Tips to get the perfect Beaufort, NC rental home experience:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• Reserve your Beaufort, NC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters 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 time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose and book the right Beaufort, NC rental home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ward Creek Cottage Down East has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
