Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Perfect for family vacation beautiful Emerald Isle. Feels like home away home! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Beaufort, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
