Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Beaufort, SC area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal SC. To book the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself.

• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
