The Loft is located above a retail space, Dancing Baristas Cafe, which opened in March 2023. There will be patrons visiting the shop downstairs for early morning coffee and the business will be hosting occasional afternoon/evening events on site. The entire outdoor space is considered common area for all guests to appreciate and we hope you will participate in all of the fun being offered right outside your door! However, the upstairs area is reserved only for our Vacation Rental By Owner guests and you will not be sharing any indoor spaces. If you'd like to engage in the community, meet locals, feel some excitement and learn more about the area...you will appreciate this spot! Please feel complimentary to connect with me to learn about any events that may be taking place during your stay or check out the Dancing Baristas Cafe (DBC) on social media.

Within 1.5 miles you'll land in the Historic Downtown of Beaufort, where you'll find bars, eateries, ice cream, live music, ferry services and more. While some may consider walking downtown, most guests opt to hop on a bicycle or golf cart. Rent these locally and take advantage of the delivery services available so they'll be waiting upon your arrival! We'll be happy to share directions for a shortcut to downtown - the trail over the Turner Street bridge is just around the corner!

We bet you'll find yourself planning a return trip before you've even left!

Our top New Bern rental booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a New Bern rental home:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the New Bern area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Trendy Loft w\/ Energetic Outdoors - 5 min from the beach and pet friendly! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
