Spending time at the shore is a balm for the soul! It even improves your physical and mental health —the salt air, the sunshine, the tranquility of the waves and pastimes like watching sandpipers scurry make for a relaxing mood and peace of mind. At this oceanfront condo, the coastal lifestyle and all of the joy and activities that come with it are right at your doorstep.
This unit is as inviting as the ocean breeze, with a fresh, comfortable, and beachy vibe. The open living space leads to the balcony with ocean vistas — where you are likely to spend tons of time! Sip coffee at first light, watch the waves in the distance, and come back in the evening just in time for the sun to dip down over the horizon in a fiery glow. With a dining room, bright white and roomy kitchen and two bedrooms, this ideal locale is the ideal hideaway.
Southwinds is within walking distance of Fort Macon State Park with its myriad of nature trails and pristine beaches. The Atlantic Beach Circle is also close by and has so many cute stores and fine dining for friends in town or a fun nighttime out. If you prefer to stay close to home, swim in one of two pools or marvel at the glory of the surf and the sunset with appreciated ones. You will never tire of your vistas — and access— to the Crystal Coast!!

Vacation rental tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect New Bern rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanside Condo-Southwinds G16 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
