Vacation rental booking tips:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in Beaufort. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Central Historic Beaufort Home: Walk to Waterfront has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Morehead City destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
