Welcome to "The Pelican" condo in Atlantic Beach, NC. Our place is clean and comfortable and supplied with everything you need including TVs in each bedroom, high-speed wireless internet, and a chef's kitchen. Fresh bed linens are included complimentary of charge as are bath towels, washcloths, and beach towels - pay attention to other units where these items are additional charges. We also do not charge you for additional guests up to the 6 max. limit. I can't stand staying at places that nickel and dime me with more charges.

See the broad list below of items you do not have to pack. We are equipped for you to be able to fly in with your personal items and the condo has everything you need for your enjoyment for a week or more at the beach! Also, our place is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each guest stays.

Grand open 1-level floor plan (we have an elevator so no stairs required), 3 BR / 2 full bathrooms (2 queen beds and 2 twin). All one level on the 2nd floor of the building with ELEVATOR access. Substantial chef's kitchen with everything you need to prepare great meals. Open kitchen, dining and family room with tons of light and vistas of the ocean. Sizable balcony to savor ocean vistas (ocean vistas in 9 out of 13 windows).

Our condo community is modest, so the pool won't have hordes. Note that only guests accounted for on the guest form, that are staying at the condo, can use the pool. There are only 2 buildings with 9 units each.

Note that new for future units as of 9/2023 - the HOA has restricted us not only to 2 parking spaces per unit but also for only the same 2 cars staying at the condo parking. It doesn't mean that you can't have someone over for dinner and a visit but it does mean that you can't switch out the 2 cars during your stay. The 2 cars listed on your HOA form are the only 2 cars authorized to be on the property for more than a few hours or overnight.

We are located across the street from the beach with gorgeous ocean vistas and walking distance (1 min.) to 2 beach access points, 3 eateries, a few stores and a craft beer pub including Molly's Beach Bar & Grille where you can appreciate a light meal or a drink sitting on the DoubleTree Hotel Pier with magnificant vistas.

We bought this place at end of 2020 and decided that we wanted it to be the best of what we have found in other units that we have stayed in. In the kitchen, we have spices, seasonings, condiments in the frig, and starter coffee k-cups. We prepare - so the kitchen is full of the items you if you want to prepare your favorite meals. We have comfortable furnishings to sit on and simple beach access. We have a beach cart to make it painless to bring things from your car up the elevator to the condo (we keep this one sand-complimentary) and we have another one dedicated to the beach to make your beach days easy. We always longed to find a place at the beach that we could rent each year and "know" what we were getting, - and for it to feel like a home away from home. I hope this will meet that for you!

For those who may need to work while here, we have an office chair, modest desk setups that can be used, and high-speed wireless internet. I work here for weeks at a time during the off-season of spring and fall.

If you rent our condo, we ask that you respect the tranquility and privacy of your neighbors. Most of our neighbors live in their condos and do not rent them.

Sheets for the beds

New Bern rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental 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 book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Gorgeous Ocean Views - 1 min walk to beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
