Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Georgetown, SC rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Georgetown, SC area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Georgetown, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental home in Georgetown:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Longleaf Nature Preserve Great Property for a Getaway! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Georgetown, SC destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
