Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best rental:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Can't beat these Ocean Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
