Accommodations: Oceanfront Duplex with 4 Bedrooms, 3 BA,(one en suite). Sleeps 10 per side.

Escape to my economical oceanfront duplex that has striking oceanfront vistas. 2021 updates include new couch and adore seat, new single bed beds and boxsprings, new sizable TV in king bedroom, refreshed tubs in 2 bathrooms and the living area and bathrooms have been freshly painted. In February 2020 I added stainless steel appliances to the kitchen. In May I added new granite top counters and a double sink. The countertop island was extended for additional space. I also added new carpeting in the bedrooms and upstairs hall.

The home has a bright, airy, bungalow feel and is a ideal place to relax. Admire the view from the inside or step outside onto the covered porch to catch an oceanfront breeze. There is also a dune landing steps from the beach with a bench and more magnificant vistas. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the pretty beaches are never busy.

Conveniences also include hi-speed wireless service, outdoor shower and washer/dryer.

Tricks and tips to get the very best New Bern rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Duplex with Gorgeous Views has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
