Tucked in the center of the Crystal Coast, our comfortable beach getaway sits ocean-front above the dune in the Ocean Club complex. Watch sunrise with coffee from our cavernous back porch; let the waves lull you to sleep as you snooze on the back-porch couch. Cook, eat and play games around the new dining room table, or snuggle down into the pillow couch to read or watch TV... Recline and read in the corner. Walk two mins. to the stairs to the beach and pool; our toy closet offers fishing poles, umbrellas, body board and a kayak; there are bicycles for rent near by; The complex has a boarded path leading to the pool and hot tub; wooden path leads to a enormous dune-top outdoor shower and deck and stairs down to the beach. Across the street we have a private complex fishing pier, and another pool and hot tub. Head to Swansboro, Beaufort, Harker's Island, or Bare Island for day trips; rent a kayak at the bridge in Swansboro; charter a fishing expedition and become your own "Old Man and the Sea" champion-- Michael Jordan fishes here; you should, too!
At nighttime, head to the outdoor hot tub that sits beneath the stars; or walk down to grab a bite and drink at Billfish; Indian Beach is secluded, uncrowded, with unspoiled beauty; watch the shrimp boats catch tonights supper, then savor the dolphins as they follow the boats in. Majestic, wild oceanic beauty at its rawest and most impressive.

Booking the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer time is high season in Indian Beach. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's New Bern vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect rental home in the New Bern area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Shimmy's Ocean Club Oceanfront Surf Shack, a comfy condo in Indian Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
