Finding the best Beaufort, SC rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Rooftop Deck w\/ 360 views just across from beach access has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, SC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
