It's time to have the vacation you've been waiting for at this impressive oceanfront home with painless public beach access. Just steps from the sand, you can take in the beauty of North Carolina's Crystal Coast. And there are no worries about bringing sand back up to the home - you can rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading inside.

When you step into the Sandfiddler Cottage, you step into a simpler time. Appreciate enchanting sunsets on the oceanfront deck or do a little soul-searching while resting under the stars on the porch swing. After a day of exploring, head back to the home for a family feast prepared in the well-equipped kitchen - listen to them all chattering around the two dining tables! After that, relax in the living area and watch a little TV or play games with the family.

There's plenty of room for the whole gang here, including a primary bedroom on the ground level and a additional room. Additional amenities include a full-size washer/dryer in the garage, complimentary WiFi, and a phone for local calls.

Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront beach cottage with large deck & W/D - dog-friendly has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
