I have wanted to develop a rental by owner site for Emerald Isle, and the rest of the Crystal Coast for about a year now. Well a few weeks ago, I quit slacking and actually started programming in the evenings and weekends. And now I’m proud to say that there is a new Emerald Isle Rental by Owner site available for use by those seeking a rental property, and owners looking to list a property. While working on this project I received a lot of positive feedback from rental owners and other people seemed to think it was a good idea.

Yesterday Bogue Banks Water Corporation detected Total Coliform bacteria in the Emerald Isle water supply. The bacteria is generally not a health concern, but their presence can indicate other more harmful pathogens may be in the water. The Town Manager, Frank Rush issued the boil order until further written notice.
Okay, I’m in the holiday spirit and have decided to give those looking to book a week at the beach in an Emerald Isle oceanfront rental an early Christmas present! I’m not giving away a free week or anything that cool, but I did go ahead and do the hard part for you. I went shopping and found some good deals on rentals for this week.
The town of Emerald Isle had scheduled their Fifth Annual Holiday Parade for November 29th, but alas, the Crystal Coast weather reminded us just how much we are at the weather’s mercy. The parade was rained out. A major bummer for the Emerald Isle Business Association, the town, as well as the Crystal Coast visitors that planned to make it out.
An area of troubled beach in Emerald Isle known as the point is not so troubled anymore. The project to move Bogue Inlet has proved to be successful thus far. They moved the inlet further away from the western end of Emerald Isle and beach that had been washed away is now returning rapidly. For a long time the ramp at the end of Inlet Drive had been closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Saturday I was fortunate enough to get out on Bogue Sound and do some kayaking along the sound side of Emerald Isle. My good friend Steve and I were mainly looking for shrimp, but I think both of us needed a good upper-body workout so we paddled from Cedar St. to Kelly St. before taking to throwing the cast nets.
Today it was so nice today. I had the day off from my job in Jacksonville. Usually the weather craps out on my days off and I am unable to enjoy a day at the beach. But today the moon and stars must have been aligned in my favor because late this morning it turned really sunny and warm.
I went down to the Bogue Inlet Pier to catch some rays and enjoy the scenery. It was pretty busy down there for a week day, but none the less it was a good day. If you’ve never been to Emerald Isle and checked the beach out for yourself, you’re missing out!
