Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Beaufort, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing yourrental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Family Escape: Walk to the Ocean has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 comments.
