Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. River's Edge has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
