As you pull into the driveway, the beauty of this impeccably well-kept classic beach bungalow will immediately impress you. Before you climb the deck stairs to the main level, do yourself a favor and stop for a moment to take in the opulent, heated pool. When you eventually enter the home, you will be greeted by a roomy entry area, well-outfitted kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances to your left, and the open dining room straight ahead leading into a comfortable living area with a intelligent tv and cozy couch bed. Just off of the living room is a opulent master suite equipped with an charming king-size bed and en suite bath. If you instead pass through the kitchen, you will encounter a cozy hallway leading to a second bedroom with a queen-size bed, the laundry room with washer and dryer, and a second private bath.

Walk up the stairs, and you will come to two additional bedrooms and a third full bathroom. To your left is a comfortable bedroom with a full-size bed, private balcony, and a gorgeous view of the sand dunes that rest between the neighborhood and the beach. Leave your windows open at nighttime and fall asleep to the sounds of the crashing waves! On the other end of the upstairs is a cheerful bedroom with two twin beds that are ideal for any singles or kids in your group.

Back on the main level, grab your favorite book or drink (or both!) and head for some peaceful time on the screened-in porch, or mosey on down to the backyard for some outdoor games, or grille some juicy steaks or fresh seafood on the charcoal grille.

No matter where you are on the property, the relaxing ambiance and attention to detail are sure to leave a lasting impression. Don't be surprised when you find yourself already planning next year's return trip!

*ULTRA CLEAN GUARANTEE: We want guests to book with the assurance that the home will be Ultra Clean when they arrive. That's why we offer the Ultra Clean Guarantee. When a guest checks in, we guarantee that the home will be ideally clean to their liking or we will gladly send our cleaning team out to the home to remedy the situation.

*OPTIONAL POOL HEATER: Guests have the OPTION to request that the pool heater be turned on during their stay. Please note that the availability of the pool heater is completely weather dependent. The pool heater is only available when the heater can effectively maintain the pool at a comfortable temperature (minimum water temperature of 80 degrees), which is when air temperatures are consistently at or above roughly 60 degrees (including overnight). Most years, this means that the heater is available from around mid-April until Mid-October (weather dependent). Because use of the pool heater is an optional feature, refunds will not be included if the pool heater is unavailable during a Guest’s stay for any reason (e.g., cooler weather, maintenance, etc.).

NOTE ABOUT PARTIES, LARGE GATHERINGS & EXCESSIVE NOISE: Please also note that if you are looking for a location to host a event or loud gathering, this is definitely NOT the place for you. We have an marvelous association of neighbors who work collectively to maintain the beauty and tranquility of the neighborhood. In an effort to do our part, we have a strict "no events" policy, and the safety and tranquility of our guests and neighborhood are ensured by exterior security cameras and a Minut noise monitoring device that will immediately alert us when excessive noise levels are detected. Any guest who hosts, or attempts to host, an unauthorized gathering will be subject to immediate eviction without refund and a $500 fine (withheld from their security deposit). However, if relaxation, rejuvenation, and quality time with family and friends is what you are looking for, you will not find a more ideal setting in all of Emerald Isle!

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking the perfectvacation home:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Peaceful Emerald Isle Beach House • New Heated Pool • King Suite • Walk 2 Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
