A recent guest had this to say about the property:
"A great little bungalow, very generously appointed. The setting is the kind of elegant you only get in the live oaks, gardens, fountains, ferns and bright sunshine. The patio outside the bungalow is rather handsome, 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 rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Georgetown, SC area. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Georgetown, SC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Georgetown, SC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Georgetown, SC attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
