OCEANFRONT with LARGEST POOL at LOWEST RATE in EMERALD ISLE,PLUS FREE POOL HEAT

PLEASE CONTACT OWNER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOUSE.
OWNER PREFERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL GUESTS 'BEFORE' GUESTS MAKE A RESERVATION TO BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THIS HOUSE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN ORDER TO MEET ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :-)

• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!!
Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great for children and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other houses use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).

• NO CHARGE for 'HOST FEE': Unlike the majority of Homeowners, we do NOT charge this ($150 to $450) fee! (Not to be confused with VRBO Fee)

• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550…because MOST houses in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!)
(Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ RATES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug.
