Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best modest southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine
Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of many smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars.

Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where pretty mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent eateries and boutique one-of-a-kind stores line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local eateries to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion photos, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines which will 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Beaufort:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Charming Waterfront Carriage House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
