• Summer time is high season in Beaufort. To book the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall.

Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean?
