About this Property

Appreciate second to none vistas of Bogue Sound with your whole family. Fish or boat from your private dock. Take in the sunset from one of three decks overlooking the water. With a 5 min. bicycle ride to the beach you can savor both the beach and the sound. Decorated with colorful beach decor throughout, this home is warm and inviting. With ample parking for 6 to 8 cars and a boat this home is really special and one of kind.

The kitchen was designed to resemble the cabin of a sportfishing boat and the rest of the home is decorated with an opulent coastal touch. The master bath floor is cork. There is a cavernous outside shower with a bench that has a mounted surfboard inside. There are two living areas, both with flat screen tv's and there are tv's in every bedroom expect the bunk room. An air bed can be utilized in the down stairs living area to sleep a total 12 guest.

There is a private dock with a cleaning station. You can dock your boat behind the boat lift on the left side only. The right side of the dock is not available for docking. It can be a little cumbersome if you are keeping your boat in the water for long periods of time. The boat lift can be added for an additional upfront $500/fee no matter the length of stay. The lift and dock is limited to 23' and under boats. I will personally meet you and review the operating instructions for the lift if added before unlocking the lift. The lift is currently set up for a 21' center console. The back yard is fenced in for your family pets. There is a sandbar that is visible at low tide directly across from the home that is effortlessly swimmable. This is one of my family's favorite things to do. On the sandbar you can find many shells and interesting creatures. Make sure you don't miss the sunsets from one of the 3 back decks! The garage is kept locked as owner storage.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking a perfect New Bern rental:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Charm and Breathtaking Views w\/Private Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
