Our comfortable deck invites you into an open, light-filled space that is ideal for every occasion. With stores and eateries less than two miles away, you can discover the striking town of Beaufort by foot, golf cart, bicycle or water! Embark on local adventures to Shackleford Banks & Harkers Island OR simply kickback to savor the cavernous outdoors, grille, friendly locals, games and more! Plus your pooch can come too!

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 best New Bern rental experience:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite New Bern restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Trendy Loft w\/ Energetic Outdoors - 5 min from the beach and pet friendly! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you long to visit, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
