Stay right on the beach! Located just steps from the Atlantic Ocean is this completely refreshed 8 Bedroom, 6 Bathroom bungalow that sports fantastic vistas, an oceanfront pool, hot tub, and cavernous oceanfront trex deck.

The home is currently offered as a single family rental. Originally set up as duplex, a doorway INSIDE the home between the living rooms separates or connects the two sides. This accepts you to appreciate and share your space, but also gives you the convenience and separation should you choose!
(TWO kitchens, TWO Living spaces!)

The layout includes two identical sides. This means there are two completely supplied kitchens (one on each side), and two family rooms (one on each side), with a doorway connecting the two sides that is accessible from inside the home.

Strategies to get the best New Bern rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide 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 information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Sandlot- OCEANFRONT House w\/ Pool & Hot Tub, Amazing views. Beach access. has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain New Bern destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
