Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Reserve your Beaufort, NC rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 loved ones at the beach.
Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
Often, property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, 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.

Choose dates and max budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. “A Swell Life” 3 Bed\/3 Bath, Oceanfront Condo, Unit 1105 Queens Court has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
If there's a certain Beaufort, NC destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.

Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
