Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Cottage with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
