Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Hilton Head area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Hilton Head area. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hilton Head attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hilton Head visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Oceanfront, Sea Pines, 22 Black Skimmer Ln. - Pool & Private Beach Access has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Hilton Head destination you are enamored with, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
