There are two kayaks for an adventurous day on Bogue Sound.

After fun in the sun, Buoy Oh Buoy has a hot-water outdoor shower to rinse off. There are two hammocks under the home where you can relax with a great book. The deck offers a gas firepit and a hammock porch swing—ideal places to continue reconnecting with your appreciated ones.

Inside, the kitchen is meticulously equipped to turn your groceries into awesome meals. No need to worry about hauling anything to the beach—the kitchen has a sizable refrigerator with ice maker, high quality cookware and cutlery, loads of chef’s tools, an enameled dutch oven, bakeware, and a slew of modest electrics, including Kitchen Aid stand mixer, Breville ice cream maker, slow cooker, panini press, food processor, Nespresso Pixie espresso machine and Keurig coffee maker. The outdoor gas grille accepts you to serve up summer anytime of the year. There's plenty of dishes, glasses, and silverware. Afterwards, don’t waste precious vacation time scrubbing; let the dishwasher do the work!

The primary suite is located on the top floor with a queen bed, huge walk-in closet, full bathroom, and a private balcony with seating for two. On the main floor there are two additional bedrooms, each with a queen bed and closet space to unpack. The main floor bedrooms share a full bath, which also homes the enormous capacity Maytag washer and dryer. All beds include premium beds, comfortable high thread-count linens, and additional pillows. High quality bath and kitchen towels are also supplied.

On rainy days, gather in the living room and appreciate a movie from our beach-themed DVD collection or stream your favorites on AppleTV with Netflix, Hulu, HBOMax, Disney Plus, or Peacock. A collection of board games, card games, and puzzles are also included. High speed Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the bungalow, and Apple HomePods makes high-quality music streaming a breeze. We also provide a guide for close by destinations to discover while you are staying with us.

How to book the best vacation property experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Buoy Oh Buoy! Cheerful family beach cottage just a block from the Ocean & Sound! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
