Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Beaufort, SC area:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Couples Getaway - Sweeping Views of the Atlantic Ocean has 1 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
