Two additional second floor bedrooms include queen beds and share a hall bath. The third-floor guest room on this level also offers a queen bed and a wardrobe in lieu of a closet. On the first floor, you’ll find a game and bunk room that includes a full-twin bunk.

The roomy third floor is an open floor plan, including the family room, a brightly lit and well-supplied kitchen that includes a granite countertop and a dishwasher (of course…who wants to wash dishes on vacation?), plus access to the top-level deck.

We provide linen service with your stay, including entirely made beds; two bath towels per person, plus hand towels and wash cloths; bathmats for all bathrooms; and two kitchen towels.

Please follow posted rules for golf cart use; golf carts are only for neighborhood use, they aren’t allowed on Coast Guard Road.

We welcome your dogs, up to 2 allowed with a $150 non-returnable fee per pet. Emerald Isle accepts dogs on the beach, though they must be on a leash (owner, too!). You’ll find pickup bags at the beach access so you can clean up after your pet and keep our beach clean.

Please note that this is a non-smoking property.

We’re new to Vacation Rental By Owner in 2022 after transitioning to a new property manager. We’ve owned and rented this property since 2013. If you’re familiar with our home, you’ll notice multiple improvements for this season. Already complete: we refreshed the blue bedroom with a new bedspread, replaced numerous pillows (every bed has shams as well as cased pillows), replaced select curtains (to include room darkening curtains in the yellow bedroom to help you sleep later), and in the kitchen we replaced pots and pans and added baking pans. Coming soon, we’ve scheduled new exterior paint, a new sliding door to the second floor deck, plus a new hot tub cover with a lift; we’re also re-upholstering our “Monkey Chair” and couch cushions, as well as repainting the yellow bedroom (a slightly softer yellow). Some of these scheduled activities might be done already if not for supply chain issues. We’ll post new photos as we progress.

Emerald Isle vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pet Friendly 3rd Row Duplex in Spinnaker's Reach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
