With steps leading directly to the beach - what more could you ask for? You would be renting the west side. The vistas from this home are magnificant no matter which direction you look. Sitting on the highest point of land in Emerald Isle, Cloud Nine is appropriately named, sitting high atop the dunes. The sun rises to the east and sets in the west, over the ocean, making this location one of the only places on the entire east coast that faces due south.

The home offers a giant composite deck with PVC railings and a covered sitting area for shade. Stairs offer a short walk to get your feet in the sand. On the main living floor an open floor plan offers a comfortable living room to relax and rejuvenate for another appealing beach day. A huge kitchen off of the living room on the main floor is loaded with all of your cooking necessities. On the Bogue Sound side of the main floor, a separate room is tucked away for additional sleeping space. A full bath and washer/dryer is on the sound side, off of the kitchen.

The upstairs is all about sleeping space! After a day on the beach or out visiting the plethora of local attractions, there is nothing like a good nighttime's rest. Cloud Nine offers comfortable sleeping for our guests as we have furnished the home for as we will one day live there ourselves. The master bedroom sits off the ocean side and offers a king bed and a sizable deck with a view that makes you speechless. The master bedroom offers the biggest bathroom with windows that show the ocean with every turn.

The biggest room on the sound side offers a private deck with a view of the ocean and the sound, a queen bed with a twin, enormous walk-in closet. The sound side back bedroom offers a full bed, twin bed and plenty of closet space with a great view of Bogue Sound. The middle room at the top of the stairs offers a bunkbed with two twins and closet.

Constructed in 1995 and modernized in 2012, the home is very well constructed and maintained. Cloud Nine sits near mile marker 15, mid-way mark on the 29 mile island. This proximity accepts guests to travel east to discover the local flavor of close by Atlantic Beach, including a side trip to the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, only 8 miles away. Continue on east and follow Route 58 to the end of the road which is home to historic Fort Macon State Park. From Atlantic Beach, a trip across the causeway to Morehead City offers nightlife, sound side dining and local shopping with historic Beaufort only a few miles further east. Traveling west from the home brings you into the town of Emerald Isle in just 4 miles. Adventurous guests can walk to the Bogue Sound pier by beach in about two hours. I recommend walking one way and calling back for a ride and insisting on being taken out to a marvelous local restaurant for lunch since you earned that!! Crossing the bridge at the west end of Emerald Isle is one of the most impressive scenes on the island. This short drive takes you to Cedar Point, home of Dudley Marina and the best place for FRESH OFF THE BOAT seafood at Phillips Seafood Market - where the locals go for fresh fish. Drive across another short bridge and enter into Swansboro, one of our favorite places to go. Wonderful people and amazing eateries. The closest mall in Jacksonville is only 30 mins. from Cloud Nine, beyond Swansboro.

Tricks and tips for getting the best rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfectrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. OCEANFRONT with Amazing Views and Pet friendly has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
