Sands Villas Resort is a peaceful gated resort located on the east end of the island, about a mile from the Morehead City Bridge/Causeway. Located high on the island, this condo has vistas of water on both sides-the ocean and the sound. This condo is Ocean front. The resort has a private walkway through the dunes to the wide white sandy beach. This is a public beach with no lifeguard but the police patrol somewhat regularly. As a resort guest, during your stay you may appreciate the indoor and outdoor pool, hottub, sauna, exercise room, tennis/pickle ball court, playground, basketball goal and ample parking for two cars and a boat,

For your safety, this condo is part of a private gated community, so please display your parking tag when parking in the resort and bring your amenities tag with you when you are appreciating the pool, gym, ball courts, or grilles. (This helps security identify you as an invited guest.) *To avoid a penalty fee, please make you return all parking and luxury tags back to the kitchen counter before checking out. (Thank you)

There are walking/bicycle paths that take you to Fort Macon. This condo is also less than a mile to Fort Macon, the Oceanana Pier, Amos Mosquitos, Island Grille, and The Circle /Causeway Bridge. Therefore, this condo is a relatively short walk to most things. You can decide to travel by road, sand, or sidewalks, depending on the adventure you choose.

While there are a lot of things to do at Atlantic Beach, NC, further down the island, you will find a Food Lion, the Aquarium, town parks, library, mini golf, bumper boats, bowling, arcades, waterslides, stores, eateries, movies, and more. (Emerald Isle is the most western beach on the island.)

Back across the bridge to Morehead City (Hwy 70) you will find more grocery stores, the regional hospital, chain stores and eateries. Downtown Morehead is a great place to find good seafood and watch the big fish come in to be weighed. (This is the home of the Big Rock Fishing Tournament held every June, and the Annual Seafood Festival held every October)

Then a little further east over the next bridge, is Beaufort-a cozy historic sailing town where you will find the Smith Field Airport, county courthouse, historic homes, exotic yachts, museums, cute stores and even more great eateries.

Our top New Bern rental property booking tips:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking the right New Bern rental:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. ROCK' N VIEW of ocean & a palm treed pool-Tennis, Gym, jacuzzi & 2nd Pool indoor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
