Strategies for getting the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. message the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it.
