Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and choosing the perfectrental:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Charming Port Royal Home w\/ Fire Pit + Yard! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or might be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
