Booking the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking the rightrental home:

• First, have your group commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Spectacular Views! OCEANFRONT 8 BR, 4 BA Duplex has 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
