Near the Sea we forget to count the days... It will be simple to lose track of time when you stay in Sea Notes, a warm, fun, & effervescent Almost Oceanfront home.

Sea Notes is a 6-bedroom home, with 6-full and 2-half-baths, and you won't have to worry about trekking anything up and down the stairs because it has an Elevator that is available from the Ground Level all the way to the top.

The min., whimsical details and treatments this home extends are not to be missed, even down to the oval, nickle door knobs. And getting to the beach is painless! Beach access is directly across the street (see photo) but if you don't want to spend all of your time at the beach, there is a elegant Pool and Hot Tub at your disposal.

The first thing you will notice upon entering Sea Notes, which you will find ample throughout this home, is the fanciful artwork, object art, and bespoke-painted furnishings. It is obvious that great care was taken to insure that each room resonates a theme.

When you enter Sea Notes, at Ground Level, the first rooms you see are the bright and fun Media and Game Rooms. The Media Room is decorated in lively primary colors and furnished with a Cherry, suede-like sectional and over-sized, Denim blue chair. The walls are full of sea life, from the entertaining musical frogs to the brilliantly colored fish making their way through sea reeds. Next door is the Game Room - in the middle of the Game Room sits a Fire Engine Red Pool Table, and is cornered by a deep blue-tiled Kitchenette, with a Microwave and Fridge. Next to the Pool Table is a impressive, hand-crafted bench that was created by a local wood worker. It has an Ocean Wave-styled back and huge blue fish armrests, ideal for a home at the beach!

Navigate over to the spirited sailboats and stripes-themed bedroom, located next to the Media Room, with a Double Twin Bunk Set and a Twin Bunk Set...it is a ideal place for the kids. The adjoining bathroom is complimentary with its brightly painted walls and marine-themed decorations and the kayak paddle towel bar is a ideal touch! Even the stairways are enchanting! Both of the stairways are brightly painted, and are full of marine-themed knick-knacks and furnishings, and the first stairway is even painted with a gorgeous marine life mural! You'll adore to wake up in the "Tequila Sunrise" Bedroom!

The "Tequila Sunrise" Bedroom is located on Level One and is located with a King bed, with a sizable bamboo headboard shaped into a pretty sunrise and "Tequila Sunrise" lyrics painted on both sides! The sunny Melon walls in this bedroom are a sublime backdrop to the deco-style, hand-painted furnishings and cheery, colorful bed coverings. The connecting bathroom has a Jacuzzi bathtub, private toilet and an etched glass stand-up shower, with a complimentary rising sun backdrop over the lavatories.

On the way to the 2nd bedroom, on Level One, there is so much to take-in as you walk through the delightful "marine life" hallway and over the over-sized and brightly colored fish-shaped area rug! In the 2nd bedroom, the "Summer Time" room, there is a King bed, and an abundance of eclectic art adorning the walls. The furnishings have a tropical, Indonesian-inspired feel and are a great match for the bamboo and additional treatments found throughout the room. The full-bath, in this room, is unusually bright and "beachy," with fish spouting air bubbles from the Melon walls.

The "Bali Hai" bedroom, also on Level One, is named for the famed and fantastic musical "Bali Hai." The sheet music to "Bali Hai" is framed and hung against deep Salmon walls. Also making this bedroom special are the other tropically-inspired treatments, such as, the Raffia Hula bedskirt on the King bed, which is also drapped with charming mosquito netting over the top of the bamboo headboard, the Raffia Hula skirt shower curtain in the bathroom, and Indonesian-inspired object art.

The kids will be crazy about the "Surfini Safari" bedroom! "Surfini Safari" is also on Level One accepting the kids easy access to the adults on the trip. The Twin and Double/Twin Bunk Sets are bedecked with lively striped bedcoverings which are made even brighter against the Tangerine walls. The Surfboard mirror and Surfboard handles, a unique addition to the chest of drawers, match ideally with the beachy scenes found in the adjoining full-bath. This room is so kidcentric there are even colorful footstools at the lavatories!

The bedroom on Level Two is definitely bright & splendid! On the gorgeous wood floor sits a King bed which is adorned with delightful designer bedcoverings in Persimmon, Melon & Butterscotch, against Antique White head and foot boards. The adjoining full-bath has a Jacuzzi Tub, private water closet, and separate glass shower. The real highlight of this room, and a tribute to the Island, are the enchanting murals decorating the walls...one of a delightful mermaid swimming with a modest school of fish and the other, doves carrying a flowing banner over the bed that reads, "I have never felt so complimentary as when I'm listening to the Song of the Sea." This is a special vacation home and the Homeowner has made sure it stays that way. Stay at Sea Notes and find out for yourself what makes this place so fantastic!

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Sea Notes, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
