Up the stairs to the third floor, you'll find an open floor plan with the main living area, a dining area, a entirely equipped kitchen, a queen bedroom, and a bathroom with a sizable, tiled shower. Savor ocean vistas from the couches, dining, or kitchen, or open the slider and step out onto the deck to feel the breeze while you relax. There’s an outside table with four Adirondack chairs and two additional bar-height Adirondack chairs to enjoy the outdoor space.

The living room area has seating for 12 with two upsized couches, two upsized chairs with enormous ottomans, an adjustable height coffee table, three end tables, and a 65" Intelligent TV with surround sound.

The dining table is bar height and seats 6. The upsized bar has seating for 4 more and a lot of serving or workspace. The kitchen is completely equipped with serve and cookware and has a Keurig, blender, griddle, and toaster oven combo & toaster in addition to the new frig/freezer with water and ice maker, sink disposal, dishwasher, microwave, and cooktop/oven.

Back down to the first floor, you'll find a large master suite with a living area and a full bath with shower. You do have to go outside of the home to get to this room, but it is a nice, big room. Inside this separate entrance master suite, there's a king-size storage bed, a large dresser with a mirror, and two bedside tables, but it does not have a closet. There's also a comfortable sectional that pulls out into a full-size bed, a coffee table, and a 55" Intelligent TV.

This suite is ideal for when couples and families vacation together since it adds an additional inside living area and privacy.

The outside shower has hot and cold water, a rain head, a regular head, a foot wash, and a hose connection to wash you and your beach gear off.

Emerald Isle Escape is the west side of the duplex only. It was completely gutted and modernized inside and out including the front porch and boardwalk to the beach in 2024, and we have done our best to make it as nice and comfortable for your vacation home as possible. We even added an additional water heater so when everybody heads off the beach at the same time to grab dinner at a local favorite, you shouldn't run out of hot water! Every room has a ceiling fan and Intelligent TV, and all three floors have separate A/C controls. All bed linens including the comforters, shams, and throw pillows will be freshly laundered after each stay. Besides being just steps from the ocean and uncrowded beach, the location of Emerald Isle Escape is great because as soon as you come off the EI bridge onto the island, you get into the right lane out of traffic, turn at the very first light, and are here in just a few mins.. You should be able to park 7 cars in the driveway on our side of the duplex.

Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are full-time residents and other visitors around this rental. You should relax, let loose, and have a great time on vacation, but this is not a event home. Please enjoy yourself as we always have when we are on vacation, but be mindful that reckless or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated. We hope you will make Emerald Isle Escape your vacation home and that it will be everything you want it to be with a pristine beach, warm sun, soft waves, a light breeze, and comfortable accommodations. We sincerely hope you adore and enjoy being here as much as we do!

Emerald Isle rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your Havelock vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. 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 reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Emerald Isle Escape - New, Completely Renovated Oceanfront Duplex has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
