Make yourself at home sweet home at our beautiful home in the peaceful Dolphin Ridge neighborhood of Emerald Isle. Our ocean-side three bedroom, two and a half bath home is just a three-min. walk to 25 miles of pristine beaches. Not up for the walk? Grab our golf cart and head to the private beach access. After a handsome day at the beach, rinse off in our warm outdoor shower, and head to the front or back porch for a mojito. You can also cool off in our 9x13 private salt water plunge pool. Then grab the bicycles and ride the new 11 mile bicycle path to dozens of eateries, bars, for a hike just up the road in Emerald Woods, to the grocery store, ice cream shop and stores. Once you park on you first day here you wont have to crank that engine again. Everything you need is close by. We rent our home Sunday to Sunday.

New Bern rental property booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the New Bern area:

• To start, have your group commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Surfari, beautiful home on the Crystal Coast has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often 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 shopping?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
