We would like to welcome you to "The Painless Plateau" bungalow on Taylor's Creek in Beaufort.

Our home is comfortable and clean and is supplied with everything you need, including TVs with Roku in the living room and each bedroom, high speed wireless internet and a modern kitchen with all new appliances. Fresh bed linens are supplied complimentary of charge, as are bath towels and wash clothes.

Our bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The shower for the second bath, is an outdoor shower which is private and comfortably accessible directly from the bathroom.

There is also a additional room off the living room which has a comfortable day bed. We call it the "Hemingway Room" as the decor is inspired by Hemingway's boat, Pilar.

We've just added a giant floating dock with room for 2 boats and there is also a floating kayak dock, fold down swim ladder, fish cleaning station and bench seating on the pier.

From the front porch and dock, you will savor a continuous parade of boats, wild horses and pirate shenanigans. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal harbor.

You will only be 1/2 mile from downtown Beaufort, where you'll find plenty of eateries, bars and stores.

It's a fast drive to world class beaches, the ICW, the North Carolina aquarium, charter boat fishing and cruising and diving. There are fishing tournaments and festivals galore, including The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, The Beaufort Pirate Invasion, The Beaufort Historic Home and Garden Tour, The Beaufort Music Festival, Wooden Boat Show, Harker's Island Duck Decoys, and NC Seafood Festival. There are always fun activities in town including live music nearly nightly on the town boardwalk.

Beaufort was one of Blackbeard's favorite hangouts. Had you been our guest in 1717, you would have laid gaze on Blackbeard's mooring , as the home that he frequently visited while on holiday from pirating, is diagonally behind us. There is little doubt that he walked across our property to reach his girlfriend's home. He ran aground off Beaufort's coast 300 years ago, and the Beaufort branch of the North Carolina Maritime Museum proudly displays artifacts salvaged from his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

Beaufort has been voted best yachting destination and America's Coolest Modest Town. The Cape Lookout National Seashore was newly voted best National Park.

If you rent our home we ask that you respect the tranquility and privacy of your neighbors. While Beaufort has become a tourist destination, it is still a peaceful community, especially after dark.

We know you will appreciate your vacation at "The Simple Plateau" in Beaufort .

Strategies to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to select the best rental:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Waterfront Cottage on Taylor's Creek w\/ Boat Dock - Near Shops and Restaurants has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. 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 expeditiously to solve it.
