Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. Book your rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental in Fripp Island:

• First, have your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Renovated Center Island Home & Garage Apt 4bd\/3ba has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
