Just a short walk (about 2.5 blocks) from the Atlantic Ocean, Surf Cove is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and appreciate coastal life. Tucked along a peaceful canal, you’ll spot herons wading, hear fish jumping at nighttime, and maybe even catch a sunset from the porch swing.

Inside, the living room blends modern updates with vintage beach bungalow appeal—think surf memorabilia, a wood-burning fireplace, intelligent TV, and cozy furnishings that encourage you to kick back and stay awhile. The dining area features a impressive live-edge table near the fire, with additional seating at the kitchen breakfast bar.

The kitchen is completely equipped with an electric cooktop, convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you’ll need to prepare meals for hungry beachgoers. Two sets of French doors fill the space with light and open to outdoor dining areas on both levels—ideal for gathering with family and friends.

Upstairs, you’ll find two thoughtfully styled bedrooms and a freshly refreshed guest bath. Downstairs offers a private primary suite, a den with game table, laundry room, and a selection of books and games for rainy days or cozy evenings in.

Spend your afternoons relaxing by the saltwater pool, watching wildlife from the deck, or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. With three close by beach access points—one with golf cart parking—and simple paddle access to the Sound, this is a ideal blend of ocean fun and peaceful canalfront serenity.

Please Note: A signed vacation rental agreement and valid photo ID are required to confirm your booking.

We honor our cancellation policy and strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for added tranquility of mind.

If you savor the character and charm of a classic beach bungalow with modern updates—and don't mind a few quirks—Surf Cove might just become your favorite hideaway spot.

Rental property booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your New Bern vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Waterfront Home with Private Pool - Short Walk to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
