BEAUFORT
Make sure you plan a trip to Beaufort just a 20 min. drive off the island. Savor dinner at one of the many eateries. Do a little shopping, buy some newly made fudge and stroll along the dock of the inter-coastal water way. Look at the spectacular yachts anchored for the nighttime. Make sure you visit the General Store for hand dipped ice cream. Better yet, book a boat tour and watch the horses run complimentary on Shackleford Banks.

The park is complimentary for use (mini-golf & concession stand items for a fee).

Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium
The Aquarium has four main galleries that take visitors through the Mountains to the Ocean of NC. Inside the aquarium, at the start of your tour is a 32-foot smoky mountain waterfall.

Cape Lookout
History comes alive at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters constructed in the mid-1800’s to warn passing ships of the dangerous coastal waters. Standing at 163 feet tall, the 207- step “Diamond Lady” lighthouse was painted with a distinctive black and white diamond pattern in order to distinguish direction -- North and South from East and West -- and differentiate it from other North Carolina lighthouses. This Crystal Coast must-see is open to visitors to climb during the summer, May through September.

Shackleford Banks
For more than 400 years the wild horses of Shackleford Banks have taken care of their young, frolicked on pristine deserted beaches and foraged for food with not a saddle or fence in sight. Visitors make their way to the island by private boat or ferry running from Harkers Island, Beaufort and Morehead City – and the captains of Island Express Ferry Service are more than happy to dish most of their secrets to shelling during the ride.

We know you will appreciate your stay. Our guests come back year after year and leave us many marvelous stories of their vacation.

'At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun.'

Tips and Tricks to get the best Indian Beach rental home experience:

When to visit Indian Beach & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in the New Bern area. To book the best rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. \"Barefoot Paradise,\" Unobstructed Oceanfront, Linens, Heated pool, Modern Decor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
