Search Early and Frequently

Hilton Head vacation rentals start booking early. Booking your rental 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, when possible. Holiday reunions are a great time for families to plan their Summer family vacations..

Select a Village and Date

Oftentimes, the hardest portion of scheduling your vacation is choosing where to search, and when. As soon as the big decisions are resolved, everything else is simpler.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Consider that most rentals list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You will need to figure out what is acceptable for your group. Generally vacation home listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Determine Your Budget

Many vacation homes are marketed with a cost range. Confirm the cost for your desired week. It could be at the high end of the range. Make sure to get cost-sharing commitments from friends and family prior to reserving an expensive rental. In most cases, just one person in the group will be liable for making the complete reservation and collecting each person's contribution.

Property Amenities

What amenities is your group looking for? Do you simply want a rental with a swimming pool, jacuzzi or volleyball court? Are you more interested in wildlife or night life? Are sheet sets included with the rental contract, or will you need to take your own? Make a list of "needs and preferences" from your company to help filter your search to the most appropriate property.

Accessability

Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are required, include that into your search. The majority of property postings include a list of amenities.

Go ahead and Take the Dog

Are you or other individuals in the gang traveling with a pet? Pets are welcome at many rentals, but policies differ. Study your agreement thoroughly! Extra charges may apply when animals are included. Ask questions *prior to* you reserve!

Negotiate

Re-read the description to be sure the rental has everything you need. If it is lacking, the rental home management company may know of similar homes that better fit your desires and budget..

Some rental owners will negotiate prices, and some will not. If they are hesitant to budge on a peak-season week, try getting an extra night. Your best chance for a reduced rate will be shifting to a less desirable week.

Book It

During your Stay

• Record the condition of the rental property immediately upon arrival. If you find damages, or if repairs are required get in touch with the home manager without delay. This can protect against conflicts during check out.
• Ask questions. If you have any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, condo access, swimming pool functions, etc... we suggest you ask the property manager promptly. A quick phone call prevents many complications.
• Don't forget to be a good next-door neighbor. . Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a trip considerably more pleasant.
• Ask a local. Residents are a good source of advice. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great date night, or the best areas for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Remember to protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation home locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Double-check each room of the rental to make certain you've packed all belongings.
• Make sure to walk through the rental one last time and look for damages. We advise walking through with the property manager wherever possible (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you rate your experience? Most vacation rental web sites seek testimonials after your stay is complete. Rental owners and rental managers will thank you for favorable reviews. If anything went wrong, we recommend being understanding but straightforward regarding your stay. Top owners and managers will work hard to fix the problem.
