Getting the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Beaufort, NC area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback.

If anything was defective 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.
