Strategies to get the best Beaufort, SC vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Beaufort, SC vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Gorgeous Coastal Getaway - Walk to Shops, Beach & Parris Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
