--- ABOUT THE SPACE ---

Welcome to Seaborne - our luxury 4 bedroom/4 bath home, 900 feet from the Atlantic on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast! We have tried to think of every detail to make your stay as calming, joyful, and memorable as humanly possible! From our charming gourmet kitchen with its high-end appliances to our brand-new backyard getaway, we have sought at every turn to make your stay something special.

“The backyard was an getaway, ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach. The proximity to the beach was very convenient for us. Having access to a golf cart as well was the cherry on top.” – Carly K.

PLEASE NOTE: Your booking is not final until the signed rental agreement has been returned. The pool is only heated from April through October. More details are noted below.

MAIN FLOORING LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a magnificent open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a comfortable deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ heated, saltwater Pool and enormous Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a humongous walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is completely supplied with every known kitchen appliance, plus all the pet perks your dog could want.

The Kitchen itself features Kitchen Aid and Fisher Paykel, along with a chic gas range, a wine refrigerator and more, so every meal here, big or modest, will feel like gourmet magazine come to life!

The Bar, whether for coffees or beverages, is ideally outfitted with plenty of bar tools, glasses and all the ways to brew the ideal cup of 4 J’s (our local favorite) coffee! And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great ambiance whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic beach tunes.

“Cooking in the kitchen with my wife was fun since you had plenty of space to prep. From an instant pot, crock pot and great coffee machine, the kitchen made life simple.” – William S.

Off that is the ultimate Game Room, starting with a luxury Infinity Game Table, a big TV with fun LED lighting, and hexagon ottomans – so everybody can pull one up and join in! You’ll also find a collection of kids’s books in the cabinet.

The Carport has its own freshly added Half Bath and huge Outdoor Shower, so it’s painless to come in off the beach or step out of the pool without having to head upstairs. There’s also plenty of gear, from beach chairs to soft top surfboards, so you can load up the golf cart with your group to catch some waves or just sink your toes into the sand!

Seaborne definitely has something for everybody, especially bicycles - the locals’ favorite means of transportation, so you too can appreciate all the bicycle paths that start just off our cul-de-sac and ride to town or take in a sunset. If you’re the stay-at-home type, there’s a big hammock in the backyard with your name on it!

The spot where you can really make some striking memories though is the excellent screened-in Outdoor Kitchen off the Carport. There’s a dining table for 8, the ideal lounge-y sectional with its own 58” intelligent ROKU TV, and an countless stainless-steel counter with a prep sink and an accompanying giant freezer chest for cold drinks - or - your catch of the day!

Off the Outdoor Kitchen, there’s a Wilmington Grille, along with a firepit seating area for those nights where nothing will do but some s'mores and stories!

Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Pool~Spa~Golf Cart~Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If not, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. 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 it a point as part of your feedback.
