The home was originally intended to be a fishing camp. The downstairs was going to be for all my Grandpa's rowdy friends. The upstairs was supposed to be for the more refined guests! That being said - YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO GO FROM THE UPSTAIRS ROOMS TO THE DOWNSTAIRS ROOMS. Some people find this impressive. Some find it bewildering. I like to escape downstairs!

Fripp Island rental property booking tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hilton Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Hilton Head area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Hilton Head area visitors guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Canal Front, Private Dock, Steps to BEACH, Pool, Food! Resort Access included! has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hilton Head rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
