Our family home, designed by my grandmother, has been my family's favorite place to go for more than 50 years. It has one purpose--to allow a sizable group of people to stay under one roof and have a great time at the beach. The bedrooms are modest so that the common areas can be huge. It just feels right and comfortable and homey. The details:

Upstairs level (beach level):
Turquoise bedroom, 1 king bed, 1 half bath
Yellow bedroom, 1 double and 1 twin, 1 half bath
Green bedroom, 2 twins, 1 semi-attached full bath

Downstairs (road level):
Left bedroom, 2 twins, 1 sink, and 1 half bath down the hall
Right bedroom, 2 twins, 1 half bath
Back bedroom, 1 king, 1 twin, and 1 half bath
Former maid's quarters, 2 twins separated by a divider (very modest rooms)

2 standalone showers downstairs shared by everybody in the home
The laundry room is beside one of the showers.

The kitchen is well supplied with cookware, perhaps overly well outfitted.

The downstairs has a common area with a TV if you need to escape.

Towel and complete linen service is supplied.

The crown jewels of the home:
The common area upstairs with dining, TV, and conversation and reading area (about 12'x 36')
The front deck with a third of the deck shaded by an upper deck sunbathing and viewing area (about 12'x45')

If you want to be alone, you can find a nook to be by yourself. If you want to be with people, you can be with people.

Our top Beaufort, NC vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Third generation house has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms 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 you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
