EXTERIOR
Savor your view from the roomy top deck or the comfort of the enclosed porch. Walk down the pathway among the Cypress trees, flowering shrubs and tall grasses to savor 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 delightful 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.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect New Bern rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Morehead City area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in New Bern. To find the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Morehead City attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. 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 guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing yourrental home:

• To start, have your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Boat Dock! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. 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 solve it.
