Beaufort, NC rental home booking tips:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your Beaufort, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.

You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Emerald Isle coastal home with ocean views, walk to shops and the beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your trip.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Contact the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. 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 fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
