Welcome to Happy Ours! Ocean Ridge is one of those distinct and exclusive spots where the name of the street has become part of the local lore and symbolizes so much. In this case, conjuring up images of peaceful beaches, pristine waters and luxe living. The neighborhood is a prominent and favorite Atlantic Beach locale. Homes began to be constructed decades ago to be adored generation after generation— for families and beachgoers, whether year-round, for holidays or as a summer home.
Along with the ideal oceanfront location with sweeping vistas of the sand and the surf, you will find classic homes— from the modest, sweet Cape Cod style cottages to bigger, more modern designs decked out in cedar shakes like this home that flaunts more than 5,000 sq feet of light-filled space. Elegant scenery, prestige and timeless style are the unifying factors all along this single-street community.
This home was constructed to highlight the impressive surroundings and enhance the quality of life for all who enter. From the bottom to the top third floor, each level has been thoughtfully designed and laid out for ease and flow, family and friends, and the joy of coastal living.

The basement is where you’ll find the bunk room, featuring a king bed and two sets of twin bunk beds with full beds on the bottom and twins on top. This level features a full bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower.
The second level is the main floor of the home, where you will gather with guests to relax, savor meals together or plan events, big or modest. This home is the ideal place to celebrate any occasion, and the backdrop of rolling waves and sunshine will enhance any event! The gourmet kitchen and open floor plan make mingling and spreading good cheer effortless.
This level is also where you will find one of the primary bedrooms with a full master bath and walk-in tile shower. There is a powder room with a half bath in the entryway, too!
Welcome to the third floor and another primary suite with a king bed and full master bath. This floor offers an additional bedroom and king bed. This full bath includes a shower and a bathtub for those mornings or nights when you need a hot soak in the tub! The fourth bedroom has two queen beds, a full bath, a tub and shower, and even a fifth bedroom with a king-size bed that shares a bathroom with bedroom number four.
In addition to the marvelous space inside, the opportunity to savor your surroundings continues outdoors. Happy Ours is where you can while away the hours with a drink or glass of wine on porches and patios or by the pool. Unwind, take time to be you and marvel at the unbeatable Carolina sunsets while you watch the clouds float by. When it’s time to tear yourself away, there is fun to be had only a hop skip and a jump away. Head to the celebrated Circle for ice cream, hit up the local stores, visit the sharks at the NC Aquarium, or have dinner out on the town. When you stay at Happy Ours, every hour is a happy one! **Property has outdoor security cameras**

New Bern vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Home with Private Pool & Elevator (Happy Ours) has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
