Our top Beaufort vacation rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. Reserve your New Bern vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. TOP 5% rated, Nautical-themed Beaufort Bungalow near Downtown Beautiful Gardens has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
