Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Pinckney Home Place - Your Waterfront Home Away from Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
