Sea Haven is a cavernous, seven-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-kitchen oceanfront beach home that is located in handsome Atlantic Beach. The home lies in a peaceful, calming neighborhood, yet still sits within walking distance of the Atlantic Beach Boardwalk and a fishing pier with a wide variety of activities and eateries available. The beach in front of the home is relatively peaceful and secluded, and you will often find yourself alone with your thoughts in the early morning. This broad beach escape is 3 stories high and an AMAZING value for such a big place!

The 3rd-floor bathroom is also located between the bedrooms. On the 1st floor, each bedroom has its own adjoining bathroom.

There is also a covered 400 square foot porch with two sizable picnic tables, which are great for inclement weather or for just getting out of the sun. The view is unmatched...Sea Haven faces due south on an east-west beach, so during certain times of the year, you can savor both a sunrise and a sunset from the same location (this is one of the few beach locations in the US where this occurs). From the steps of the deck, the waves at high tide are only about 15 yards away.

Atlantic Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
