--- ABOUT THE SPACE ---

Welcome to Seaborne - our luxury 4 bedroom/4 bath home, 900 feet from the Atlantic on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast!

From our beautiful gourmet kitchen with its high-end appliances to our brand new backyard getaway, we have sought at every turn to make your stay something special.

“The backyard was an getaway, ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach. The proximity to the beach was very convenient for us. Having access to a golf cart as well was the cherry on top.” – Carly K.

MAIN FLOORING LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a outstanding 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 huge 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 supplied 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 beverages, is ideally outfitted 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 Boys tunes.

Rental home booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• To book the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best rental home:

• First, have your family choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. LUXE Beachside Home
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or applied to your agreement.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
