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!

Getting the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Find your best deal:

• To get the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking the rightrental:

• Start by having your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. LUXE Oceanside Home
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
