Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Hilton Head. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Hilton Head attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hilton Head area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hilton Head area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking a perfectrental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront, Sea Pines, 22 Black Skimmer Ln. - Pool & Private Beach Access has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hilton Head rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
