Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To book the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Beaufort, NC restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking a perfect Beaufort, NC rental:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beautiful 5 BR Soundfront home featuring Boat Slip, Saline Pool, Fire Pit, Hot T has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
