Come stay in our handsome oceanfront home in the trendy Ocean Oaks neighborhood on Emerald Isle. We offer a wrap-around ocean view from the kitchen and living area, along with ocean-facing windows in each of our three bedrooms.

Our goal is to make your family feel welcome in one of the cleanest, nicest vacation units you have ever experienced.

Our kitchen comes well outfitted, and we include your basic oils, spices, condiments, detergents, and paper goods with your rental.

Outside, sun yourself on the upper deck, or grab a spot in the shade on our lower deck. We have a rinse shower down by the beach, and there is an enclosed shower under the home with hot water and a changing area for those who like to feel the breeze. Beach chairs and a bucket of toys are included.

For active visitors, there’s plenty to do. We have two kayaks beneath the home for use on the beach. The 11-mile Emerald Path bicycle trail runs right past our neighborhood and will carry you to the Point or up through town and all the way to Salter Path. Bring your own bicycles, or rent from one of our local stores! Golf courses and additional units for kayaking or paddle boarding in the sound are close by as well.

Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To book the best rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
