"A great little bungalow, very gorgeously 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 handsome, something you can't really get from the photos. Julie and her husband were charming 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!"

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Georgetown, SC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
