Appreciate second to none vistas of Bogue Sound with your whole family. Fish or boat from your private dock. Take in the sunset from one of three decks overlooking the water. With a 5 min. bicycle ride to the beach you can appreciate both the beach and the sound. Decorated with colorful beach decor throughout, this home is warm and inviting. With ample parking for 6 to 8 cars and a boat this home is really special and one of kind.

The kitchen was designed to resemble the cabin of a sportfishing boat and the rest of the home is decorated with an alluring coastal touch. The master bath floor is cork. There is a roomy outside shower with a bench that has a mounted surfboard inside. There are two living areas, both with flat screen tv's and there are tv's in every bedroom expect the bunk room. An air bed can be utilized in the down stairs living area to sleep a total 12 guest.

There is a private dock with a cleaning station. You can dock your boat behind the boat lift on the left side only. The right side of the dock is not available for docking. It can be a little cumbersome if you are keeping your boat in the water for long periods of time. The boat lift can be added for an additional upfront $500/fee no matter the length of stay. The lift and dock is limited to 23' and under boats. I will personally meet you and review the operating instructions for the lift if added before unlocking the lift. The lift is currently set up for a 21' center console. The back yard is fenced in for your family pets. There is a sandbar that is visible at low tide directly across from the home that is conveniently swimmable. This is one of my family's favorite things to do. On the sandbar you can find many shells and interesting creatures. Make sure you don't miss the sunsets from one of the 3 back decks! The garage is kept locked as owner storage.

Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Finding the best value:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best rental in the New Bern area:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Charm and Breathtaking Views w\/Private Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
