Beaufort, SC vacation rental tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.

Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation.
