Make watching the sound-side sunset a ritual from the porch swing in the front, and savor vistas of the ocean, as well as the family making memories in the private pool, from the back.
Coming in from the pool deck, there is a ground-level living room, offering a roomy, recreational area to take a break from the sun. There is a huge sectional couch that offers a queen sleeper, entertainment center, ping pong table, card table, and a kitchenette, complete with an ice maker and wine refrigerator. In addition to the outdoor shower on the pool deck, there is a full-sized bath on this level, with an entrance from both the pool deck and just off the kitchenette.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect New Bern vacation property experience:

When to reserve a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanview with elevator, private pool, golf cart, in Dolphin Ridge community has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
