Booking the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Beaufort, NC restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Atlantic Beach:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Whimsical Whale - Oceanfront Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, NC attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
