A recent guest had this to say about the property:
"A great little bungalow, very generously appointed. The setting is the kind of pretty you only get in the live oaks, gardens, fountains, ferns and bright sunshine. The patio outside the bungalow is rather impressive, something you can't really get from the photos. Julie and her husband were superb hosts, attending to every need, offering guidance on local food and even helping with beach access. We were privileged to be the first guests in this bungalow, and it's highly recommended for all who may follow. Thanks Julie!"

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in Georgetown. To book the best rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Georgetown, SC area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Georgetown, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation home in Georgetown:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
