Welcome to Beaufort, the “Coolest Modest Town in America,” the “Finest Modest Town for Adventure,” and “America’s Favorite Town,”* titles earned newly and with good reason.
This striking town has been a magnet for excitement for hundreds of years— and was a known hangout for pirates — including Blackbeard himself! He resided close by and most likely moored his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, right out front (stop at the NC Maritime Museum and see artifacts recovered from that shipwreck). Undoubtedly, he crossed this very yard after a long stretch of pillaging overseas!!
The home itself is supplied with everything you need for convenience, comfort and recreation. The welcoming front porch is ideal for watching the parade of boats drift by under the sunset and greeting neighbors. Indoors you will find Intelligent TVs in the comfortable living room, a roomy dining area for gathering and a modern kitchen for cooking together. There are three bedrooms with Intelligent TVs and a wood-paneled additional room (with a full bed) inspired by Hemingway’s boat, “Pilar.” There are two bathrooms as well, one is a half bath with direct access to an outdoor shower. Bathing in the fresh air is one of life’s simple pleasures!
The Front Street address is ideal for its vistas of Taylor’s Creek, with wild horses across the way and dolphins simple to spot frolicking. A half-mile walk is historic downtown, home to fine dining, stores and cafes, creekfront beverages, art walks and more. There are always fun activities in town, including live music, ghost walks and pirate tours.
The property features a giant floating dock for two boats, a floating kayak dock, a swim ladder, a fish cleaning station and bench seating. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal safe harbor. Bring your boat and take the opportunity to cruise The Cape Lookout National Seashore — freshly voted the best National Park. Head to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or island hop to your heart’s content. The beaches and the Crystal Coast are pristine places of beauty.
We can’t wait for you to appreciate our sweet and calming home in a neighborhood that is private and in a peaceful community focused on southern hospitality and harmony. Cheers from The Simple Plateau!

How to book the best Beaufort vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Waterfront Cottage on Taylor's Creek w\/ Boat Dock - Near Shops and Restaurants has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
