Beaufort, SC rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Fripp Island. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront, perfect mid-island location, golf cart included - 717 Winter Trout has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC destination you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
