How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Beaufort. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
