Tips to get the very best Beaufort, NC vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Spectacular Oceanfront Family Cottage Retreat in Atlantic Beach! has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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 review.
