Vacation rental home tips:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Short walk to ocean and sound! FREE use of golf cart! Several decks & patio! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC beach you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
