Our top Atlantic Beach rental home booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the best Beaufort, NC rental home:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Cozy Atlantic Beach 4 bed\/2 bath cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
