You can choose from several different Emerald Isle vacation rental agencies. By far, the two biggest in town are Bluewater and Emerald Isle Realty, which offer over 1200 properties between them.

Also consider looking at Prudential Sun-Surf Realty and Shorewood. Most any Emerald Isle vacation rental that you are seeking will be available from one of these agencies, though keep in mind that June through September is high season and you may not be able to rent the vacation property you want at the time you wish to arrive, so book early if you can.

You can find Oceanfront, Oceanside (including second row and third row, usually have a nice ocean view), Ocean View, Soundside, and Sound View units. You can also choose from vacation rental homes, duplexes, condos, and apartments. Emerald Isle is a great place for a relaxed family vacation, so choose your price point and your location on the island, and you can't go wrong by spending a week or more in Emerald Isle North Carolina!
