MAIN FLOORING LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a incredible open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a comfortable deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ heated, saltwater Pool and enormous Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a humongous walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is entirely outfitted with every known kitchen appliance, plus all the pet perks your dog could want.

The Kitchen itself features Kitchen Aid and Fisher Paykel, along with a chic gas range, a wine refrigerator and more, so every meal here, big or modest, will feel like gourmet magazine come to life!

The Bar, whether for coffees or drinks, is ideally supplied with plenty of bar tools, glasses and all the ways to brew the ideal cup of 4 J’s (our local favorite) coffee! And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great ambiance whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic beach tunes.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a New Bern rental & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. 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 quickly to remedy it.
