Welcome to "Finest Life". See our 90+ five star reviews on Vacation Rental By Owner since 2013. This is a very clean, well maintained and completely furnished ocean front home in handsome Emerald Isle, NC. It has a full-on ocean view from the deck and home, not partial and not over the street or rooftops. It is half of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not a rental; it is someone's rarely used second home, so you will not have any crazy or noisy neighbors. Unlike staying in a condo complex, you'll have privacy and no worries about noise, sharing the deck, loud events or annoying behavior. Ideal for families with kids. The home is close to a lifeguard station on the beach.
There is a gentle set of stairs from deck to beach, not the 50 or 60 steps to get to the homes that sit high up on the dunes. The home has everything you'll need and the kitchen is entirely equipped (even spare appliances such as blender, coffee maker & toaster). There is a Kuerig type coffee machine. We provide starter supplies upon your arrival (soap, paper towels, t.p.). ALL of the linens in the home is premium gel memory foam 12" beds and new frames that are less than 3 years old. (Oh, so comfortable!) All beds have thick zippered bed-sacks too. Living room couch and adore-seat are new in 2022. New king bed 2022 as well.
This home is an superb value and has everything you'll need for a restful anxiety-complimentary vacation at the beach. The manager is local. An all-new bigger deck is just a few years old. Note the constructed-in benches on the deck near the ocean. Both bathrooms were modernized not long ago as well. All the doors were newly replaced. The street side windows were all replaced in 2022. As you can see from all of our photos, we strive to make this a cozy and elegantly 'beachy' home. Among the features of this property are Spectrum cable, STRONG wireless internet (to the deck +), new central air unit (2021), ceiling fans in every room, 3 flat-screen HD-TV's (55" in living room), and bespoke hand-painted tropical murals in each bedroom. It's NOT cheap thin, uncomfortable rattan or boxy or IKEA furnishings, nor is it used furnishings from Grandma's home. We want you to relax and be comfortable! Telephone owner AL directly at nine seven three four seven six eight one nine one with any questions.

There are 2 ocean-front master bedrooms (1 K & 1 Q) and 2 bedrooms street side (partial Sound view) with doubles and singles. There are 2 full baths (1 tub/shower main floor and 1 w/ shower only on the upper floor) and a amazing outdoor enclosed over-sized locking shower with hot and cold water and a dressing area. (The outside shower is particularly great for kids or a fast exhilarating rinse after coming off the beach.)

Recent (within the past few years) upgrades include new beds, laminate floor, bigger deck, remodeled bathrooms, new living room furnishings, new stove and refrigerator, new kitchen sink & faucet, new TV's, new roof, all new interior doors, windows, digital entrance lock, and many smaller changes as well. The a/c unit was replaced in 2021. The driveway and landscaping were upgraded in 2021. The electrical panel and service for the home was replaced in 2021. We are constantly upgrading! There are hurricane shutters on all the windows, including pretty coral color Bahama type shutters on the street side windows. More improvements are planned for 2022 and 2023.

There are lifeguards on the beach within sight just a short walk away. This home is ON THE BEACH with the same ocean, vistas, and ease of access as the mansions that cost 3 or 4 times as much. Wouldn't it be nice not to have to drag all your stuff to the beach from a block or more away? There is a giant difference between OCEAN-FRONT and 1 or 2 or 3 homes in from the beach. No carts or wagons needed. No going down the block to a public access entrance. Need a drink or suntan lotion while you're at the beach? Just walk up onto the deck and get it! Maybe leave additional beverages or your kids's toys on the deck walkway for instant access. We appreciate your inquiry and thank you for your time and for considering "Best Life"! E-mail or call if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best wishes for a great Emerald Isle vacation!

Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Booking in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing a perfect Beaufort, NC rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. See dolphins from the living room! Ocean-front 4-bed house @ condo price. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
