We fell in appreciate with this home the moment we saw it. It had everything one would want in a home and more! If you are looking for the beach experience of a life time, you will find it at Ocean Splendor. A week here will feel as though you are in the comfort of your own home, but with the advantage of a beach at your doorsteps. This is a great place for a getaway or a place to entertain. The options are countless. That's why we have numerous families that have been visiting with us over multiple years.

Endless Activities:
Ocean Splendor accommodates the most casual to the most active. Want to snuggle up to a good book? There is no better place to savor a good book at either the beach, the pool or one of the decks overlooking the gentle waves of the Atlantic. Prefer to exercise? A home gym could start you day, then off to swimming in the heated pool. The afternoon could be set aside for a long walk on the beach and a game of pool to respond to those competitive juices. Prefer to spend the day cooking a gourmet meal? The kitchen is designed for that. Sub Zero and Wolf stainless steel appliances makes cooking an memorable experience. There are two enormous bedrooms on the main living floor and five other bedrooms on the first floor. Six of the seven have private baths.

Privacy :
Want a place to spread out and spend some peaceful time? You can literally get lost in this home. With over 10,000 square feet of home and decks, there is plenty of room for even the biggest of groups.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best New Bern rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might 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 area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Luxury Oceanfront Home with Pool, Elevator, Theater, and Chef's Kitchen has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
