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 appealing town of Beaufort by foot, golf cart, bicycle or water! Embark on local adventures to Shackleford Banks & Harkers Island OR simply kickback to appreciate the roomy 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 newly 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 savor 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!

Our top Rental booking tips:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, 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 unaffordable during the high season. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family 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 New Bern vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
