Tips and Tricks to get the best Beaufort, SC vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront 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 vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through 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 shops and grocery stores.

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
