Just to mention a couple titles from the review page, "Totally impressive," "handsome home for a sizable family," "Ideal getaway," "Spectacular beach home in a Fun location." I think you will find our beach home to be your home away from home and that's our goal! In fact one renter called it "home away from home!"
This is a Giant, Stunning, 6 bedroom, and 5 bathrooms on the sound. The 4th floor sleeps 4 and has a huge sitting room with a HUGE TV--the kids will never leave! The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms including the king master with high ceilings and gorgeous vistas. The second floor has one bedroom and the rest is living space. The family room is open to the kitchen and a enormous eating area with great sound vistas and a deck right off this space. The home will conveniently handle 12 people. We freshly added a 4/5 person hot tub. The family room has a fireplace for colder weather. One guest commented "the home was definitely striking. The rooms were cavernous and well lit. It comfortably accommodated my family of 10+."
This Sound View home looks straight at Morehead City. According to one guest, "we had everything we needed for making meals." Wake up in the Master bedroom and look right out into the sound--great way to start your day. You won't want to leave.. Walking to Beach, Shopping, eateries & Bars. Our community is called The Cottages at Bay Ridge and located between Atlantic Stations Shopping Center and the Atlantic Beach Post Office, our coastal community offers all the amenities and privacy that waterfront living deserves! According to a guest, "great home in a great neighborhood." We are a sound front community with great access to fishing, crabbing, kayaking and bird watching. We have a pretty gradual entry pool. This is a marvelous conveniences with elevated viewing area and plenty of shade for when it gets too hot in the sun. There is a half mile elevated wooden boardwalk which leads to the covered gazebo on our private island in the sound. This is great for picnics and fishing and watching the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Many guests commented that the host was effortlessly accessible, accommodating and amazing!

Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Havelock area. To get the best value, shift your family's Havelock vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. On the Sound 6BR 4.5BA home! Great for large families, 2 living spaces. Hot tub! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Havelock attraction you are enamored with, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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 you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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 feedback.
