New Tommy Bahama linens to elevate your stay. The bedrooms are enormous and allow for privacy, while the giant kitchen/island and back deck provide the gathering space for your entire crew. If you've never been to Fripp, it's hard to explain how special the island and beaches are until you see it for yourself; and this home is ideally located to make the most of it. It is very different than your typical, busy Myrtle Beach type of trip. I will provide you with tons of information so you know what to expect and can plan the best trip possible.

This handsome and generously appointed home has been refreshed throughout. It is ideally located near the club home and swimming pools but is only steps from the beach. Many locations on the island lose their beach during high tide, but the public access at the end of the driveway takes you to a permanent beach. Savor the salt-water breezes from 2 screened-in porches, a sizable deck, and huge front porch.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. As close as you can get without paying ocean front price! Very responsive owner has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, SC beach you are enamored with, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
