Tips to get the best Beaufort, SC vacation home experience:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

• In the Beaufort, SC area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To find the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Bright Dreamy Cottage-Walkable to Water & Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts 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 the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
