Private Home set in Maritime Forest with Wonderful Water Views - Vacation rental home in Pine Knoll Shores, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 2000 square feet

A single family home provides more privacy and more room vs a condo with hordes of people all around. A home also provides social distancing from other families when compared with a condo setting, an important consideration these days. This private home is set on a half+ acre corner lot in the maritime forest of Pine Knoll Shores. The enormous open great room is the ideal place for family to gather, affording a handsome view of Bogue Sound. The full wall of glass doors along the back provide exceptional water vistas. If you're patient, you may see dolphin swimming by! Upscale furnishings and an exceptionally calming ambiance in a peaceful area.

Savor your beach days via the community private (gate card supplied) beach access, with seating and showers. There are also multiple community sound front parks close by. We savor going up to the sound front park right up the street to go canoeing (two canoes supplied with the rental, and they are located right by the floating dock launch) or sit out on the pier and watch the pretty sunsets. What a fabulous way to end the day.

The home layout is 3/3 and single level, so no staircase for older family members to climb. Bring your older parents or grandparents, no problem. Store all of your beach toys in the garage. There is ample parking... room for up to 8 cars in the driveway and two parking pads.

Examples include Fort Macon State Park up at the inlet, only 5 miles/ the NC Aquarium at PKS only 3 miles away/ water taxis to the ponies at Shackleford Banks and to the splendid vistas atop Cape Lookout Lighthouse/ boat, jetski and kayak units/ nature trails (in PKS, Atlantic Beach and Fort Macon)/ bumper boats, go carts and putt putt/ shopping on the Beaufort waterfront/ parasailing/ fishing (in the surf, off the piers, or off one of the impressive charter boats on the waterfront)/AB Town Park with playground, swingsets, basketball, putt putt, splashpad, and skateboarding/Movie theatre/laser tag/pizza/grocery store and the best ice cream on the beach 2 miles away. All of these activities are only a few mins. away. Or you can bring your own boat and cruise over to Morehead, Beaufort or Cape Lookout. There are wet slips available at the local marina just five mins. up the road, as well as private (PKS) and public boat ramps close by. Or get some exercise paddling either of the two included canoes from the sound front park. If you're a golfer, the home is located right on a fairway of the Country Club of the Crystal Coast, which just received a major makeover. So bring your clubs and appreciate our gorgeous golf course. There definitely is no shortage of activities right at your doorstep. Or you can simply sit back on the deck or stone patio and watch the boats going by on the Intercoastal Waterway.

Note: I do have a security camera inside, but only in the garage, not inside the home itself. There are also two security cams outside, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. These are for security when the home is unoccupied, and are turned off whenever guests are staying.

Our beach home is a relaxing, peaceful place ideal for a memorable family vacation. We appreciate the area. Come give North Carolina's Crystal Coast and our home a try. I know you'll adore it here, and you'll want to return.

Beaufort, NC rental home tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Booking your Beaufort, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. 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 host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the rightrental home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Private Home set in Maritime Forest with Wonderful Water Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
