Booking the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Beaufort:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Idyllic waterside home with a hot tub, open-concept layout, W/D, & central AC has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Havelock beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
