How to get the best Beaufort, SC vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Booking in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home in Beaufort:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Carriage House under Live Oaks in historic Beaufort SC has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, SC destination you simply love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
