We would like to welcome you to "The Painless Plateau" bungalow on Taylor's Creek in Beaufort.

Our home is comfortable and clean and is supplied with everything you need, including TVs with Roku in the living room and each bedroom, high speed wireless internet and a modern kitchen with all new appliances. Fresh bed linens are supplied complimentary of charge, as are bath towels and wash clothes.

Our bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The shower for the second bath, is an outdoor shower which is private and conveniently accessible directly from the bathroom.

There is also a additional room off the living room which has a comfortable day bed. We call it the "Hemingway Room" as the decor is inspired by Hemingway's boat, Pilar.

We've just added a giant floating dock with room for 2 boats and there is also a floating kayak dock, fold down swim ladder, fish cleaning station and bench seating on the pier.

From the front porch and dock, you will appreciate a continuous parade of boats, wild horses and pirate shenanigans. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal harbor.

You will only be 1/2 mile from downtown Beaufort, where you'll find plenty of eateries, bars and stores.

It's a fast drive to world class beaches, the ICW, the North Carolina aquarium, charter boat fishing and cruising and diving. There are fishing tournaments and festivals galore, including The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, The Beaufort Pirate Invasion, The Beaufort Historic Home and Garden Tour, The Beaufort Music Festival, Wooden Boat Show, Harker's Island Duck Decoys, and NC Seafood Festival. There are always fun activities in town including live music nearly nightly on the town boardwalk.

Beaufort was one of Blackbeard's favorite hangouts. Had you been our guest in 1717, you would have laid gaze on Blackbeard's mooring , as the home that he frequently visited while on holiday from pirating, is diagonally behind us. There is little doubt that he walked across our property to reach his girlfriend's home. He ran aground off Beaufort's coast 300 years ago, and the Beaufort branch of the North Carolina Maritime Museum proudly displays artifacts salvaged from his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

Beaufort has been voted best yachting destination and America's Coolest Modest Town. The Cape Lookout National Seashore was freshly voted best National Park.

If you rent our home we ask that you respect the tranquility and privacy of your neighbors. While Beaufort has become a tourist destination, it is still a peaceful community, especially after dark.

We know you will savor your vacation at "The Simple Plateau" in Beaufort .

Strategies to get the optimal Morehead City vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Morehead City vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the perfect Morehead City vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Waterfront Cottage on Taylor's Creek w/ Boat Dock - Near Shops and Restaurants has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
