Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort - Vacation rental home in Beaufort, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

One of the few pet-friendly cottages in Beaufort! Come appreciate a comfortable one-bedroom bungalow with a big yard 2 blocks from the waterfront. Set back from the road this bungalow is unique in the heart of Beaufort. Ideal for a morning coffee on the porch and afternoon walk on the waterfront with your pup. Unwind with a board-game or puzzle and savor dinner on the screened in side porch. Connect to WiFi to work remotely or disconnect and enjoy Beaufort. Check us out on insta @thesouthernsaltydog!

My approach with this space is to keep it comfortable and dog-friendly while celebrating our coastal town of Beaufort. For the pups this means dog beds throughout the bungalow, a complimentary toy and treats upon arrival and baggies conveniently supplied for keeping the yard clean! For our guest this means a great room blending a comfortable couch, workspace and dining area lined with bookshelves supplied with puzzles, games, and all the gadgets to make a good martini (shaken not stirred). A handsome screened in porch provides outdoor dining or relaxation space. The king size bed with its fleece lined comforter and (many) pillows creates a space for a calming nights sleep.

I can accommodate up to four guests if needed with an air bed upon request. I can also provide two enormous kennels if needed for an additional $25 charge if needed. Note that at this time the yard is not fenced in as I am waiting on a contractor with availability and any pups need to be under voice or leash control at all times when outside for their and our neighbors safety.

Guest access to the home is supplied by a long grass drive way leads to the gravel parking spots by the potting shed. The eateries, museums and state park ferries are three blocks away on Front street. Morehead City is a ten min. drive across the bridge.

We do have a working fire place in the bungalow but instructions for use are included upon request and the guest accepts all liability for damage to the home if used incorrectly.

Tips for getting the perfect Beaufort, NC vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Booking in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best rental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
