A recent guest had this to say about the property:
"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 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!"

Booking the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in Georgetown. To find the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Georgetown, SC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Charming Historic Guest House in the Heart of Town has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your group.
• If there's a specific Georgetown, SC beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
