Strategies to get the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes In Attitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
