2 bedroom top-floor condo at Peppertree Atlantic Beach Resort, right on the ocean. Beachfront building 18: SEE MAP in PHOTO Section. Full kitchen, elevator, full resort activities, minigolf, indoor+outdoor pools, hot tub, tennis, washer/dryer. Walk to movie theaters, grocery, eateries, surf stores, and retail. Down to studs reno & update in 2020. Sleeps 6 (King+2 Twins+Queen Sofabed, or 7-8 if you bring an air bed to fit in twin room; worked with family of 8 once). Prime location @resort. Great for families, extended families, or just adults on vacation. Just 60 seconds walking to the beach access path.

We have multiple positive reviews on Airb&b for this property, but are also freshly on Vacation Rental By Owner. But you can find our same property with about 10 reviews there.

**Our preference is to rent out our 7 day week to guests that want it for the entire 7 days from Friday to Friday. If you wish to rent for less than 7 nights and check in or check out on other days, please feel complimentary to message and let us know what you want. The weekend nights of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the most expensive nights, and if we only rent for those, it leaves the other weekday nights as the only remaining nights which are harder for us to rent.**

Full blown beach resort. Reviews are on trip advisor. Gorgeous 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, basketball court, 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. Super convenient, and this is the prime condo location within the resort.

complimentary parking for max of 2 cars (you'll get up to 2 parking passes), walking distance to grocery, movies, eateries, and shopping at Atlantic Station. 5 mins. to Morehead City waterfront, 12 mins. to historic Beaufort.

Super convenient and brand new 2020 completely REBUILT (down to the studs) after 2018 hurricane. Renovated and refreshed 2 bedroom condo at Peppertree oceanfront resort. Top floor beachfront ocean location, so no noisy upstairs neighbors! Elevator and bags carts for groceries, beach stuff, and suitcases. Master bedroom (King bed) with master bathroom, granite double vanity, tub & shower, 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, and living area has pull out full sized sofabed. 3 flat screen TVs with cable, one in each room, complimentary wifi, entirely equipped granite counter kitchen, resort activities. 3 pools including one indoor and two outdoors, plus splash pad / sprayground plus hot tub. Go downstairs and in 60 seconds you'll be on the beach walkway. This is a VERY family friendly place. Why just rent a beach home when you can get an entire resort for the same rate?

The washers and dryers in the laundry center are now COMPLIMENTARY for all guests.

Please note that our photos have a range of years shown in the view towards the ocean from the condo. The photo captions reflect the growth and popularity of our resort beachfront location, and in addition to some showing the legacy view before 2018, they also show a handful of new single family homes constructed since the 2018 hurricane. These new homes on the dunes are adjacent to the beach access walkway. It's still an fantastic view to the ocean and walk is just as painless to get to the sand, but we wanted to fully disclose why the photos range from completely unobstructed to more homes on the dunes. And we also wanted to show how after the hurricane rebuild, that the beach access path and shelter look different compared to the main listing photo.

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

The other Peppertree listing here on Airb&b (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, top floor, 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 other cheaper "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.

2024 is our 3rd season on Vacation Rental By Owner for this property but multiple reviews on airb&b for my exact same property over the past 10 summers. We only rent out one week per year so there will never be a ton of reviews. Building 18, top floor.

Feel complimentary to contact me with any questions!

How to get the best New Bern rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in Atlantic Beach. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best New Bern vacation home:

• Start by having your family select dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 2 Bedroom Ocean Resort Condo Peppertree Renovated sleeps 6 in 4 beds has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific New Bern beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
