Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your Beaufort, NC rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve 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 or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.

You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. message the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.

• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.

• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback.
