Before you decide to book "Beautiful, Professionally Decorated Second Row Beach Home", read through our short list of factors to consider.

The Earlier, The Better

Georgetown, SC vacation homes start booking early. To find the best selection, begin your planning and search 6-12 months prior to your vacation. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to find and book your vacation rental..

Find your Area and Establish Dates

Consensus can often be tricky among family, but once this complicated part is complete everything will start to slide in place.

How Much Rental Do You Actually Need?

How many family members are planning to share your getaway? Try to remember that many rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the family room. You'll need to figure out what is suitable for the family. Most rental home listings will summarize each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Stick to a Budget

Does your chosen rental property suit your budget during that prime Summer week? If multiple groups or families are sharing the cost, ensure each group knows their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are willing to pay. A single individual in your group must be in charge of getting payments and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental payment at time of booking.

Property Amenities

What amenities is the family searching for? Is a screened porch a necessity? Do you want to be away from it all, or close to civilization? Does the unit have bicycles and beach toys available for use during your stay? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and wants" from your company to help filter your search to the most suitable rental.

Accessibility and Special Concerns

Grandparents will appreciate you for not reserving a stairs-only condominium on the 3rd floor. Make sure to remember and ask about wheelchair accessibility, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Paws-Friendly, Please

During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. Record the condition of the rental property immediately upon arrival. We also suggest promptly phoning the rental home manager with a report of any damage, together with your request for any repairs. This may protect against disputes during checkout.
• Ask questions. Should there be any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool functions, etc... we recommend you ask the rental manager promptly. A phone call can save several hours of hassle.
• Make sure to be a good next-door neighbor. Residents will be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your primary residence.
• Ask a local. Local people may point you in the right direction.
• Remember to protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Confirm that you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cabinetry and cabinets.
• As soon as your things are all out, begin a walk-through of the property to make sure that no damage occurred in the course of your stay. Whenever you can, do this walk-out inspection with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Many property management companies and rental search sites allow customers to give comments. If your property and/or property manager was excellent, they will appreciate your compliments.
