Our condo:
Pebble Beach is a gated, oceanfront community located on the Crystal Coast, at the southern end of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Emerald Isle was rated the best beach in NC by USA Today. Our condo, D-101, is a corner, first floor unit, which is clean, gorgeously maintained and equipped, and newly refreshed. We have comfortable furnishings, two balconies, only a few steps to the ocean front pool, and only a few steps to the beach!

The price is lower than nearly any other comparable unit, since, being a first floor unit, the view of the ocean is limited--though the walk to the ocean is one of the shortest in the entire complex.

We have local cleaners, maintenance people, and backup maintenance people to be available for any issues or emergencies. The owners' phone numbers are posted inside and we encourage our guests to call for any problems. We have keyless entry so you can go directly to the condo without waiting in line at the rental management company. And, upon departure, you don't have to go back to the management company to check out!

The condo was freshly updated with new floor throughout. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances and bar seating for four. Dining room seats six. Both bathrooms updated with complete remodel in past year.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a firm, 12" memory foam bed, an oceanfront and pool-front balcony, and its own full bath. Bedroom 2 has two twins and a balcony, and bedroom 3 has a queen sized bed and a balcony. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a full bath.

Linens and towels are supplied. We provide a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bag, and dish soap, but you will probably need to purchase more.

Conveniences:
Pebble Beach has an ocean front pool, a second outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and an exercise gym.

We have an ocean front gazebo, multiple grilles and picnic areas, multiple grassy play areas, two lighted tennis courts, a gated entry with guard home and on-site security personnel, and impeccable landscaping. We have an oceanfront clubhouse which is available for meetings, get-togethers, weddings, and other gatherings.

Biking:
We have an 11 mile long, paved, dedicated bicycle and walking path, separated from the highway. Bicycle units are available across the street from the condo and the complex has multiple bicycle racks.

Kayaking, Fishing, Boating:
There are multiple kayak launch areas and parks within the city limits of Emerald Isle, including a sound front park with dock less than one mile away. There is superb surf fishing right in front of Pebble Beach, and a great pier with legendary fishing and a highly rated restaurant overlooking the ocean one mile away. For those who appreciate boating and fishing, there is boat trailer parking close by for a modest fee. There is a full service marina roughly 10 mins. away, where a wet boat slip on Bogue Sound can be rented by the day or week. There are two complimentary, public boat ramps on Bogue Sound, within a 10 min. drive, offering convenient access to Bogue Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. It is about a 10 min. boat ride to the ocean from the marina and from the two public ramps.

North Carolina mountains lake front home:

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Havelock area. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental home:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Emerald Isle Oceanfront Condo at Pebble Beach. 3BR, 2BA. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your 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 fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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 review.
