our annual 'pancake eating contest'.
The kitchen has a Keirug and Mr. Coffee maker, crock pot, huge pot for low country boil, many serving dishes and tons of silverware and cookware, electric grille pan, blender, and old-fashioned milkshake blender, toaster oven with air fryer, waffle iron, electric mixer, tea kettle, spices and herbs, mini refrigerator in the pantry, placemats, microwave, and a double oven.

In the front of the room is a sitting area with couch and chairs that surround a tiled fireplace with gas logs (it is not useable), a 47' LCD SONY TV and Roku. Surround-sound stereophonic equipment with iPhone connection completes the set-up. On the front, sliding glass doors open onto a covered deck with porch furnishings. It is from here that the spectacular vistas of sunrises and sunsets and the sweeping picture of ocean and inlet makes this one of my favorite spots.

Another set of sliding glass doors open onto the back covered deck, also equipped with porch furnishings. This is a particularly quit spot, protected from the ocean breeze, with vistas of the sound. We have taken advantage of this for a number of peaceful, calming 'dinners under the stars'. Each deck is equipped with a table with 4 surrounding chairs for outside dining.
There is a choice of access to the beaches. Go left to the walkway that will take you over the dunes or go right to the broad expanse of 'The Point'. Either way, you have open space enough for picnics, games and even a touch of solitude.



Keywords: Second row home; corner lot, four peaceful bedrooms on 1st floor with central family den, roomy well-equipped kitchen and dining area on 2nd floor with open floor plan for great vacation get-together.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Beaufort, NC rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Outstanding Location: The Finnish Line, Walk to Beach, Perfect Family Retreat has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your group.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
