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

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

One of the few pet-friendly cottages in Beaufort! Come appreciate 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 savor 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 comfortable couch, workspace and dining area lined with bookshelves outfitted with puzzles, games, and all the gadgets to make a good martini (shaken not stirred). A charming 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 sizable 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 supplied 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 included upon request and the guest accepts all liability for damage to the home if used incorrectly.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners 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 discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Morehead City destination you long to visit, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
