Grab some burgers or steaks and toss them on the propane grille or go low and slow on the classic charcoal grille. Dinner's ready! Grab family/friends and meet in the dining room where there's room for 4 at the round table and 2 more can belly up to the bar. If you prefer to savor the evening breeze, move dinner outside to the rear balcony where there's seating for 4 at the outdoor dining table.
After dinner, relax with a Netflix movie on the 65" flat screen, surf the web via the high-speed internet, or opt for a more spectacular view by grabbing your favorite drink and heading out to the front-side balcony, where you can marvel at the sunset just behind the Marina Store and Deli. With seating for 2, and an invigorating breeze, it's the ideal spot to savor the moment. Sunset also marks the ideal time to embark on an island adventure on the golf cart. Cruising Fripp is a must! As nighttime settles in and the days adventures fade into memories, you have the luxury of choosing between 2 master suites, each promising unparalleled comfort.

Our top Beaufort, SC rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Beaufort, SC area. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. 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.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have coupons for local tours and attractions.
