Come relax at one of the most special condos in New Bern. This 2 BR/ 2 BA unit has balconies facing the marina that are prime for calming. The side balcony that faces the fishing pier and kayak launch is a great spot to savor morning coffee.

Just 20 mins. from the airport and downtown New Bern, this sailboat and golf community is a jewel. We are a short 1 hr 15 mins from Atlantic Beach and the NC Aquarium. The appealing town of Oriental is only 40 mins away.

The space
We created this space to be a relaxing hideaway. It is the kind of place where you will adore doing tons of interesting things or just doing nothing. Read a book in the balcony breezes, swim at the pool, walk around historic downtown New Bern, fish, golf, or stay in and work from "home." Everything is better here!

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire condo. They also have access to the Rec Center amenities and need to call them directly to schedule. Access may be limited due to Covid. Community activities include putt putt, tennis, basketball, golf, swimming, gym, kayak & bicycle rental plus great running trails.

Other things to note
There is a modest boat ramp, kayak launch space and fishing pier next to our building. A bigger boat ramp is located just mins. away via a different street in our community. Guests are welcome to use these. If you plan to bring a boat please let us know in advance so we can obtain a Boat Ramp Pass for you. Kayaks, fishing poles and canoes can be rented from Stillwater Kayaks (a 5 min walk).

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the perfect rental in the New Bern area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. The Sandpiper has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
