It's only a 15 min. simple walk (8 min. bicycle ride) to the Historic District waterfront shopping/eateries/bars/museums. Our peaceful maritime forest backyard is home to many waterfowl, fish and deer. Swing under the old live oaks or savor our firepit in 1 of 3 seating areas by the creek (400ft of water front)! Appreciate the prevailing sw breeze as it comes across the marsh while watching egrets, herons, ibis and osprey! Sunsets are FANTASTIC! The kayak accessible creek feeds to Town Creek Bay & Gallant's Channel. The old menhaden rr track bed (used by Harvey Smith's menhaden plant, The Fishmeal Company, that used a spur of the Beaufort & Morehead Railroad) runs parallel to the creek right through the middle of our property! This is a hidden getaway in a busy historic coastal town.

The attached sanctuary was constructed in 1933, 8 miles east in the modest fishing village of Bettie. In 1979 The Crystal Coast Sanctuary was created when the sanctuary was picked up and moved here and the fellowship hall was added. Leave your car parked for your stay and instead walk or ride bicycles or paddle your way around town! There is plenty of parking for your boat trailer if needed. Public Beaches are only a short 5-15 min. drive (Radio Island or Atlantic Beach) or go by ferry boat from the Front St. docks to Rachel Carson Nature Preserve (Carrot Island or Sand Dollar Island), Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout!

Our top Beaufort rental property booking tips:

When to book a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Morehead City restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 15 Beds-13 sgl,2 qns! 3 ac waterfront retreat, easy walk to Beaufort docks has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. Call the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
