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

Find your perfect rental:

• Summertime is high season in the Georgetown, SC area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Georgetown, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the best Georgetown, SC rental:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
