Vacation rental tips:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your family select dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Amazing Views - OCEANFRONT 1\/2 Duplex! 25% discount remaining June 2024 weeks has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
