The Sooner, The Better

Beaufort, NC rental homes start booking very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, whenever possible. Many families prefer to begin their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve holiday gatherings.

Find your Spot and Establish Dates

Oftentimes, the hardest portion of organizing your vacation is deciding where to search, and when. When the big decisions are resolved, the rest will be easier.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many relatives are planning to share your getaway? Try to remember that many rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the family room. You'll need to figure out what is suitable for the family. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book.

Determine Your Budget

The majority of vacation rentals are presented with a cost range. Confirm the cost for your desired stay. It may be at the high end of the range. Make sure you get cost-sharing commitments from loved ones prior to reserving a costly rental property. One individual in your group needs to be responsible for getting contributions and agreeing to responsibility for the complete rental price at time of reservation.

Let's Discuss Amenities

Are extras like beach chairs, barbecue grills, umbrellas, beach carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental home charge?

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. Take notes of any wear and tear right after you arrive. We also recommend immediately getting in touch with the property manager with a report of any wear and tear, along with your request for any needed repairs. If there is a disagreement about liability later, having the documented problems and contact attempts could be very helpful.
• You may need guidance for a gas fireplace, TV or spa tub. Get in touch with your home manager. They are there to assist. A quick phone call prevents many headaches.
• Don't forget to respect your nearby neighbors. Permanent residents more often than not live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a vacation substantially more pleasant.
• Ask a local. Local people can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best places for wildlife?
• Be sure to protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Always make sure you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cabinets and wardrobes.
• When everything is out, perform a walk-through of the rental home to confirm no damage occurred during your stay. We suggest walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Just about all vacation rental management companies and rental search sites allow travellers to offer feedback. If your rental home and/or property manager was top notch, they will appreciate your praise. If anything went wrong, we suggest being understanding but honest in regards to your experience. Top property owners and managers will try hard to rectify the problem.

Use Your Experience
