Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Atlantic Beach vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Beaufort, NC attractions and restaurants.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Direct Oceanfront w\/ 2 Balconies, Pools & Sound Access w\/fishing and boat slips has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
