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 huge 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 cavernous 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 supplied 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, enormous 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, sizable 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 sizable 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

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel 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.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. 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 local stories, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.
