Outside, sun yourself on the upper deck, or grab a spot in the shade on our lower deck. We have a rinse shower down by the beach, and there is an enclosed shower under the home with hot water and a changing area for those who like to feel the breeze. Beach chairs and a bucket of toys are supplied.

For active visitors, there’s plenty to do. We have two kayaks beneath the home for use on the beach. The 11-mile Emerald Path bicycle trail runs right past our neighborhood and will carry you to the Point or up through town and all the way to Salter Path.

Booking the best Emerald Isle rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated Oceanfront Duplex in Ocean Oaks near the Point has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
