This comfortable oceanfront home awaits you in the secluded sea to sound community of Beacon's Reach. It is a excellent gathering place for family and friends. Many lifetime memories will be made here, and we invite you to join in the fun! Just steps down the private boardwalk from your back door, the beach invites you to walk, swim, fish and sunbathe. Appreciate morning coffee watching dolphins and shorebirds from your private deck. Here barefoot is best, with sandy toes, and doing nothing is okay. Unwind by walking the beach, sunbathing, gathering shells and end the ideal day as you listen to the sound of the ocean lull you to sleep. For the 2015 season we have added a six (6) seat hot tub and new ground level entertainment deck.
This three-level 3,500 square foot home welcomes guests of all ages, it was designed to be a family home so is both kid and adult friendly. The elevator provides simple access for older or handicapped persons and is a blessing when moving in. The enormous kitchen and eating area have ocean vistas as does the upstairs master bedroom and roomy family gathering room. There is plenty of space for folks to prepare or just hang out at the charming bar and tons of places for kids and young adults to play without being underfoot. The family room has a 51' flat screen and all four bedrooms have either a 32' or 46'. There is a roomy outside deck with a huge teak dining table and a gas grille. The end of the boardwalk finds you at the oceanside deck and multiple steps to the peaceful beach, where you will find the ideal place to simply savor the beauty of the seashore.
If you choose to venture farther than your beach chair you'll discover plenty of activities and attractions on Bogue Banks, all within a few mins. drive. If you head straight east through Pine Knoll Shores, on the eastern tip of the island (about a 10 min. drive) stands Fort Macon, a restored and freshly-refurbished pre-Civil War fortress, the most-visited State park in North Carolina. Discover the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, located about two miles down the road in the Roosevelt Natural Area. Driving west, you will encounter the modest fishing villages of Salter Path and Indian Beach and at the far western end of the island, the community of Emerald Isle.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• To start, have your group choose dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beacon's Reach Oceanfront 4BD\/4.5BA w\/elevator. Hot Tub, Pools & Tennis Courts has 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, 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.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. 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 a note as part of your feedback.
