Full blown beach resort. Reviews are on trip advisor. Alluring wooded area with paths and walkways, and then a bigger open area closer to the beach. Great for families or groups. Lots of kids activities like a kiddie pool, sprayground/splashpad, playground, mini-golf, hammocks, gym/exercise center. On site activities department provides tons of options for families and individuals to participate in special events, pig pickin', scavenger hunts, crafts, games, introductions to local attractions, and things such as surfboard units on site along with beach & umbrella units on site. 24 hr security on site. Super convenient, and this is the prime condo location within the resort.

Our condo is located beachfront in Phase 2 (buildings 15-25)

The other Peppertree listing here on Airbnb (not mine) is for Phase 3 (buildings 26-33) and located rather a walk from the beach in the mosquito/swampy tree area close to the highway. The Phase 3 building style looks very "motel / motor court" type of accommodations much like Motel 6 where you park 3 feet from your front door, rather than a "beach condo." The other listing will not indicate that's where your condo will be, but if you are booking for the Summer, you will 100% be booked there despite where the website price tag appears on the map.

To avoid being disappointed and wanting to cancel an alternate booking, ask the host EXACTLY which condo building and floor you are booking BEFORE you purchase, and compare it to the building map in photos here. I can promise you our condo is EXACTLY as posted at building 18, and that we personally took the photos. Just saying, watch out.

Read the booking reviews for the cheaper options ("2 Bedroom Atlantic Beach Condo with Beach Access" and "hosted by Kevin" ) and you'll see complaints like "no view" "surrounded by trees" "long walk to beach". I stopped counting after 15 different reviews said "not the condo from the photos in the listing" for that listing. Book it and you will be WAY far in the back of the resort next to the road when booking summer time thru that listing or those stating Wyndham/Ramada reservations.

Sometimes the other sites will appear to list this resort as Wyndham/Ramada but that's just using their reservations platform to offer inventory in the worst section of the resort. The property itself is in no way a Wyndham or a Ramada property and is not affiliated with those chains in any way. Virtually all of the "Atlantic Beach Resort - A Ramada by Wyndham" listings are the Phase 3 buildings in the mosquito woods with no balconies and far from the beach.

1st season on Vacation Rental By Owner for this property but multiple reviews on airbnb for my exact same property. We only rent out one week per year so there will never be a ton of reviews. Building 18, not building 17. 18E top floor.

Feel complimentary to contact me with any questions

Vacation rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 2 Bedroom Ocean Resort Condo Peppertree Renovated has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
