~~~ THE BEACH IS JUST STEPS FROM YOUR DOOR ~~~

FROM THE FRONT DOOR, TURN LEFT AND THE BEACH IS RIGHT THERE, TURN RIGHT AND IT'S JUST A QUICK WALK ON THE BOARDS TO THE POOL.

Bright and airy oceanfront townhouse is ideal for your family holiday hideaway. Sea Glen is a modest, peaceful, 38 unit complex located on the barrier island of Bogue Banks. It is located in the maritime forest right next to the 200 acre Teddy Roosevelt Preserve. No high rises here. Beach is wide and uncrowded. Friendly, family ambience. You can meet and mingle with the other Sea Glen visitors or maintain your privacy - the choice is yours.

Our beach home is very tidy and attractively furbished. Many of our renters have commented on how very dazzling our place is. The Master Bedroom has a full private bath, queen-size bed and balcony WITH WONDERFUL VIEW OF SEA, BEACH AND TEDDY ROOSEVELT PRESERVE. AT NIGHT YOU CAN SEE THE CAPE LOOKOUT LIGHTHOUSE FLASHING IN THE DISTANCE. There are two other bedrooms - one with two twin beds, the other with a full. These rooms share another full bath. Downstairs there is a entirely-supplied kitchen, dining room, sunroom, enormous living room, plus a half bath. As the beach is south-facing, you can relax on the outdoor space and watch spectacular sunrises or sunsets or spy a dolphin or two.

Although Sea Glen is cloistered and peaceful, it is not off the beaten path. Within one mile there are eateries, amusements (miniature golf, bumper boats and go carts), stores, kayaking, parasailing, jet-skiing, gas station, library, and post office. Also, the North Carolina Aquarium is only half mile away, located in the Roosevelt Preserve on the bay side of the island. They offer varied activities all year round for all ages plus walking nature trails.

We started coming to Sea Glen as renters in 1991 with our young sons. We liked it so much, we kept coming back (sometimes twice a year) until we finally bought our place in 1996. We have tried to make our beach home a agreeable and peaceful place to be. Please e-mail us with your questions. Come give North Carolina’s Crystal Coast a try. We know you’ll like it here and look forward to visiting again and again.

Choosing an Properly-Sized Rental

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Bear in mind that a lot of homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room space. It is important to determine what is most appropriate for the company. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly accessible on the internet. If not, communicate with the property manager before you book.

What Exactly Are You Prepared to Spend?

Many rental properties are advertised with a cost range. Determine the price for your desired trip. It might be at the high end of the range. If multiple groups or loved ones are sharing the cost, always make sure each person understands their obligation and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to pay. A single individual in your party will have to be in charge of collecting repayments and agreeing to responsibility for the complete rental cost at time of reservation.

Let's Discuss Amenities

What amenities is your group looking for? Is a screened porch a necessity? Would you like to be far from the crowds, or close to civilization? Are extras like beach chairs, barbecue grills, umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental property payment? Gather a list of "needs and wants" from your company to help narrow your search to the most suitable property.

Accessability

Do a few members of your crew have specialized needs? If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are necessary, include that into your search. Most property listings will include a list of amenities.

Think About 4-Legged Family Members?

Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "New Bern local vacation rentals" for local property management companies. Local agencies usually have a unique collection of rental properties daily and weekly.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to make certain that the rental has everything required. If something is missing, the rental management company may know of very similar homes that better suit your wishes and budget..

Some rental owners will negotiate rates, and some will not. If the rate isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. The off-season offers your greatest chance to make a deal for a lower rate.

During your Stay

• Photograph on your arrival. Record the condition of the rental property right away. Contact the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a difference of opinion about liability later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will probably be helpful.
• Ask questions. You might need instructions for a gas fireplace, TV or hot tub. Get in touch with your home manager. They are there to help. A phone call can save hours of hassle.
• Remember to respect your nearby neighbors. Residents more often than not live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a vacation considerably more enjoyable.
• Ask a local. Local people can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best spots for wildlife?
• Make sure that you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation rental secured when you are away, just like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your possessions. Sweep all the rooms in the home for forgotten items. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cupboards, patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Once everything is out, perform a walk-through of the property to make certain no damage occurred during your remain. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many vacation rental web sites ask for testimonials after your stay is complete. Property owners and property managers will thank you for glowing reviews. If anything was unsatisfactory and they failed to correct it in a acceptable manner, or when the rental home was not as described, you may want to note that as part of your review.

Learn from your Experience

Hold a debrief with your family. How did they feel about the property? If everything was perfect, next year's vacation planning is going to be relatively easy. Maybe the rental home wasn't ideal, and you'll better understand how to improve your search for the next trip.
