How to book the best vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. To get the largest rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home:

• First, have your family commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Carriage House under Live Oaks in historic Beaufort SC has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
