The wifi will keep you connected so that everybody can log on to their own devices if needed. The home is conveniently located at the end of a cul-de-sac, with plenty of yard space and a enormous driveway for multiple cars.

This is an entire home rental so you will have private access to every room in the home. Spend a day relaxing at home, or rent kayaks at Merchant's Grocery and Shell Gas Station (9 min. drive) for the day to savor the peaceful Neuse River as a family. If you want some pool time, call or stop by the local Twin Rivers YMCA to see about how to get a pool guest pass throughout your stay (just be sure to arrange this in advance). Near Atlantic Beach, there's also Fort Macon Park, Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, and some GREAT places to shop and eat! We included a Welcome Book on the kitchen table for you to see some of the great things to do in New Bern. Don't worry about bringing a bunch of different outfits either!!! This family home has a washer and dryer so that you can do laundry before heading home! There is also a carport and shed on site-- please note, these are not available to guests.

Feel complimentary to reach out with anything you may need!

The home is at the end of a cul-de-sac giving tons of space and privacy for your stay! The neighborhood is friendly with people who've lived in their homes for many years and could help you with finding some additional fun things to do in the area. Minutes from downtown, this home is close to a Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Dunkin' Donuts, and Dollar General for last-min. needs.

The neighborhood is just off the main road US 70. The home is at the end of the street so you don't hear the traffic passing by.

We provide all of our guests a starter kit of consumables such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, etc. Guests can purchase any additional consumables from close by grocery stores that you think you might need during your stay beyond what's supplied in the starter kit.

Tricks and tips for getting the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guide magazines that 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 Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home in New Bern:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Quiet Extended Stay with Spa Bath, Fenced Yard has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
