Begin by choosing which particular area of Hilton Head you prefer to explore, and the choose dates you'll be vacationing.

Select a Size

Determine who is going, and how many/what kind of bedroom arrangement you will need. Be aware that many rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living area. It is important to determine what is acceptable for the group. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available online. Otherwise, speak to the property owner before you reserve the home.

Stay on a Budget

Most rental homes are marketed with a price range. Determine the rate for your selected week. It may be at the high end of the range. Make sure you get cost-sharing commitments from company prior to booking a costly rental. Normally, one person in the group will be in charge of making the complete reservation and recovering each person's share.

If the vacation rental and/or property manager was excellent, they will appreciate your recommendations.
