How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Pamlico area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Pamlico area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Pamlico area area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Pamlico area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Entire Home, Located Downtown with easy walk to shopping and dining! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is best for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Pamlico area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
