Strategies for getting the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking the right Beaufort, NC vacation home:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
