Accommodations: Oceanfront Duplex with 4 Bedrooms, 3 BA,(one en suite). Sleeps 10 per side. New photos coming soon with updates that have already been finished.

Escape to my economical oceanfront duplex that has gorgeous oceanfront vistas. Since I became sole owner of the East side of my duplex I have been doing updates every year. I have had nearly the entire duplex painted from a tired yellow to calming blue tones. I have put in new appliances, furnishings, granite counter tops, resurfaced the tubs, put in a kitchen tiled backsplash, added LED lighting in the kitchen and under the countertops, changed out light fixtures in bathrooms, put in new vanities, put in a new air compressor, and many other updates. This year I am hoping to add on another bathroom so that it will be 4 bedroom 4 bathroom duplex. Awaiting bids right now and hope to start remodeling in January.

The home has a bright, airy, bungalow feel and is a ideal place to relax. Admire the view from the inside or step outside onto the covered porch to catch an oceanfront breeze sitting in one of the 4 rocking chairs on the deck. There is also a dune landing steps from the beach with a bench and more magnificant vistas. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the impressive beaches are never busy.

Conveniences also include hi-speed wireless service, outdoor shower and washer/dryer.

How to book the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to book:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book 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 vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply New Bern area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Duplex with Gorgeous Views has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If not, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
