Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. To get the best value, change your family's Beaufort, SC trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect rental in the Beaufort, SC area:

• Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Duke off Bay: A Vintage Bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
