Atlantic Beach just made #16 in the list of Top 100 Beaches in the United States, beating out even beaches in Hawaii! Truly a hidden gem, as this part of the island doesn't have public access, beyond a few cars, so it's just folks staying right there. https://www.wect.com/2023/06/21/100-best-beach-towns-us/

My favorite spot in the home is the massive 36' x 12' deck with outdoor dining table, giant sectional seating, and fire table to savor as the sun goes down. I appreciate that I can hear the waves crash from here.

Things To Do:
• Fort Macon State Park: This fort dates back to the 1800s, offers guided tours, hiking trails, & picnic areas.
• Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores: See a wide variety of marine life & exhibits.
• Water Sports: Surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, & jetskiing.

Finding the best Atlantic Beach rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your New Bern rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Barefoot Beach North: Spectacular Family Beach Retreat in Atlantic Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
