Tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in Hilton Head. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hilton Head area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hilton Head area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront, Sea Pines, Pool & Private Beach Access has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about 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 feedback.
