About this property

Paws Awhile, Oceanside 3BR 2BA home with Golf Cart!

Welcome to Paws Awhile, your charming Oceanside retreat where relaxation comes naturally and every day feels like a breath of fresh, salty air. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was thoughtfully curated to create the perfect setting for a memorable beach vacation - whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or your canine companions.

At the heart of the home, you’ll find a warm and inviting great room that seamlessly blends the living, dining, and kitchen areas into one comfortable gathering space. Designed with connection in mind, this central hub is perfect for movie nights on the Smart TV, catching up on your favorite shows, or simply enjoying each other’s company. High-speed wireless internet keeps you as connected as you’d like to be, but if unplugging is your vacation goal, there’s plenty of space to do that too. The dining area offers the ideal backdrop for card games, puzzles, and lingering conversations long after dinner ends.

The well-equipped kitchen is ready for everything from easy beach breakfasts to full family feasts. Featuring updated stainless steel appliances and stocked with all the essentials - utensils, small appliances, slow cooker, and even a gas grill - you’ll have everything you need to dine your way. Prefer to skip the cooking altogether? That’s perfectly fine. This is your time to unwind.

Step outside and let the coastal breeze do the rest. The front porch is furnished with rocking chairs - perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or sunset chats! The back deck invites you to soak in the sea air, while the enclosed yard provides a wonderful space for family fun, including your four-legged friends!

Ready to hit the beach? The nearest public beach access is just one block away at Deer Horn Rd and Ocean Dr - making spontaneous seaside strolls effortless. For added convenience and fun, a golf cart is available to rent for $125/week + tax.

When it’s time to rest, three comfortable bedrooms await:

• Bedroom #1: A spacious King Suite with Smart TV and private en suite full bath - your peaceful retreat at day’s end.

• Bedroom #2: A cozy Double bedroom with Smart TV and access to a shared full bath.

• Bedroom #3: A Twin-over-Double Bunk room with Smart TV - ideal for kids or additional guests. Bedrooms #2 and #3 share a conveniently located full bath.

Located in the heart of Emerald Isle, Paws Awhile places you right in the middle of everything. Within two miles, you’ll find grocery stores, coffee shops, local restaurants, mini golf, walking and bike paths, and the Salty Pirate Water Park. The Bogue Inlet Pier is nearby for the anglers in your group, while a scenic drive brings you to the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon State Park, Morehead City, and historic Beaufort.

With so much to explore and a welcoming place to return to each day, Paws Awhile is the perfect home base for your next unforgettable beach getaway!

We had a few mishaps with checking in. We didn’t pay for early check in but were told we could check in early if the property was ready which I had requested. An emergency arose (which I totally understand cannot be helped), but at check in time, 4:00, cleaners were still there and were still there until almost 4:30. I also understand we could have checked in at the 4:00 scheduled time but did not want to interrupt their process of cleaning, so we just get driving around until they left.The place was very clean at check in.The golf cart had numerous hiccup incidents and especially at traffic intersections when it stalled yet showed it was fully charged. This happened multiple times throughout our trip with even a short trip to park at the beach. The golf cart was a sandy mess upon arrival, but I sprayed it off every day to try and keep it clean and as much sand free as possible. When my husband and I reached out about the golf cart issues on check in date with a video, 6/17, we still were never contacted before check out on 6/21. Lastly, the house is listed as having a gas grill which we took multiple items to grill, and it was a charcoal grill which we were not prepared for and didn’t have the charcoal plus fluid. I realize we could have purchased those items, but the advertised information needs to be accurate when viewing a property to rent.All in all, the family enjoyed; however, I am stating some issues that could have been handled better.

Kelli, thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re happy your family enjoyed the trip overall and that the home was very clean when you settled in, but we’re truly sorry for the frustrations that impacted your arrival experience. We agree that your arrival should have felt smooth, and we understand why the delayed cleaning was disappointing, even with the emergency that came up. After reading your review, we looked further into the golf cart concern and found the text and video you sent. We are so sorry that message did not reach the team who could assist during your stay, and the video did not come through in a viewable format on our end. That does not change the fact that you reached out and deserved a response. We should have connected with you, and we’re very sorry that did not happen. The golf cart has since been repaired, and we are also looking into the grill information right away. Had we connected during your stay, we would have wanted the chance to help immediately, including with the grill situation so your family could enjoy the meals you planned. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will be reaching out directly for the opportunity to make this right. Thank you again for choosing Bluewater and for giving us the chance to do better. With sincere appreciation, Bluewater Vacation Rentals 🌊☀️💙
