Every room has a ceiling fan and Intelligent TV, and all three floors have separate A/C controls. All bed linens including the comforters, shams, and throw pillows will be newly laundered after each stay.

You should be able to park 7 cars in the driveway on our side of the duplex.

Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are full-time residents and other visitors around this rental.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently 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 magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book your prefectrental:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Escape - New, Completely Renovated Oceanfront Duplex has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective 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 comments.
