Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Beaufort, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Quaint Cottage in Beaufort, NC (Trails End) has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
