Looking for a restful vacation, with just enough to keep the family entertained, but not be overwhelmed with hordes and traffic? Located on a peaceful island, just off the North Carolina Coast, this comfortable, 3 bedroom, 4 bath home is over 2300 square feet.

The home has 2 unique features - it is sound front with a walkway through the woods to the pier into the sound and has 2 separate living areas - one on the first floor and one on the third floor.

The top (3rd!) floor is the main living area, opening onto a sound front deck, with Adirondack chairs, and a grille. (and spectacular vistas!) The interior includes an open space kitchen, counter bar with 4 seats, dining area that seats 8, a full bath, and 2 separate seating areas! The main seating area has a enormous screen LG intelligent TV with traditional seating (couch, 2 side chairs) Off to the side, also facing the sound, is a reading/sleeping area. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, and 2 comfortable chairs and a bookshelf - (this is a public space and offers NO privacy - ideal for teens or kids, or the early riser in the family).
The kitchen is equipped with all standard appliances and dishes/silverware, pots and pans for feeding your crowd. You will also find enough basics - paper towels, TP, paper plates/cups, dish soap, laundry soap, coffee, sugar, etc -(you get the picture!) so you don't need to dash off to the store.

The middle floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. - complete with towels and clean linens! All bedrooms come with flatscreen TV's with Roku/internet access. (Please use your own credentials for specialty TV channels) The master has a queen sized bed and a 4 piece, ensuite, with jetted tub and 5 foot shower! The 2nd bedroom also has a queen sized bed. Both open onto the middle sound side deck with outdoor seating. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk with a "full" sized bottom and a single upper. The washer and dryer are on this floor for handy access.

The ground floor can be used nearly as a separate suite. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, a full bath, and a separate TV/living area with couch and loveseat, as well as access to the backyard. It has interior stairs to the top 2 floors but if needed, the other floors can be accessed by the outside decks..

The home's private pier leads to the sound for fishing, clamming, sailing. It is a little shallow for bigger speedboats, except at high tide, but it is great for modest kids, sailing, kayaking, jet skis, and sunset viewing. (We do NOT provide any recreational cars......) There is a local marina just 1 mile away in Salter Path (Indian Beach) where you launch water cars....and a rental place less than 2 miles away.

And there's more!....Entertainment!

The ocean/beach access is just 3 tenths of a mile away in Salter Path. It is recommended that folks with modest kids drive and make the 3 min. trip with toys, chairs, etc. since it is on the main road. It is a well-kept secret, because even on holiday weekends, it is simple to find parking and a 'spot' on the beach with some space to spread out your towels, and family - no "elbow to elbow", listening to someone else's music. It has outside showers, bathrooms, and grilles, and a good number of parking spaces, many of which are shaded. The beach is wide and sandy, and the water has a gradual slope out, providing tons of safe places to swim and skim board. (The home has an outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off sandy feet.)

The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is just 2 miles away and provides phenomenal viewing, touch tanks, nature trails, as well as programs for all age levels!

A modest amusement park and 2 theaters are within a few mins. drive and provide change of pace activities when you a need a break from the sun, sea and salt. There also golf courses -https://www.emeraldislerealty.com/blog/top-emerald-isle-nc-area-golf-courses

Everything you would need for a peaceful vacation is less than 15 mins. away

Morehead City, Cape Carteret, and Beaufort are modest close by (less than 20 miles!) towns with tons of appeal, as well as art galleries, local museums, antique stores and modren shopping. New Bern, NC - the first NC state capital- is 45 mins. away and has a real castle, and many historic amenities.

We do not wish to be rude or unwelcoming, but.....
WE DO NOT RENT TO GROUPS OF UNRELATED FOLKS.
And a Disclaimer:
Please be aware that we are in a private subdivision and are responsible to our HOA. There is limited parking - 3 in the driveway, 1 on the street - max..... (YOU MAY NOT PARK IN ANY NEIGHBOR'S DRIVE WHETHER THEY APPEAR TO BE AT HOME OR NOT!)

Our top New Bern rental property booking tips:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Single family home, but space for 2 families or multigenerational stays! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
