Before you decide to book "Renovated Cottage with Private Oceanfront Parking, NO extra fees", review our short checklist of things to consider.

Begin Your Search Early

Beaufort, NC rental homes start booking early. For the best selection, begin your planning and search Six-Twelve months in advance of a trip. Holiday reunions can be a great time for groups to plan their Summer family trips..

Select a Town and Time

Agreement can often be difficult among family, but once this challenging part is complete everything will quickly fall in place.

How Many Beds?

Confirm who is going, and how many/what kind of bedroom arrangement you will need. Consider that many rental homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room. It is important to determine what is acceptable for your family. Generally rental home listings will outline each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Make a Spending Limit

Many rental homes are advertised with a price range. Confirm the cost for your desired trip. It might be at the top end of the range. If several groups or relatives are sharing the cost, confirm that each group understands their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to contribute. One individual in your family needs to be given the task of collecting payments and agreeing to responsibility for the entire rental cost at time of booking.

Let's Discuss Amenities

What amenities is your family looking for? Is a screened deck a requirement? Are you more interested in a natural landscape or nightlife? Does the property have bikes and beach toys available for use throughout your stay? Gather a list of "needs and wants" from your company to help narrow your search to the most suitable property.

Special Factors to consider

Sometimes the elder generation has problems with stairways. If wheel chair accessibility, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are necessary, factor that into your search. The majority of rental postings include a list of amenities.
