THE SPACE
2300 square foot home | King Bed | Screened Porch | Waterfront | Water View | Deep Water | Dock

EXTERIOR
Savor your view from the cavernous top deck or the comfort of the enclosed porch. Walk down the pathway among the Cypress trees, flowering shrubs and tall grasses to appreciate your morning coffee on the bench at the end of the dock. During an evening visit with your special drink, relax with the sunset, listen to the rocking of the water while some fish jump, and often experience a gentle breeze. Sit back, forget, and relax from the hectic demands of your daily life.

There are multiple bird species in the area that frequent the garden and water areas just outside your back door. An occasional eagle will grace you with its presence. Don't be surprised if you see some deer visiting the neighborhood during the day and evening hours.

Unwind on the back deck or on the screened in porch and take in the sounds of nature from this wooded lot with a gorgeous view of water in the distance beyond the trees. Or sit on the bench on your own private boat dock on deep waters from which you are welcome to fish or crab. Bring your boat!

You can drop your boat at the community boat launch and tie up to the dock for the rest of your stay. Telephone Northwest Creek Marina, New Bern, for more information. Downtown New Bern is just short boat-ride away.

New Bern rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Pamlico area vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Pamlico area area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Pamlico area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Boat Dock! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Pamlico area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or applied to your agreement.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
