Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Book your Beaufort, NC rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed 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 additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Beaufort, NC area:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Quaint and Affordable 3BR Beach Cottage - Near Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, 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 property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
