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 magnificant 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.

The kitchen which has been completely modernized since 2021 with new updates every year is very well supplied. There is blender, mixer, electric can opener, modest electric food chopper, electric griddle, tons of pots and pans, tons of bowls, etc. I newly had the popcorn ceiling removed and dimmer cam lighting installed as well as a back splash and pull out drawers in the bottom cabinets. The doors were all removed and newly "shot painted".

Besides having a new laundry room upstairs inside of the home my guests have access to the downstairs shared laundry room. You may not choose to use the laundry room downstairs, but this room also contains some body boards and other beach gear that either side of the duplex can use. I keep some beach toys inside of the home under the stairs in a enormous plastic container as well.

Additional Information: Emerald Isle's unique location affords homes on the island both impressive 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.

Our top Emerald Isle vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending budget:

  • Summertime is high season in the New Bern area. Reserve your New Bern rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
  • In the New Bern area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
  • Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
  • Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

  • Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Catalina Spectacular Oceanfront 4BR 4BA Duplex Addition & Major Renovation 2025 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
  • Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
  • If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
  • Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
  • Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
