HELLO SUMMER! My wife and I invite you to view our home and hopefully make it your summer stay. Our home is in amazing location, set back from the street and surrounded by mature trees giving a private feel, but only a short walk to the beach. The land mass here is not very wide, only 5 rows of homes from the beach to the main road and 1 row to the sound. That means there is no rush to get to the beach, sleep in; plenty time to find a great spot. The beach is sizable and most days the water has a glistening emerald glow. Also a new beach access was constructed in 2017 and located close to the home. Our home features a roomy and open reverse floor plan with ceilings vaulted eleven feet. New for this year is all three bathrooms have been upgraded with vanities, counter tops, water fixtures, led lighting and toilets. The master bath also has a new enlarged shower. The living room has new reclining couches and the 1st floor entry has all new led lighting fixtures. Lastly the top deck is now finished with composite railing and decking.The top deck is now bare feet freindly and just a great spot to hang out The kitchen is roomy and entirely outfitted with everything needed to whip up a great meal, while watching the waves. There is seating for six at the kitchen peninsula. The main feature of the dining area is a handmade reclaimed wood table, that seats six comfortably and still have a nice view of the ocean.. After dinner hit the couches and watch the 55 inch TV. All the TV’s have HD cable and Wi-Fi is throughout the home. Better yet, grab a drink and step out onto the deck and just relax, watch the waves and listen to that ocean. Also on this level are a half bath and a huge pantry.The 3 bedrooms are located on the first floor. We have a master with a king size bed, memory foam bed, attached bath, sizable closet and a wall mounted 40 inch flat screen TV . This room has access to the first floor deck. Second bedroom features a queen size bed ,memory foam bed, huge closet and a wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. This room also has access to the first floor deck. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, a modest closet and a wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. All the bedrooms feature ceiling fans. The main bathroom is also on this level and has a tub/shower combo. The main entry is on the ground level. As you enter the home you come into a laundry area/catch all, great place to drop all the beach gear. One flight up and you're on the bedroom level. Outside we have a enormous private outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a nice seating area under the home. Also, we have a large picnic table and a gas grille, great for a fast outdoor lunch. Anyone making a trip to the beach knows how valuable that packing space in the car is, so we have beach chairs and umbrellas for you to use. We have plenty of parking and all the exterior lighting is dusk to dawn, making it safer coming and going at nighttime. We are located roughly 3 miles from the center of town, close enough to bicycle and discover. We are renting Sunday to Sunday. This year we added towels and linens into the booking fee, if you don't need them, let us know and they will be removed before you book. We try very hard to keep our place refreshed, clean and comfortable for our guest. Please read our reviews and feel complimentary to contact Stephanie with any questions. Thanks for looking and we hope to hear from you. John & Steph

How to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your New Bern vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Location, charm, and convenience! Come stay and see for yourself! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
