Welcome to Happy Ours on Ocean Ridge — one of those distinct and exclusive spots where the name of the street is part of the local lore and symbolizes so much. In this case, it conjures up images of peaceful beaches, pristine waters and luxe living. The neighborhood is a prominent and favorite Atlantic Beach locale. Homes began to be constructed decades ago to be appreciated generation after generation— for families and beachgoers, whether year-round, for holidays or as a summer home.

Along with the ideal oceanfront location with sweeping vistas of the sand and the surf, you will find classic homes— from the modest, sweet Cape Cod style cottages to bigger, more modern designs decked out in cedar shakes like this home that flaunts more than 5,000 sq feet of light-filled space. Gorgeous scenery, prestige and timeless style are the unifying factors all along this single-street community.

This home was constructed to highlight the handsome surroundings and enhance the quality of life for all who enter. From the bottom to the top third floor, each level has been thoughtfully designed and laid out for ease and flow, family and friends, and the joy of coastal living.

The basement is where you’ll find the bunk room, featuring a king bed and two sets of twin bunk beds with queen beds on the bottom and twins on top. This level features a full bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower.

The second level is the main floor of the home, where you will gather with guests to relax, savor meals together or plan events, big or modest. This home is the ideal place to celebrate any occasion, and the backdrop of rolling waves and sunshine will enhance any event! The main living area is all windows and light with an marvelous amount of space that make mingling and spreading good cheer effortless. This floor includes a gourmet kitchen, dining and living areas a flat-screen TV over the mantel, and additional comfortable seating that faces the sea — the ideal place to have your coffee in the morning. This level is also where you will find one of the primary bedrooms with a full master bath and walk-in tile shower. There is a powder room with a half bath in the entry, too!

Welcome to the third floor and another primary suite with a king bed and full master bath. This floor offers an additional bedroom and king bed. This full bath includes a shower and a bathtub for those mornings or nights when you need a hot soak in the tub! The fourth bedroom has two queen beds, a full bath, a tub and shower, and even a fifth bedroom with a king-size bed that shares a bathroom with bedroom number four.
In addition to the exceptional space inside, the opportunity to savor your surroundings continues outdoors. Happy Ours is where you can while away the hours with a drink or glass of wine on porches and patios or by the pool. The striking thing is... dips in the pool are possible nearly any time of year with heated water. As long as it's 50° or more, jump on in! Or, hit the hot tub and soothe your aches and woes away! While you're at it, marvel at the unbeatable Carolina sunsets while you watch the clouds float by. When it’s time to tear yourself away, there is fun to be had only a hop skip and a jump away. Head to the celebrated Circle for ice cream, hit up the local stores, visit the sharks at the NC Aquarium, or have dinner out on the town. When you stay at Happy Ours, every hour is a happy one!

Tips and Tricks to get the best New Bern vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Home with Private Pool & Elevator (Happy Ours) has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
