About this Property

Savor second to none vistas of Bogue Sound with your whole family. Fish or boat from your private dock. Take in the sunset from one of three decks overlooking the water. With a 5 min. bicycle ride to the beach you can appreciate both the beach and the sound. Decorated with colorful beach decor throughout, this home is warm and inviting. With ample parking for 6 to 8 cars and a boat this home is really special and one of kind.

The kitchen was designed to resemble the cabin of a sportfishing boat and the rest of the home is decorated with an chic coastal touch. The master bath floor is cork. There is a cavernous outside shower with a bench that has a mounted surfboard inside. There are two living areas, both with flat screen tv's and there are tv's in every bedroom expect the bunk room. An air bed can be utilized in the down stairs living area to sleep a total 12 guest.

There is a private dock with a cleaning station. You can dock your boat behind the boat lift on the left side only. The right side of the dock is not available for docking. It can be a little cumbersome if you are keeping your boat in the water for long periods of time. The boat lift can be added for an additional upfront $500/fee no matter the length of stay. The lift and dock is limited to 23' and under boats. I will personally meet you and review the operating instructions for the lift if added before unlocking the lift. The lift is currently set up for a 21' center console. The back yard is fenced in for your family pets. There is a sandbar that is visible at low tide directly across from the home that is comfortably swimmable. This is one of my family's favorite things to do. On the sandbar you can find many shells and interesting creatures. Make sure you don't miss the sunsets from one of the 3 back decks! The garage is kept locked as owner storage.

Our top Beaufort, NC vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of 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 choose the best rental:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Charm and Breathtaking Views w\/Private Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
