Strategies to get the very best Beaufort, SC vacation property experience:

When to visit Fripp Island & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Reserve your Beaufort, SC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Start by having your family agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. New to VRBO - Resort Access Always Included! Golf Cart Included! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not 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 rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address 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 feedback.
