Private Home set in Maritime Forest with Wonderful Water Views - Vacation rental home in Pine Knoll Shores, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 2000 square feet

A single family home provides more privacy and more room vs a condo with hordes of people all around. A home also provides social distancing from other families when compared with a condo setting, an important consideration these days. This private home is set on a half+ acre corner lot in the maritime forest of Pine Knoll Shores. The sizable open great room is the ideal place for family to gather, affording a impressive view of Bogue Sound. The full wall of glass doors along the back provide exceptional water vistas. If you're patient, you may see dolphin swimming by! Upscale furnishings and an exceptionally calming ambiance in a peaceful area.

Savor your beach days via the community private (gate card included) beach access, with seating and showers. There are also multiple community sound front parks close by. We appreciate going up to the sound front park right up the street to go canoeing (two canoes supplied with the rental, and they are located right by the floating dock launch) or sit out on the pier and watch the handsome sunsets. What a incredible way to end the day.

The home layout is 3/3 and single level, so no staircase for older family members to climb. Bring your older parents or grandparents, no problem. Store all of your beach toys in the garage. There is ample parking... room for up to 8 cars in the driveway and two parking pads.

Nicely located, you are only mins. away from all the attractions the area has to offer. Examples include Fort Macon State Park up at the inlet, only 5 miles/ the NC Aquarium at PKS only 3 miles away/ water taxis to the ponies at Shackleford Banks and to the elegant vistas atop Cape Lookout Lighthouse/ boat, jetski and kayak units/ nature trails (in PKS, Atlantic Beach and Fort Macon)/ bumper boats, go carts and putt putt/ shopping on the Beaufort waterfront/ parasailing/ fishing (in the surf, off the piers, or off one of the elegant charter boats on the waterfront)/AB Town Park with playground, swingsets, basketball, putt putt, splashpad, and skateboarding/Movie theatre/laser tag/pizza/grocery store and the best ice cream on the beach 2 miles away. All of these activities are only a few mins. away. Or you can bring your own boat and cruise over to Morehead, Beaufort or Cape Lookout. There are wet slips available at the local marina just five mins. up the road, as well as private (PKS) and public boat ramps close by. Or get some exercise paddling either of the two supplied canoes from the sound front park. If you're a golfer, the home is located right on a fairway of the Country Club of the Crystal Coast, which just received a major makeover. So bring your clubs and savor our pretty golf course. There definitely is no shortage of activities right at your doorstep. Or you can simply sit back on the deck or stone patio and watch the boats going by on the Intercoastal Waterway.

Note: I do have a security camera inside, but only in the garage, not inside the home itself. There are also two security cams outside, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. These are for security when the home is unoccupied, and are turned off whenever guests are staying.

Our beach home is a relaxing, peaceful place ideal for a memorable family vacation. We appreciate the area. Come give North Carolina's Crystal Coast and our home a try. I know you'll appreciate it here, and you'll want to return.

Booking the best Havelock vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Havelock rental home & When to go:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Havelock vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Private Home set in Maritime Forest with Wonderful Water Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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.
