• In the Beaufort, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early.

Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses.
