As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a phenomenal 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 huge Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a giant walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar!

Strategies for getting the best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. LUXE Oceanside Beach Home w\/ Pool, Spa, Golf Cart has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. message the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
