How to get the best Beaufort, NC vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

During your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
