The old Safrit Family Home is now one of the most striking locations to spend your vacation this year. We don't label it "The Finest View In Town" for nothing. Over looking Taylors Creek, 1st Deep Creek and Carrot Island, the vistas are fantastic. Everday there will be the chance to see the ponies making their way down the island, grazing as they go.
Inside, the home has a enormous kitchen with a comfortable den and dining room accompanying it. With two bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs, there will be plenty of space to spread out. Both floors have sitting areas with vistas all the way out to Shackleford Banks. The master bedroom upstairs has its very own den with a private bathroom. On a clear nighttime you can see the Cape Lookout Light's beaming out to guide the ships around the point.
The home is very close to downtown Beaufort where you will find plenty to do.

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

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the New Bern area. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best vacation home in the New Bern area:

• First, have your group commit to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. The Front Street House - Best Views in Town! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, email the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
