Welcome to your vacation beach hideaway in the private Spinnaker’s Reach neighborhood! The neighborhood includes a community pool (across from the beach access), as well as community access to Bogue Sound in neighboring Spinnaker’s Landing.

Our home is a third row oceanside duplex with a cavernous reverse floor plan that sleeps 11 in 5 bedrooms. The second-floor master suite includes a king bed, private deck access, and a soaking tub with separate shower in the bathroom. 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-outfitted 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.

Our amenities include Wi-Fi connectivity, a gas grille, dumbwaiter, full-size hot tub, hot/cold outdoor shower, full-size washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, as well Roku or Intelligent TVs in 3 bedrooms. The family room includes a sizable Intelligent TV and a DVR player, along with an assortment of games and puzzles for rainy days. We also provide a golf cart for your convenience. 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 numerous improvements for this season. Already complete: we refreshed the blue bedroom with a new bedspread, replaced multiple 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best rental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Pet Friendly 3rd Row Duplex in Spinnaker's Reach has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
