Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Lakefront, Golf Cart Included, Pet Friendly - 259 Deer Run has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
