How to get the best Beaufort, NC rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Beaufort, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectrental home:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Cozy Atlantic Beach 4 bed\/2 bath cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the host before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, NC beach you are crazy about, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
