Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book 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 vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Renovated Center Island Home & Garage Apt 4bd\/3ba has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free 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 will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
