About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

This place is especially designed for the beach feels, and to really appreciate : a siesta for sure! Some of our favorite things are the patio for gorgeous sunrises and coffee time, the striking vistas even inside the condo, the painless access (walk or bicycle) to EI stores and eateries, and of course, a very fast walk to the pretty beach! The pool is freshly refreshed with lounge chairs and tables/chairs on the deck. We've set up the condo to be comfortable and have some nice amenities, including wooden colonial-style shutters, swivel bar stools, laundry/pantry right off the kitchen, well supplied kitchen, keyless entry, and more.

The covered front entrance has room for all your beach gear (chairs, boards, beach toys). Bicycle racks are below on ground level. When you come into the condo, you'll have the 1st bedroom— with a queen bed, tv (dvd only), and an attached full-sized bath with hall access. The kitchen has all your cooking and dining needs, including a 4-seater table and a bar with 3 swivel stools. Off the kitchen is the "lantry"--laundry/pantry room, with shelves, microwave, and full-size washer/dryer. The living room overlooks the ocean, and has a SMART TV with cable access. The 2nd bedroom is very roomy, and includes 2 double beds, a chair and ottoman, a tv (dvd only) and enormous mirrored dresser. This bedroom has a private attached full bathroom.
The patio provides handsome ocean vistas with the polywood high top table and adirondack high top chairs.

This condo is in Queen's Court. It's not a high-rise (only 3 units tall), with elevators, and has 4 buildings. We are in the 2nd building (1 row back from ocean front), but the angle of the condos makes you have a very nearly oceanfront view and experience. The walk to the ocean is about 2 mins. from door to sand. The condo is well-kept and in a great community. Many of our neighbors live here full-time. There is not a lot of rental traffic through here, making for peaceful, calming hideaway.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• To get the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfect New Bern rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ocean Views & Well-Equipped condo, in the Heart of Emerald Isle has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
