The Sailfish - Spectacular Emerald Isle, NC;

The Sailfish is a private beach home for rent in Emerald Isle, NC, at the beginning of the Crystal Shores of the NC Outer Banks. The beaches on Emerald Isle are elegant white sand, great for swimming and fishing. No hotels or commercial activity on the beach makes this an unspoiled, family-aligned place to savor the beach. We rent the Sailfish only to family groups of up to 14 persons. Our home sits on the 2nd row, right across the street from beachfront. Walk down our walkway and cross the modest street to the public beach access right in front of the home. If you want to go clamming in the sound, just walk down our driveway and cross the street in the other direction, to reach the sound.
The Sailfish is completely air conditioned, has two floors, ocean vistas from each floor, and 7 comfortable bedrooms. Two rooms dedicated to play: the upstairs sunroom with game tables, and the downstairs rec room with ping pong table. Our parents constructed this alluring huge space so that our family could vacation together. We hope you will appreciate it as much as we still do!
Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and two full baths that interconnect between bedrooms. Two ocean-view bedrooms have 1 queen bed each. Two other bedrooms each have 2 double beds. The enormous, airy living room has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans. Giant dining table with seating up to 12 persons. Entirely equipped kitchen. Roomy sunroom with two tables, ideal for games, working remotely, or additional seating for dining. We keep an assortment of games, puzzles and books in the sunroom, available for guests to enjoy.

Downstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One queen bedroom has ocean view, one bedroom with double bed and desk set-up that is great for working remotely, and one bedroom with 2 twin beds.

New Bern rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. \"The Sailfish\" - 2nd row to the ocean available in 2025, book now! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
