Beaufort, NC rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The ultimate OCEANFRONT bungalow close to everything has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC destination you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
