Strategies to get the very best Beaufort, SC rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Book your Beaufort, SC rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking the bestrental home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Castaway Cottage - pet friendly, close to beach access, golf cart included, 399 Tarpon Boulevard has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Beaufort, SC attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
