We strongly encourage our guests to purchase trip insurance in case their vacation has to be cancelled or altered for any of a variety of reasons. Consumer Reports recommends InsureMyTrip. VRBO also offers trip insurance.

Our condo:
Pebble Beach is a gated, oceanfront community located on the Crystal Coast, at the southern end of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Emerald Isle was rated the best beach in NC by USA Today. Our condo, D-101, is a corner, first floor unit, which is clean, nicely maintained and equipped, and recently renovated. We have comfortable furniture, two balconies, only a few steps to the ocean front pool, and only a few steps to the beach!

The price is lower than almost any other comparable unit, since, being a first floor unit, the view of the ocean is limited--though the walk to the ocean is one of the shortest in the entire complex.

We have local cleaners, maintenance people, and backup maintenance people to be available for any issues or emergencies. The owners' phone numbers are posted inside and we encourage our guests to call for any problems. We have keyless entry so you can go directly to the condo without waiting in line at the rental management company. And, upon departure, you don't have to go back to the management company to check out!

The condo was recently updated with new flooring throughout. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances and bar seating for four. Dining room seats six. Both bathrooms updated with complete renovation in past year.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a firm, 12" memory foam mattress, an oceanfront and pool-front balcony, and its own full bath. Bedroom 2 has two twins and a balcony, and bedroom 3 has a queen sized bed and a balcony. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a full bath.

Linens and towels are included. We provide a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bag, and dish soap, but you will probably need to purchase more.

Amenities:
Pebble Beach has an ocean front pool, a second outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and an exercise gym.

We have an ocean front gazebo, multiple grills and picnic areas, multiple grassy play areas, two lighted tennis courts, a gated entry with guard house and on-site security personnel, and impeccable landscaping. We have an oceanfront clubhouse which is available for meetings, reunions, weddings, and other gatherings.

Biking:
We have an 11 mile long, paved, dedicated bike and walking path, separated from the highway. Bike rentals are available across the street from the condo and the complex has multiple bike racks.

Kayaking, Fishing, Boating:
There are multiple kayak launch areas and parks within the city limits of Emerald Isle, including a sound front park with dock less than one mile away. There is excellent surf fishing right in front of Pebble Beach, and a great pier with legendary fishing and a highly rated restaurant overlooking the ocean one mile away. For those who enjoy boating and fishing, there is boat trailer parking nearby for a small fee. There is a full service marina approximately 10 minutes away, where a wet boat slip on Bogue Sound can be rented by the day or week. There are two free, public boat ramps on Bogue Sound, within a 10 minute drive, offering convenient access to Bogue Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. It is about a 10 minute boat ride to the ocean from the marina and from the two public ramps.

North Carolina mountains lake front house:
We also offer a 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage, with private dock and boat slip, on Lake James, a pristine, 7000 acre lake in the mountains of North Carolina, where Last of the Mohicans and Hunt for Red October were filmed. VRBO #617996.
