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

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

One of the few pet-friendly cottages in Beaufort! Come savor 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 appreciate 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 cozy 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 striking 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 included 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 supplied upon request and the guest accepts all liability for damage to the home if used incorrectly.

Beaufort vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage in Heart of Beaufort has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
