Escape to my economical oceanfront duplex that has striking 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 an addition has been started to add another bathroom so the home will a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom duplex. The contractors are also building a new laundry upstairs in the home. The addition is expected to be finished mid April.

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 impressive vistas. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the handsome beaches are never busy.

Conveniences also include hi-speed wireless service, outdoor shower and washer/dryer. There will access to two washer and dryers. The one inside the home as well as a shared one downstairs under the main living area.

Additional Information: Emerald Isle's unique location affords homes on the island both pretty sunrises and sunsets. Our home is located at the end of a no-through street so there is no traffic. The home is located mins. from eateries, shopping, golf, kayaking, movie theaters, fishing, cycling, water slide parks, pickleball, tennis, basketball courts, an aquarium and many other activities. Other interests in the area include visits to historic Beaufort, Fort Macon, Swansboro, 1/2 or full day trips to Hammocks Beach State Park or Cape Look Out. (Both of these islands do not have any homes or commercial development and have great shelling.)

Units are Sunday-Sunday. There is a no smoking policy and no family pets are allowed. You must be at least 25 years old to rent the property. Prices listed are for weekly units. Nightly units are available off season or last min. during prime season if a week opens up. Note: Prices are subject to change without notice until confirmed.

I am always happy to give my guests information on area eateries and local spots to see.

Finding the best Havelock vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Booking your Havelock vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking yourrental home:

• To start, have your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Spectacular Oceanfront Views 4BR 4BA Duplex with over 100k Addition & Updates has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order 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 review.
