Tips for getting the perfect Beaufort, NC rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Gathering Place - 1 Block from Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
