A private path behind the home leads you straight to the public beach path, and the ocean is a fast walk away across South Forest Beach Drive.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Hilton Head area. Reserve your Hilton Head vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hilton Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Hilton Head area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Hilton Head area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 3 bedroom\/2 bathroom near ocean home with private pool close to beach access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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.
