SUMMARY
Formerly an animal and vegetable farm, this beautiful home sits on 10 acres and is only 2 miles from from hwy 55 and hwy 70 and not far from hwy 17. It has a roomy yard with back porch and wheelchair ramp. Surrounded by a mature forest, the home is still a short drive from New Bern's burgeoning downtown, cozy eateries, fashionable pier, and close by attractions such as local fishing, boating, bird watching, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Fort Jackson, Camp Lejeune, and Cherry Point.


THE SPACE
The home is new, but the land was farmed by my granddad and dad (and their siblings) since the early 1900’s. There were cows, horses, goats, hogs, chickens, dogs, and of course vegetables and flowers. Farming is what helped them survive the Great Depression, raise their families, and continue up to 2013 when my father sold the last goats. It really is a special place where time seems to stop and anxiety falls away. I hope you savor your stay.

This is a newer home and completely refreshed from the kitchen to the closets. There are tons of windows, which make the home bright and airy and provide vistas of the broad yard and field.

With 4 queen beds, everybody in your group will get the space and privacy they want for the price you want. The Master Suite has a queen bed, giant walk-in closet, and private full bathroom with garden tub and shower. The second bedroom has 2 queen beds and a walk-in closet. The third bedroom has 1 queen bed and a walk-in closet.

The home includes an eat in kitchen with breakfast bar and dining room, a sizable living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and laundry room.

This home is great for individuals, families, or groups. Kids are welcome, but please note the home is not kid-proofed and does not provide any infant/toddler supplies or furnishings.


GUEST ACCESS
Guests can access everything, including a entirely equipped kitchen and the washer and dryer. Please, clean what you use (dishes, stovetop, spills, etc.) and return everything to its place (games, remotes, keys, etc.)


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
To stay in this home, at least one guest should be able to open the front gate by hand. It is about 20 lbs.

The interior doors are wide enough for wheelchairs and there is a ramp on the back porch.

This is a non-smoking home.

Family Animals and farm animals formerly lived on this property.


THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I appreciate this little area because it is a safe, peaceful, close-knit community. All of the neighbors know each other and are very friendly, but there is so much land between this home and the next, that there is tons of privacy. The home is tucked away, surrounded by mature trees and forest, but still less than 2 miles from highway 55 and highway 70 and not far from highway 17. You'll never have your roads blocked off for marathons and festivals, but you'll still be able to appreciate all the downtown activity.

You'll be about 10 mins. from anything in New Bern. With fast and painless highway access, downtown is nearly a straight shot from any close by road.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in New Bern. Reserve your New Bern rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Contact the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
