Booking the best Beaufort rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Ward Creek Cottage Down East has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Havelock beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. 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.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review 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 remedy it.
