Welcome to Beaufort, the “Coolest Modest Town in America,” the “Finest Modest Town for Adventure,” and “America’s Favorite Town,”* titles earned newly and with good reason.
This beautiful town has been a magnet for excitement for hundreds of years— and was a known hangout for pirates — including Blackbeard himself! He resided close by and most likely moored his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, right out front (stop at the NC Maritime Museum and see artifacts recovered from that shipwreck). Undoubtedly, he crossed this very yard after a long stretch of pillaging overseas!!
The home itself is supplied with everything you need for convenience, comfort and recreation. The welcoming front porch is ideal for watching the parade of boats drift by under the sunset and greeting neighbors. Indoors you will find Intelligent TVs in the comfortable living room, a roomy dining area for gathering and a modern kitchen for cooking together. There are three bedrooms with Intelligent TVs and a wood-paneled additional room (with a full bed) inspired by Hemingway’s boat, “Pilar.” There are two bathrooms as well, one is a half bath with direct access to an outdoor shower. Bathing in the fresh air is one of life’s simple pleasures!
The Front Street address is ideal for its vistas of Taylor’s Creek, with wild horses across the way and dolphins simple to spot frolicking. A half-mile walk is historic downtown, home to fine dining, stores and cafes, creekfront beverages, art walks and more. There are always fun activities in town, including live music, ghost walks and pirate tours.
The property features a humongous floating dock for two boats, a floating kayak dock, a swim ladder, a fish cleaning station and bench seating. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal safe harbor. Bring your boat and take the opportunity to cruise The Cape Lookout National Seashore — freshly voted the best National Park. Head to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or island hop to your heart’s content. The beaches and the Crystal Coast are pristine places of beauty.
We can’t wait for you to savor our sweet and calming home in a neighborhood that is private and in a peaceful community focused on southern hospitality and harmony. Cheers from The Simple Plateau!

Tips to get the perfect Morehead City vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Beaufort. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Morehead City attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time 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 is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Waterfront Cottage on Taylor's Creek w\/ Boat Dock - Near Shops and Restaurants has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
