This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse is a hop, skip, and jump from the sun, sand and surf at The Circle in Atlantic Beach. For decades, this spot has been the ultimate beach destination and remains a top pick of travelers near and far.

The sense of nostalgia is strong here — with swim stores and ice cream stands dotted along the boardwalk. It’s a throwback to simpler times and painless, fun family days spent strolling the shore for leisure.
Now, you will find fresh dining, beach stores and bars with high-quality drinks, with the same southern spirit and friendly vibe this area is known for.

When you stay at Marley’s Retreat, you can count on simple access to the beach — and the action— whether you head straight to the sand or watch the fun from the balcony, it’s the ideal place to appreciate it all. Wave to passersby, watch the waves in the distance and wait for the sun to dip down over the ocean in a fiery glow.

Inside, relax and revel in the comfort of this freshly constructed townhome. Natural tones and textures bring in the feel of the outdoors with subtle sophistication and style. With an open layout, huge living and dining spaces, and a gourmet kitchen, your family and friends will have plenty of room to move around, mingle or just be together.

The second floor features the primary bedroom with a king-sized bed and an inviting en suite bath with a modern-feel walk-in shower. The guest bedroom on this same floor is equally appealing, with a queen-sized bed and en suite walk-in shower. On the first floor, you will find an additional guest bedroom with another queen-sized bed, a washer & dryer and an en suite bathroom with a full shower and bath combo.

Embrace coastal living at its fines at Marley’s Retreat, where the calming sound of the waves meets the luxury of home. Your everyday escape awaits at this coastal gem on the Crystal Coast, where sunsets paint the sky, and the beach is steps from your door.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best New Bern vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Marley's Retreat-Oceanside Townhome in Atlantic Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
