The Earlier, The Better

Hilton Head vacation homes book months (and up to a year) in advance. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is highly recommended, whenever possible. Holiday reunions can be a great time for groups to plot their Summer trips..

Pick your Town and Vacation Week

Choosing an Adequately-Sized Rental

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Be aware that a lot of properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the family room. You'll need to determine what is acceptable for the group. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically accessible online. Otherwise, communicate with the property manager before you reserve the home.

Create a Budget

Does your preferred rental property fit your budget during that preferred Summer week? If many individuals or families are sharing the cost, make certain each person understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are prepared to pay. Most rental documents call for a single individual to be responsible for the full reservation.

Its All About Amenities

What amenities is your group searching for? Do you simply desire a rental with a swimming pool, jacuzzi or beach volleyball court? Do you want to be far from the crowds, or near a city setting? Will the property have bicycles and beach toys for use during your stay? Make a list of "necessities and preferences" from your group to help filter your search to the perfect rental.

Accessability

Elderly guests will thank you for not reserving a stairs-access-only condo on the 3rd floor. If wheel chair accessibility, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is required, factor that into your search. The majority of vacation home postings include a list of amenities.
