Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Beaufort, NC vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous 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 vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, NC area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
