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

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Original Craftsman Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Beaufort, SC beach you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
