Our top Emerald Isle rental home booking tips:

Finding the best value:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Sand Castle Cottage, Oceanside House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to 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 fix it.
