--- ABOUT THE SPACE ---

Welcome to Seaborne - our luxury 4 bedroom/4 bath home, 900 feet from the Atlantic on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast! We have tried to think of every detail to make your stay as calming, joyful, and memorable as humanly possible! From our pretty gourmet kitchen with its high-end appliances to our brand new backyard getaway, we have sought at every turn to make your stay something special.

“The backyard was an getaway, ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach. The proximity to the beach was very convenient for us. Having access to a golf cart as well was the cherry on top.” – Carly K.

PLEASE NOTE: Your booking is not final until the signed rental agreement has been returned. The pool is only heated from April through October. More details are noted below.

MAIN FLOORING LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a marvelous open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a comfortable deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ heated, saltwater Pool and sizable Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a humongous walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is completely outfitted with every known kitchen appliance, plus all the pet perks your dog could want.

The Kitchen itself features Kitchen Aid and Fisher Paykel, along with a chic gas range, a wine refrigerator and more, so every meal here, big or modest, will feel like gourmet magazine come to life!

The Bar, whether for coffees or drinks, is ideally supplied with plenty of bar tools, glasses and all the ways to brew the ideal cup of 4 J’s (our local favorite) coffee! And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great ambiance whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic Beach Boys tunes.

There’s also plenty of gear, from beach chairs to soft top surfboards, so you can load up the golf cart with your group to catch some waves or just sink your toes into the sand!

Seaborne definitely has something for everybody, especially bicycles - the locals’ favorite means of transportation, so you too can savor all the bicycle paths that start just off our cul-de-sac and ride to town or take in a sunset.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Havelock vacation rental experience:

When to book a Havelock rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Havelock area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. LUXE Beachside Home
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
