Booking the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Beaufort. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation home:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Charming Waterfront Car House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, SC destination you love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
