EXTERIOR
Savor your view from the roomy top deck or the comfort of the enclosed porch. Walk down the pathway among the Cypress trees, flowering shrubs and tall grasses to appreciate your morning coffee on the bench at the end of the dock. During an evening visit with your special drink, relax with the sunset, listen to the rocking of the water while some fish jump, and often experience a gentle breeze. Sit back, forget, and relax from the hectic demands of your daily life.

There are multiple bird species in the area that frequent the garden and water areas just outside your back door. An occasional eagle will grace you with its presence. Don't be surprised if you see some deer visiting the neighborhood during the day and evening hours.

Unwind on the back deck or on the screened in porch and take in the sounds of nature from this wooded lot with a gorgeous view of water in the distance beyond the trees. Or sit on the bench on your own private boat dock on deep waters from which you are welcome to fish or crab. Bring your boat!

You can drop your boat at the community boat launch and tie up to the dock for the rest of your stay. Telephone Northwest Creek Marina, New Bern, for more information. Downtown New Bern is just short boat-ride away.

Getting the best New Bern vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Boat Dock! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
