Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Beaufort, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of 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.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually 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 crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective 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.
