About this Property

Our pool is open but the HOA Board has put restrictions on its use due to the Covid-19 Phase 2 re-opening regulations mandated by the State. The restrictions include limiting the amount of people who may be in the pool or pool area at any one time. If you request to rent, we will send the full list of requirements when we approve your renting, so you have that information to help you decide to accept or not.

Welcome and thanks for stopping by. We weren't able to offer our place for rent in 2019 due to damage by Hurricane Florence but we are back and better for the 2020 season. So come on in and check us out. Hope you like what you see and choose to stay. Email or call with any questions...we're glad you came. Janet & Bill

~~~ 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. Amicable, family mood. 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 appealing 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 completely-supplied kitchen, dining room, sunroom, sizable 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 nice 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.

Oftentimes, the most challenging part of organizing your trip is figuring out where to search, and when. Once the big decisions are resolved, everything else is simpler.

How Much Vacation rental Do You Need?

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Remember that a lot of rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living area. You'll need to determine what is most appropriate for the family. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly accessible on the internet. If not, communicate with the property manager before you reserve the home.

What Are You Willing to Spend?

The majority of rentals are advertised with a price range. Confirm the cost for your desired stay. It may be at the top end of the range. If a few groups or relatives are sharing the cost, confirm that each person knows their obligations and has approved a maximum they are prepared to pay. One individual in your family needs to be given the task of getting repayments and accepting responsibility for the whole rental price at time of booking.

Its All About Amenities

What amenities is your family looking for? Do you want a vacation property with patio kitchen? Do you wish to be far from the crowds, or close to civilization? Are items like beach chairs, grills, umbrellas, carts or coolers available and included in your rental home charge? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and preferences" from your party to help narrow your search to the most suitable home.

Special Conditions

Elderly family members will appreciate you for not renting a stairs-only condo on the Third floor. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are necessary, factor that into your search. Almost all rental home listings will include a list of amenities.

Have You Considered Furry Family Members?

Remember to include your pets. Animals are welcome at a number of rentals, but guidelines differ. Type of pet, size and breeds might be controlled. Make sure that you study agreements and contracts carefully. Extra charges may apply when animals are added.

It Is Time to Search

After the place, dates and family members are decided, search multiple sources for the best vacation rental selection. In combination with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "New Bern local vacation rentals" for local vacation rental management companies. Local agencies will have a unique assortment of vacation homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to ensure the rental has everything that you need. If lacking, the property management company might know of comparable homes that suit your preferences and budget..

Although not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. The off-season offers your best chance to negotiate a lower rate.

Study The Agreement

• Power bills
• Internet Connectivity
• Telephone service
• Hot Tub Heating
• Pay Per View Movies
• Housekeeping
• Trash Pickup (and which day?)
• Maintenance policies
• Check in & Check Out Key Exchange
• Parking Fees

Get a total that includes state taxes, pet and other additional fees.

Cancellation Policies

Ensure that you be aware of the cancellation policy prior to booking. Vacation rental management companies and home owners commonly offer their guests the option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance protects the renter against emergencies and weather events, It gives peace of mind should catastrophe strike.

Complete the Booking

Keep Your Property Manager's Info

Congrats! All that is left is making the most of your visit!

During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, create a record of any problem areas of the rental. We also suggest immediately getting in touch with the rental manager with a report of any wear and tear, together with your request for any required fixes. This can protect against disagreements during check out.
• You could need instructions for a gas fireplace, TV or jacuzzi. Get in touch with your property manager. They are there to assist. A brief phone call avoids many hassles.
• Don't forget to be a good next-door neighbor. Natives will be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Natives are a good source of advice. Who better to ask where to get the best chicken wings, have a great date night, or the best places for shopping?
• Enjoy your stay! Be sure to protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation rental locked up when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Checking Out

• Check to make sure you've packed all your possessions. Sweep every room in the house for left-behind items. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Make a point to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. When possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property owner present. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your vacation rental? Just about all property management companies and rental search sites allow customers to offer feedback. If the rental and/or property manager was excellent, they will appreciate your positive reviews. If anything was wrong and they did not fix it in a reasonable manner, or when the property wasn't as described, you will want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
