Our top Hilton Head rental property booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hilton Head visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Hilton Head area:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Captains Quarters with a Shelter Cove Marina view has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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.
