This property has been maintained as a 5 star stay and was freshly purchased by us (5 star hosts). It was voted as Beaufort’s top short-term stay in 2022. The Loft is located above a retail space, Dancing Baristas Cafe, which opened in March 2023. There will be patrons visiting the shop downstairs for early morning coffee and the business will be hosting occasional afternoon/evening events on site. The entire outdoor space is considered common area for all guests to appreciate and we hope you will participate in all of the fun being offered right outside your door! However, the upstairs area is reserved only for our Vacation Rental By Owner guests and you will not be sharing any indoor spaces. If you'd like to engage in the community, meet locals, feel some excitement and learn more about the area...you will adore this spot! Please feel complimentary to connect with me to learn about any events that may be taking place during your stay or check out the Dancing Baristas Cafe (DBC) on social media.

Guests will have access to the upstairs loft (private entrance) as well as the outdoor spaces. Find yourself at home with a propane grille, outdoor shower (seasonal), outdoor patio furnishings and more. Reserved parking is available for our guests. If you have your dog along, you'll find a modest fenced area where they can loosen their legs after a long car ride!

Within 1.5 miles you'll land in the Historic Downtown of Beaufort, where you'll find bars, eateries, ice cream, live music, ferry services and more. While some may consider walking downtown, most guests opt to hop on a bicycle or golf cart. Rent these locally and take advantage of the delivery services available so they'll be waiting upon your arrival! We'll be happy to share directions for a shortcut to downtown - the trail over the Turner Street bridge is just around the corner!

We bet you'll find yourself planning a return trip before you've even left!

Strategies to get the very best Havelock rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• To find the best value, change your family's Havelock vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Havelock area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Trendy Loft w\/ Energetic Outdoors - 5 min from the beach and pet friendly! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
