How to book the best Beaufort, SC vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal SC. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 453 Tarpon - New to VRBO! Resort Access Always Inlcuded! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently 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 fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
