HERE’S WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PROPERTY:

THE LOCATION: Ocean Club is the ideal place for a private escape. Located between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, you'll savor the simple life in Indian Beach. Unwind on pristine and peaceful beaches, kayak on the sound, and have some fun at the top-rated mini golf-course right down the road. The best thing is that you're a fast 4-min. drive to Emerald Isle or a 10-min. ride to Atlantic Beach. There is so much to do from this comfy condo, yet it's so painless to slip away.

THE VIEW: It's what sold us on the condo! You'll be greeted by a breath-taking, expansive view from the penthouse condo. It feels like you're right on the beach. Parlor on the sizable, 27-foot balcony and listen to the waves roll-in. Dunes span between E-building condo balconies and the sand, with no walkways or pool area obstructing your view. Dolphins are frequently seen playing in the water.
*Bonus, you can see the sound from the front door and deck, so cool!

THE PROXIMITY!!: E-building has marvelous vistas and super simple access to the beach and pool (see map). With only 2 beach and pool access ramps, E-building is as close to the access points as you can get. This makes rounding-up the kids or coming in for a quick snack easy! The unit is close to the elevator and covered + uncovered parking spaces. Oh, and did we mention there is a private storage closet so you can drop your beach trolley on the bottom floor... no need to lug all those sandy items upstairs!

THE SPACE: Plenty of room for 6-8 guests, no matter the age. The kitchen has been extended 18 inches for more counter and storage space. The third bedroom is also more cavernous than similar units, so everybody will be cozy. Dining area has water-resistant seating with glass table-top, so you can relax. The unit has been colorfully decorated with coastal décor for an all-around good time! Sleeps 6-8.

THE COMPLEX: The Ocean Club has so much to offer! The outdoor pool is heated (except mid Jan - March, dates vary), kiddy pool, hot tubs, exercise room, and direct beach access. We are located on the ocean side, but don’t forget to check out the sound side! Sound side is just across the street and features newly constructed long-pier, enormous decks over the sound, kayak access and storage, another pool and hot tubs, and tons of shady trees and nature. Check out the posted information on coastline revitalization.

Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Indian Beach. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking the rightrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. ONCE UPON A TIDE: Top Floor, Oceanfront, Prime Location, Pool, Linens included has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
