Tricks and tips to get the perfect Beaufort rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserve your Beaufort, SC rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Original Craftsman Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
