Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Hilton Head rental home & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in Hilton Head. To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Hilton Head area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hilton Head area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the perfectrental home:

• To start, have your family select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Mooring Buoy 54 has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hilton Head rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
