--- 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 incredible 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 giant walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is entirely supplied 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 beverages, 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 tunes.

“Cooking in the kitchen with my wife was fun since you had plenty of space to prep. From an instant pot, crock pot and great coffee machine, the kitchen made life painless.” – William S.

Off that is the ultimate Game Room, starting with a luxury Infinity Game Table, a big TV with fun LED lighting, and hexagon ottomans – so everybody can pull one up and join in! You’ll also find a collection of kids’s books in the cabinet.

The Carport has its own freshly added Half Bath and huge Outdoor Shower, so it’s simple to come in off the beach or step out of the pool without having to head upstairs. 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. If you’re the stay-at-home type, there’s a big hammock in the backyard with your name on it!

The spot where you can really make some spectacular memories though is the excellent screened-in Outdoor Kitchen off the Carport. There’s a dining table for 8, the ideal lounge-y sectional with its own 58” intelligent ROKU TV, and an countless stainless-steel counter with a prep sink and an accompanying giant freezer chest for cold drinks - or - your catch of the day!

Off the Outdoor Kitchen, there’s a Wilmington Grille, along with a firepit seating area for those nights where nothing will do but some s'mores and stories!

How to get the best Morehead City vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the right Morehead City rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. LUXE Oceanside Home
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 feedback.
