Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose your Beaufort, NC rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Retrouvaille = Oceanfront Beauty! Single Family Home on NC Southern Outer Banks. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
