Rental home booking tips:

When to go & When to reserve a Beaufort, NC rental home:

• To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental 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.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle coastal home with ocean views, walk to shops and the beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, NC beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
