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

How to get the best rental value:

• To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best vacation rental in Beaufort:

• First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Charming Waterfront Car House has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC destination you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
