Emerald Isle Escape was completely gutted and refreshed 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 hot 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 newly 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 6 cars in the driveway.

Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are visitors and full-time residents 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 appreciate and enjoy being here as much as we do!

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Havelock area. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. 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 discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed 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 Havelock rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
