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 sizable open great room is the ideal place for family to gather, affording a pretty 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 appreciate going up to the sound front park right up the street to go canoeing (two canoes included with the rental, and they are located right by the floating dock launch) or sit out on the pier and watch the handsome sunsets. What a incredible 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.

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 supplied 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 savor 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 appreciate it here, and you'll want to return.

Our top Rental home booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfectrental:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 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 search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
