Atlantic Beach, NC. Guests are sure to savor a memorable vacation in this cedar shake, all-wood interior, completely furnished, 4 bedroom/ 4.5 bath beach home. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, the others are furnished with a queen-sized bed, 2 twin beds and an additional sizable bedroom featuring 2 doubles. The home sleeps 8-10 comfortably. The indoor spaces feature original artwork, unique furnishings, and the kitchen is equipped with nearly new appliances and cookware. Located on the second row, the beach is just steps away. On the roomy front porch, guests can appreciate ocean vistas, cool breezes and pretty sunsets. And the best nap/ book reading in the world is to be found while calming on the front porch hanging bed. There is also a enormous side screened porch, back deck & outdoor shower.

When not on the wide, soft sand beach (less than a three-min. walk), enjoy close by attractions such as cycling in various parts of Bogue Island, touring historic Fort Macon State Park, taking boat excursions (or your own boat) to Cape Lookout National Seashore and Lighthouse and other close by islands, seeing weekly concerts at Fort Macon, visiting the colonial town of Beaufort and its waterfront scenery and eateries, the NC Aquarium, and Morehead City eateries and nightlife, savoring a Sunset drink at the bar located at the end of the close by Oceana Fishing Pier which gives a expansive view of the coastline, or water activities including kayaking, canoeing, and surfing.

The water remains warm enough for swimming well after Labor Day so consider a long-weekend as fall begins. In winter, enjoy seeing the sun set directly over the Atlantic Ocean due to the island's orientation along the coast and the location of the sun. A sight to see!

Tips for getting the best Atlantic Beach vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking the rightrental:

• First and foremost, have your family choose a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Atlantic Beach Classic Family Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
