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.

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.

• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 your family have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
