After not renting for 2 years while repairing broad water damage, we're excited to be back to help with your vacation plans! Over the next few days we'll be updating our description and posting new photos, so check back regularly!

Welcome to your vacation beach hideaway in the private Spinnaker’s Reach neighborhood! The neighborhood includes a community pool (across from the beach access), as well as community access to Bogue Sound in neighboring Spinnaker’s Landing.

Our home is a third row oceanside duplex with a roomy reverse floor plan that sleeps 11 in 5 bedrooms. The second-floor master suite includes a king bed, private deck access, and a soaking tub with separate shower in the bathroom. Two additional second floor bedrooms include queen beds and share a hall bath. The third-floor guest room on this level also offers a queen bed and a wardrobe in lieu of a closet. On the first floor, you’ll find a game and bunk room that includes a full-twin bunk.

The cavernous third floor is an open floor plan, including the family room, a brightly lit and well-outfitted kitchen that includes a granite countertop and a dishwasher (of course…who wants to wash dishes on vacation?), plus access to the top-level deck.

We provide linen service with your stay, including entirely made beds; two bath towels per person, plus hand towels and wash cloths; bathmats for all bathrooms; and two kitchen towels.

Our amenities include Wi-Fi connectivity, a gas grille, dumbwaiter, full-size hot tub, hot/cold outdoor shower, full-size washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, as well Roku or Intelligent TVs in 3 bedrooms. The family room includes a huge Intelligent TV and a DVR player, along with an assortment of games and puzzles for rainy days. We also provide a golf cart for your convenience. Please follow posted rules for golf cart use; golf carts are only for neighborhood use, they aren’t allowed on Coast Guard Road.

We welcome your dogs, up to 2 allowed with a $150 non-returnable fee per pet. Emerald Isle accepts dogs on the beach, though they must be on a leash (owner, too!). You’ll find pickup bags at the beach access so you can clean up after your pet and keep our beach clean.

Please note that this is a non-smoking property.

We’ve owned and rented this home since 2013. If you’re familiar with our home, as we update our description and add new photos, you’ll notice multiple improvements for this season. Already complete: we have new decks (Trex), we refreshed the 3rd floor bedroom with an adjustable bed and room darkening curtains, refreshed the primary-master bathroom, replaced TVs in the master-primary bedroom and first floor bedroom, re-upholstered our overstuffed “Monkey Chair” and couch cushions, replaced numerous pillows (every bed has shams as well as cased pillows), and in the kitchen updated our coffee pot (replaced separate Keurig and Mr. Coffee with a single unit that does both) while continuing to refresh pots and pans. And finally, we plan to convert from physical keys to electronic locks by mid-May. We’ll post new photos as we progress.

Disclosure. Not installed yet, but planned by mid-May: we plan to add one exterior security camera and an exterior noise monitoring device; both will be placed in the carport. The camera will face the street, so the coverage area will be the driveway and part of the yard adjacent to the driveway. The noise monitoring device will *not* record conversations; it will only identify excess noise levels to help us resolve potential noise complaints from neighbors. We will NOT place cameras or other surveillance devices on the interior of our home, and we will NOT place any at the back of the home (specifically on the patio with vistas of the hot tub and the outdoor shower). We will protect your privacy.
- Once we install these, we will update with a photo showing the placement of these devices.

Our top Emerald Isle vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Havelock area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Pet Friendly 3rd Row Duplex in Spinnaker's Reach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
