Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Beaufort, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Hot Mess - Pool, Oceanview, Pet-Friendly Home has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
