The ideal spot for your Atlantic Beach hideaway! This one-level, four-bedroom home is roughly 1/3 of a mile from beach access and 1/4 mile to the sound. A public fishing pier and boat launch on the sound is just one street over. You'll be three miles west of the circle at Atlantic Beach and three miles east of the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area. Fort Macon State Park is within a five-mile drive. You can also walk up the street to multiple bars, stores, and eateries, including a beach/tiki bar.

Outside, there is a sizable covered side porch with a fan, Blackstone grille, and propane fire table; a patio under the deck with a porch swing and rockers; and an elevated sundeck with sound vistas, where you can hear the ocean waves crashing and watch the sunset. There is also a putting green out front to brush up on your game between beach visits.

If you are visiting with kids or teens, this setup is ideal! The double bunk room is a fun and comfortable space. Living room plus adjacent sunroom with shuffleboard, puzzles, and games offering the option to all hang out together or have your own private space. (The fireplace is not operational.) Cozy beds, TVs in each bedroom, and bright-beachy decor make this the ideal calming vacation spot.

The eat-in kitchen is supplied with all the essentials, including an air fryer. The Blackstone grille on the covered side porch is a fun touch for those who like to prepare.

Extra perks include central air-conditioning, complimentary WiFi, and an on-site washer/dryer. Although it only offers a bath and a half inside, there is also a private outdoor shower. As an added perk, a six-person street-legal golf cart is at the home and available to rent separately during your stay.

New Bern vacation rental home tips:

When to reserve a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Booking in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Atlantic Beach:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sweet, walkable beach cottage with elevated sundeck, patio & shuffleboard has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
