Strategies for getting the perfect Fripp Island rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• 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 reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking your prefect Beaufort, SC rental:

• Start by having your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront, perfect mid-island location, golf cart included - 717 Winter Trout has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
