Tricks and tips to get the best Beaufort, SC rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

To find the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Beaufort, SC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

Start by having your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. New to VRBO! Resort Access Included! Golf Cart Included! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
If there's a certain Beaufort, SC destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
