The Rental Process

Many people are shocked to learn the number of rental homes can be found in their area of interest. Rental home accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of international research sites like Homeaway and VRBO.

Rentals are often owner operated or managed by property management companies. For owners not directly involved with the management of their property, management companies are instrumental in assisting guests with making reservations, checking-in, cleaning, as well as routine maintenance problems that may occur.

We've assembled a short guide to assist you in getting most out of your vacation rental experience.

Finding and booking the right vacation property:

Before you start to book " Family friendly - affordable! Close to Parris Island! Bikes! Fire pit - s'mores", review our short list of things to consider.

The Earlier You Begin, The Better The Selection

Beaufort, SC vacation homes start booking early. To guarantee the most desirable selection of properties, we advise searching and booking your Beaufort, SC vacation home 6-Twelve months before your travel dates, whenever feasible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to find and reserve your vacation rental..

Pick your Area and Vacation Week

Start by determining which particular area of Beaufort, SC you want to visit, and the approximate dates you'll be vacationing.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many relatives are planning to share your trip? Be aware that a lot of homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the living area. It is important to determine what is acceptable for your company. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually accessible online. If not, speak to the property manager before you book.

Commit to a Budget

Will your chosen rental suit your budget during that prime Summer week? If several groups or loved ones are sharing the cost, check that everybody understands their obligation and has agreed to a maximum they are prepared to pay. Most rental agreements require a single person to be responsible for the full reservation.

Rental Home Amenities

What amenities is your group interested in? Do you only desire a vacation home with a pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Does the property need to be oceanfront, in the downtown area, or near shopping? Are items like beach chairs, barbecue grills, beach umbrellas, beach carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental property charge? Gather a list of "needs and desires" from your party to help narrow your search to the perfect rental.

Accessability

Commonly the senior generation has problems with stairways. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is required, include that into your search. The majority of rental home listings include a list of amenities.

Fido Approved

Are you or other individuals in the party visiting with a four-legged friend? While many rentals permit pets or animals, rules and fees fluctuate per rental. Don't forget to read descriptions and contracts carefully. Fees may apply when animals are added. Ask questions *before* you book!

It Is Time to Search

Several websites exist to match clients with rental owners.. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Beaufort, SC local rentals" for local rental home management companies. Local agencies will often have a unique collection of rental homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

When you have found your dream rental, check to confirm your trip dates are available.

Although not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If they are unwilling to budge on a highly-desirable week, try getting an additional night. Off-peak weeks are likely to be negotiable more often than peak-season..

Read Through The Agreement

Find out which of the following is included in your quoted rate:

• Utilities
• Internet Connectivity
• Phone service
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Pay Per View Movies
• Cleaning Fees
• Trash collection
• Maintenance policies
• Check in & Check Out Key Exchange
• Parking Fees

Ensure that your quote includes all taxes and fees.

Trip Insurance

Cancellation policies vary for each property. Property management companies and individual rental owners often offer their clients the choice to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which frequently costs between 1% - 5% of your base rental rate, can provide travellers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental costs) for any days missed as a consequence of personal medical-related emergencies or storms, and additionally hurricane evacuation expenses, such as a unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas.

Complete the Reservation

When everything seems correct, it's finally time for you to sign on the dotted line. Keep in mind that most rental contracts will require a substantial rental down payment and/or security deposit to cover the vacation rental owner.

Get Contact Info

Make sure that you get the manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend keeping the contact's details in your cell phone and wallet.

Congratulations! All that is left is enjoying your vacation!

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. To make sure no damages are attributed to your visit, create a record of any trouble spots of the rental. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your findings.
• Ask questions. You might need instructions for a gas fireplace, TV or jacuzzi. Call your property manager. They are there to assist. A phone call can save several hours of trouble.
• Please be considerate of the community. Often times, neighboring homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay substantially more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Local people are a good source of advice. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best places for wildlife?
• Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the home secured when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Check Out Time

• Double-check every room of the rental to be sure you've gathered all belongings.
• When everything is out, do a walk-through of the rental home to make sure that no property damage occurred during your remain. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your rental? Virtually all rental property web sites seek testimonials after your stay is complete. Property owners and property managers will thank you for glowing ratings. If anything was wrong and they didn't correct it in a practical manner, or if the vacation rental was not as described, you will want to make it a point in your feedback.

Iterate
