Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beaufort's Blue Heron Hideaway on Battery Creek has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
