Atlantic Beach just made #16 in the list of Top 100 Beaches in the United States, beating out even beaches in Hawaii! Truly a hidden gem, as this part of the island doesn't have public access, beyond a few cars, so it's just folks staying right there. https://www.wect.com/2023/06/21/100-best-beach-towns-us/

Full kitchen, enormous 36' x 12' patio with charcoal grille and sizable sectional, multiple rocking chairs, and porch swing, dining area, living room, full bathroom, queen bedroom, dual twin bedroom, two rollaway beds, laundry in unit, beach outdoor shower. Home away from home!

The entire unit of the duplex will be yours. This property is smoke-complimentary, meaning you must leave the property completely if you wish to smoke. This is a pet-complimentary property.

My favorite spot in the home is the massive 36' x 12' patio with the porch swing, and giant sectional seating area. I adore that I can hear the waves crash from here.

Booking the best Atlantic Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental home in the Beaufort, NC area:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Barefoot Beach South: Fantastic location, steps from sand with views of the bay! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
