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 enormous open great room is the ideal place for family to gather, affording a handsome 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.

Appreciate 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 savor 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 beautiful sunsets. What a magnificent 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.

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 handsome 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 delightful 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 appreciate our striking 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.

Getting the best Crystal Coast rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your Crystal Coast rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Private Home set in Maritime Forest with Wonderful Water Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
