About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

This place is especially designed for the beach feels, and to really appreciate : a siesta for sure! Some of our favorite things are the patio for pretty sunrises and coffee time, the impressive vistas even inside the condo, the painless access (walk or bicycle) to EI stores and eateries, and of course, a very fast walk to the striking beach! The pool is freshly remodeled with lounge chairs and tables/chairs on the deck. We've set up the condo to be comfortable and have some nice amenities, including plantation shutters, swivel bar stools, laundry/pantry right off the kitchen, well supplied kitchen, keyless entry, and more.

The covered front entrance has room for all your beach gear (chairs, boards, beach toys). Bicycle racks are below on ground level. When you come into the condo, you'll have one queen bedroom and an attached full-sized bath with hall access. The kitchen has all your cooking and dining needs, including a 4-seater table and a bar with 3 swivel stools. Off the kitchen is the "lantry"--laundry/pantry room, with shelves, microwave, and full-size washer/dryer. The living room overlooks the ocean, and has a SMART TV with cable access. The 2nd bedroom is very cavernous, and includes 2 double beds, a chair and ottoman, and huge mirrored dresser. This bedroom has a private attached full bathroom.
The patio provides handsome ocean vistas with the polywood high top table and adirondack high top chairs.

This condo is in Queen's Court. It's not a high-rise (only 3 units tall), with elevators, and has 4 buildings. We are in the 2nd building (1 row back from ocean front), but the angle of the condos makes you have a very nearly oceanfront view and experience. The walk to the ocean is about 2 mins. from door to sand. The condo is well-kept and in a great community. Many of our neighbors live here full-time. There is not a lot of rental traffic through here, making for peaceful, calming hideaway.

Emerald Isle rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ocean Views & Well-Equipped condo, in the Heart of Emerald Isle has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
