Thank you for respecting that the locked outdoor shed, locked garage and three locked owners closets are kept locked and off-limits to guests.

EASY BEACH ACCESS: The closest beach access is to the left of the house and only 100 steps away and is a sand path with no steps (super easy for the kiddos). The other is to the right of the house and is a boardwalk with a few steps up and a few steps down.

FRIDAY Check-in/check-out: Get on and off the island before the crazy weekend traffic and make a run to the grocery store before everyone else! Check-In time is 4 pm and check-out time is 10 am. Because cleaning well between guests is important to us, we are unable to adjust the check-in and check-out times for our guests. Thank you for your understanding.

TOWELS & LINENS INCLUDED: Bath towels and bed linens are provided at no charge to our guests. NOTE: However, do bring your own beach towels and beach chairs, or you may arrange to rent these from Island Essentials or Baby Quip.

We supply basic cleaning supplies and kitchen essentials like foil, plastic wrap, trash bags, dishwasher detergent and hand soap. Please bring your own personal toiletries like bath soap and shampoo. We supply starter toilet paper and paper towels to start your week.

FAST WIFI! We sometimes work and school from the beach, so we’ve made sure to have High-speed Wifi throughout the house with a mesh system. All TVs have Roku attached. There is a workstation/desk downstairs with a B&W laser printer.

NO SMOKING/VAPING. We request that guests do not smoke/vape near the house including the decks because some smoke smell inevitably finds its way into the house and we pride ourselves on providing a smoke-free experience as much as possible. Smoke/vape outside only and please try to keep it to the back yard.

DOG FRIENDLY. We welcome well behaved family dogs! No weight limit, up to two. We provide poop baggies and ask owners to promptly clean up after their dogs. Per town regulations, dogs must be leashed outdoors and on the beach.

SECURITY. We have 4 exterior security video cameras that are always on 24/7, two at the front and 2 at the back of the house.

We will ask all reservations to confirm the maximum number of 10 guests with an email giving the names of all the guests in their group. We also ask the person making the reservation to use the Houfy platform to submit a copy of their photo ID within 24 hours of booking to avoid cancellation of the reservation. If you have more than 4 adults or they are unrelated, please explain why in your booking request. We will email and ask you to electronically sign our rental agreement within 24 hours of booking.

THINGS TO DO:
Our home is located on a flat section of Ocean Drive, which is a great street to walk, bike or rollerblade. Emerald Isle is bike-friendly with bike paths along the major roads and easy bike rental if you cannot bring your own. Bike or walk to the Emerald Plantation Shopping 2.5 miles away. You can walk easily to the pier via the beach (about 1.5 mile away). Emerald Plantation Shopping, Food Lion or Publix, water park, cinema, shopping, mini-golf, restaurants, canoe and kayak rentals and surf shop are only 2-3 miles away.

Youll often find wonderful tidal pools on our beach during low tide. As with any beach (especially one with sandbars and without lifeguards), know what to do in terms of rip tides. On Emerald Isle, we dont usually get the monster waves you see on the outer banks, but everyone should know about rip tides. Bring flashlights to look for crabs at night and a pair of binoculars to watch the dolphins or birdwatch.

Fishing: The Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier is a 1.5-mile walk on the beach to right. Surf fishing is popular especially when the beaches are quiet.

We’ve tried to stock the kitchen with necessary utensils and cookware. If anything is missing, please tell us so we can address the problem.
