Tips to get the perfect Beaufort, NC vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the best rental:

• Start by having your family commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. “Spivey’s Korner” Ocean Views, Easy Steps to quiet sandy Beach - secure WiFi has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, NC destination you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
