The Earlier You Start, The Better The Choices

Beaufort, NC vacation rentals are reserved months (and up to a year) in advance. For the best selection, start your planning and search Six-Twelve months prior to your trip. Holiday reunions can be a popular time for family groups to plan their Summer vacations..

Pick your Town and Travel Week

Sometimes, the toughest part of planning your vacation is deciding where to search, and when. Once the big decisions are hammered out, everything else is much easier.

Select a Size

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Bear in mind that a lot of rentals list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the family room. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your family. Generally rental home listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Stay on a Budget

Does your selected vacation property fit your budget during that choice Summer week? Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from family and friends prior to booking a costly rental property. Most rental agreements require a single individual to be responsible for the entire reservation.

Make a List of "Wishes" and "Necessities"

What property features is the family looking for? Do you just want a property with a pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Are you more interested in wildlife or night life? Are bedsheets included with the rental agreement, or will you need to provide your own? Make a list of prioritized "necessities and wishes" from your company to help narrow your search to the perfect property.

Accessability

Do certain members of your crew have special needs? Be sure to remember and inquire about wheelchair accessibility, pool lifts and special equipment needs..

Have You Considered 4-Legged Family Members?

During your Stay

• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, make a record of any trouble spots of the property. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to report your observations. If there is a disagreement about responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• If there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool operation, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A brief phone call avoids many problems.
• Please be considerate of the neighborhood. Residents invariably live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Locals are a fantastic source of advice. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best spots for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the home secured while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

When its Time to Leave

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your things. Sweep each room in the house for forgotten possessions. Check bathrooms, the garage, cabinets, backyards, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Once your things are all out, perform a walk-through of the rental home to verify no property damage occurred during your stay. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever possible (often this isn't possible).. If the property manager is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your vacation? Most rental management companies and rental search sites allow customers to offer reviews. If your vacation rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your compliments. If something went wrong, we recommend being pleasant but genuine in regards to your stay. Top property owners and managers will try hard to fix the situation.

Learn and Improve
