How to get the best Beaufort, NC rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Beaufort, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectrental:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Ocean-view 2 blocks to beach; Sleeps 9-10; 3000 sqft; PKS boat ramps has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
