About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms

Handsome private sound front property shaded by 100-year old live oak trees with a dock. Just one mile from The Boathouse Marina, public boat ramp, and two miles from the Beaufort docks...ideal distance for golf cart rides. This striking tucked-away rental sports the most marvelous sunrise in Carteret County as it rises over Harkers Island bridge. Life is slower here where the egrets fish in the marsh and dolphins play as the tide lazily rolls in. This 1800-sq-ft comfortable bungalow has been freshly refreshed and features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, full capacity laundry room, and cavernous living and entertaining areas, including two outdoor decks for additional leisure. Plenty of space to park boat and trailer in yard. Male and female beach cruiser bicycles supplied for meandering through town. Brand new dock that is 12-foot on the T. Catch crabs in the crab pot included and fish off the dock. No swimming due to oyster rocks in the marsh and shallow water. Bring your kayaks for striking adventures through the marsh. By boat, it's only 20 mins. to get to the Cape and 7 mins. to Wade Shore and Shackelford Banks. Gas up the boat around the corner at Boathouse marina. Linens supplied; smoking outdoors only.

Tricks and tips to get the best Beaufort vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 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 catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect rental in the New Bern area:

• To start, have your group decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Beau Point: Dog-Friendly Waterfront w/dock "Where live oaks meet the sea…” has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
