Strategies to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated 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 property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Drake's Cove - Waterfront Oasis has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you are crazy about, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• 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 dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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.
