Our home is located in the Down East area of Carteret County. We're on the coast, so there's tons of water-related activities!!

Our home is located in the area called Down East, which is part of the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway. The area was chosen due to the natural landscape and, specifically, the community-based culture of the thirteen communities that comprise Down East.

Beach area is within 1/2 mile offering opportunity to savor water sports. Located on the shore of Harkers Island is a nice stretch of beach appreciated by many locals and visitors. It is very kid-friendly with a handsome shoreline. Parking is limited, so get there early!!

Kayak units are available 1/8 of a mile from our home at Down East Kayaks. Prices are very reasonable. They deliver and pick up the kayaks for you! www.downeastkayaks.com

Cape Lookout National Seashore ferry is within 4 miles. The ferry will take you to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and surround beach areas. You let them know the time you want to return, and the ferry will be at the dock to pick you up! You can choose to go to the Lighthouse side of the park or Shackleford Banks island.
Take food, umbrellas, water and anything else you would like to have with you on the beach. Rest room facilities are available at the lighthouse but the visitors center only sells water and a limited amount of snacks.

Shackleford Banks is home to 130 wild ponies and they are impressive to observe from a distance. Remember - they are wild so follow the rules that are posted on the island.

Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is located on Harkers Island, roughly 4 miles from our home. The museum contains an gorgeous collection of Down East history, duck hunting, and culture.

A little further away is Cedar Island Horse Stables. There you can rent horses to ride along the beach. It's a giant hit with the visitors. The drive is about 30-40 mins. from our home but well worth the trip.

You can appreciate our deck with table/chairs facing the back yard.
Space is included if you bring along your boat!!

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

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your Beaufort, NC vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Coastal SeaClusion Vacation Rental is located in Down East, Carteret County, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ 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 resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. 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 review.
