Cruise your boat to our deepwater dock which is located on the Northwest Creek of the Neuse River: a 275 mile long river that enters the 80 mile long Pamlico Sound. Located a short car ride to Historic Downtown New Bern!

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on the banks of the deep waters of Northwest Creek, which flows into the brackish waters of the Neuse River where you can catch both freshwater and saltwater fish.

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 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 alluring 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.

Getting the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Pamlico area area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Pamlico area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Boat Dock! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 costs applied to your contract.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
