Strategies to get the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Beaufort. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Beaufort, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Secluded waterfront home that is 5 min away from downtown Beaufort has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the host before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC destination you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
