How to find the best Beaufort, NC rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Beaufort, NC attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Updated Oceanfront Duplex in Ocean Oaks near the Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, NC destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
