Gull Cottage in Historic Beaufort-by-the-Sea - Vacation rental home in Beaufort, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 7
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Cottage
• Approximately 1296 square feet

Cute bungalow on Moore Street in the Historic District of Beaufort located directly across the street from Homer Smith Docks and Marina. Such a peaceful and beautiful location for you to relax. View Town Creek and Newport River from the front porch. Walk 3 1/2 blocks to Front Street and view the ponies on Taylor's Creek. Everything Beaufort has to offer in the Historic and Restaurant District is within short walking distances.

There are numerous businesses that rent kayaks close by. There are also inexpensive ferry boat rides to Cape Lookout and Bird Shoals. Finally, I am a USCG licensed Captain, and am certified to take paying passengers on charters on my boat(s). However, I highly recommend the inexpensive ferry boat rides that depart from downtown Beaufort, unless you have a specific reason in mind…

The bungalow has new paint and carpet throughout, with plenty of brand-new beds and furnishings. On the other hand, it's rather cozy with some striking antique furnishings, artwork by true local artists, Core Banks seashells scattered throughout, and if you look closely enough you will smile if you notice a few of the front rooms that aren't as ideally square as they were intended to be. In addition to the three bedrooms and two baths, you'll find a nice enormous living room with two couches with cable TV and Internet. Cook in the kitchen if you like, you'll find everything you need. There's also a back porch for grilling and your own back yard with a modest fire-pit with plenty of oak to burn. There is plenty of parking.

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To get the largest rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Morehead City restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Gull Cottage in Historic Beaufort-by-the-Sea has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Morehead City beach you crave, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. 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 at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
