This sweet beach bungalow is just steps away from the beach and in our opinion, on the best part of the island! We think you'll appreciate this home just as much as we do! It’s bright, sunny and filled with everything you’ll need to make you feel comfortable. Fresh linens and towels are supplied and new cleaning protocols are in effect!

Emerald Isle is one of our favorite places in the whole world! And this home is so close to the beach and in such a safe, cozy, peaceful neighborhood. We knew this was a home where we could build many family memories and we hope you will too! You can appreciate the relaxing sound of ocean waves from one of two decks all day long. It's so convenient to everything too! It's less than a 3 min. walk to the beach, close to eateries, stores, grocery stores, and many other attractions. The EI bicycle path leads directly to our neighborhood and you can bicycle just about everywhere! There's a newly modernized playground for the kids in our neighborhood just down the block. We've even supplied the closet with games and books, and the kitchen has everything you'll need to feel at home. For your tranquility of mind, we also have an AWESOME property assistant close by should any problems arise during your stay.

(This is a NON-SMOKING AND NO FAMILY PETS home.)

Tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• To find the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the best New Bern rental:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Bright & Clean Coastal Cottage - Just Steps to the Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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 review.
