How to find the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Beaufort. Book your Crystal Coast vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Central Historic Beaufort Home: Walk to Waterfront has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
