Vacation rental home tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To find the best rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the rightrental home:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cara May Cottage has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, SC attraction you crave, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
