How to book the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Book your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.

• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.

• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
