Feel Moonlit Dunes! Our single family home (NOT a duplex) offers privacy at the beach like no other. Ideal for modest family gatherings, a fishing trip or hideaway with friends. This 3 bedroom/2.5 bath beachfront getaway was NEWLY refreshed in July 2024.

Appreciate your breakfast and morning coffee while taking in expansive ocean vistas from a partially covered deck with a swing and plenty of seating for your whole group. The well-equipped kitchen with an island and upsized pantry makes dinners a breeze. The sizable dining room table (seats 8) and a breakfast bar (seats 3) make meal times and game nights painless. A new gas grille, backyard seating and firepit create the ideal space to spend quality time together in a private setting. Take a walk through the dunes to savor the beach, fish and to take in the magical sunsets only The Point of Emerald Isle can provide.

Within our 1800 square foot home there are handsome ocean vistas from the main living areas (kitchen, dining and living room) and from 2 bedrooms.

- Bedroom 1: Primary suite. King bed with OCEAN VIEW, private bathroom with shower
and soaking tub, walk-in closet and dedicated work space.
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed with OCEAN VIEW.
- Bedroom 3: Full bunk beds.

A rinsing shower greets guests as they return from the beach, as well as, a full outdoor shower. If you return from The Point with some fish an outdoor Fisherman's Sink is ready for you to clean your catch. The laundry room with washer/ dryer is available for your use. Intelligent TVs are located in all bedrooms and the living room with high-speed WiFi internet. Stream directly to the Intelligent TVs from your phone or device

How to get the best rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Home w\/Private beachfront\/oceanfront access\/OceanViews\/PrivateBackyard@The Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern attraction you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
