Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best rental in the Beaufort, NC area:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Updated Oceanfront Duplex in Ocean Oaks near the Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
