Near the Sea we forget to count the days... It will be painless to lose track of time when you stay in Sea Notes, a warm, fun, & effervescent Almost Oceanfront home.

Sea Notes is a 6-bedroom home, with 6-full and 2-half-baths, and you won't have to worry about trekking anything up and down the stairs because it has an Elevator that is available from the Ground Level all the way to the top.

The min., whimsical details and treatments this home extends are not to be missed, even down to the oval, nickle door knobs. And getting to the beach is simple! Beach access is directly across the street (see photo) but if you don't want to spend all of your time at the beach, there is a elegant Pool and Hot Tub at your disposal.

The first thing you will notice upon entering Sea Notes, which you will find generous throughout this home, is the fanciful artwork, object art, and bespoke-painted furnishings. It is obvious that great care was taken to insure that each room resonates a theme.

When you enter Sea Notes, at Ground Level, the first rooms you see are the bright and fun Media and Game Rooms. The Media Room is decorated in lively primary colors and furnished with a Cherry, suede-like sectional and over-sized, Denim blue chair. The walls are full of sea life, from the entertaining musical frogs to the brilliantly colored fish making their way through sea reeds. Next door is the Game Room - in the middle of the Game Room sits a Fire Engine Red Pool Table, and is cornered by a deep blue-tiled Kitchenette, with a Microwave and Fridge. Next to the Pool Table is a appealing, hand-crafted bench that was created by a local wood worker. It has an Ocean Wave-styled back and enormous blue fish armrests, ideal for a home at the beach!

Navigate over to the spirited sailboats and stripes-themed bedroom, located next to the Media Room, with a Double Twin Bunk Set and a Twin Bunk Set...it is a ideal place for the kids. The adjoining bathroom is complimentary with its brightly painted walls and marine-themed decorations and the kayak paddle towel bar is a ideal touch! Even the stairways are enchanting! Both of the stairways are brightly painted, and are full of marine-themed knick-knacks and furnishings, and the first stairway is even painted with a gorgeous marine life mural! You'll appreciate to wake up in the "Tequila Sunrise" Bedroom!

The "Tequila Sunrise" Bedroom is located on Level One and is located with a King bed, with a huge bamboo headboard shaped into a charming sunrise and "Tequila Sunrise" lyrics painted on both sides! The sunny Melon walls in this bedroom are a sublime backdrop to the deco-style, hand-painted furnishings and cheery, colorful bed coverings. The connecting bathroom has a bathtub, private toilet and an etched glass stand-up shower, with a complimentary rising sun backdrop over the lavatories.

On the way to the 2nd bedroom, on Level One, there is so much to take-in as you walk through the delightful "marine life" hallway and over the over-sized and brightly colored fish-shaped area rug! In the 2nd bedroom, the "Summer Time" room, there is a King bed, and an abundance of eclectic art adorning the walls. The furnishings have a tropical, Indonesian-inspired feel and are a great match for the bamboo and additional treatments found throughout the room. The full-bath, in this room, is unusually bright and "beachy," with fish spouting air bubbles from the Melon walls.

The "Bali Hai" bedroom, also on Level One, is named for the famed and astounding musical "Bali Hai." The sheet music to "Bali Hai" is framed and hung against deep Salmon walls. Also making this bedroom special are the other tropically-inspired treatments, such as, the Raffia Hula bedskirt on the King bed, which is also drapped with charming mosquito netting over the top of the bamboo headboard, the Raffia Hula skirt shower curtain in the bathroom, and Indonesian-inspired object art.

The kids will be crazy about the "Surfini Safari" bedroom! "Surfini Safari" is also on Level One accepting the kids easy access to the adults on the trip. The Twin and Double/Twin Bunk Sets are bedecked with lively striped bedcoverings which are made even brighter against the Tangerine walls. The Surfboard mirror and Surfboard handles, a unique addition to the chest of drawers, match ideally with the beachy scenes found in the adjoining full-bath. This room is so kidcentric there are even colorful footstools at the lavatories!

The bedroom on Level Two is definitely bright & alluring! On the impressive wood floor sits a King bed which is adorned with delightful designer bedcoverings in Persimmon, Melon & Butterscotch, against Antique White head and foot boards. The adjoining full-bath has a tub, private water closet, and separate glass shower. The real highlight of this room, and a tribute to the Island, are the striking murals decorating the walls...one of a enchanting mermaid swimming with a modest school of fish and the other, doves carrying a flowing banner over the bed that reads, "I have never felt so complimentary as when I'm listening to the Song of the Sea." This is a special vacation home and the Homeowner has made sure it stays that way. Stay at Sea Notes and find out for yourself what makes this place so fantastic!

Our top Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Beaufort, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
