Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort - Vacation rental home in Beaufort, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

One of the few pet-friendly cottages in Beaufort! Come savor a comfortable one-bedroom bungalow with a big yard 2 blocks from the waterfront. Set back from the road this bungalow is unique in the heart of Beaufort. Ideal for a morning coffee on the porch and afternoon walk on the waterfront with your pup. Unwind with a board-game or puzzle and appreciate dinner on the screened in side porch. Connect to WiFi to work remotely or disconnect and enjoy Beaufort. Check us out on insta @thesouthernsaltydog!

My approach with this space is to keep it comfortable and dog-friendly while celebrating our coastal town of Beaufort. For the pups this means dog beds throughout the bungalow, a complimentary toy and treats upon arrival and baggies conveniently supplied for keeping the yard clean! For our guest this means a great room blending a cozy couch, workspace and dining area lined with bookshelves supplied with puzzles, games, and all the gadgets to make a good martini (shaken not stirred). A striking screened in porch provides outdoor dining or relaxation space. The king size bed with its fleece lined comforter and (many) pillows creates a space for a peaceful nights sleep.

I can accommodate up to four guests if needed with an air bed upon request. I can also provide two enormous kennels if needed for an additional $25 charge if needed. Note that at this time the yard is not fenced in as I am waiting on a contractor with availability and any pups need to be under voice or leash control at all times when outside for their and our neighbors safety.

Guest access to the home is included by a long grass drive way leads to the gravel parking spots by the potting shed. The eateries, museums and state park ferries are three blocks away on Front street. Morehead City is a ten min. drive across the bridge.

We do have a working fire place in the bungalow but instructions for use are supplied upon request and the guest accepts all liability for damage to the home if used incorrectly.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal New Bern vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, 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 specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
