Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Beaufort, NC area. To book the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Beaufort, NC attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the right Beaufort, NC rental:

• First, have your group select trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Walkable to Downtown! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is right for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-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 belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
