Finding the best Fripp Island vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Beaufort, SC rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Fripp Island. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Private 4BR\/4.5BA House w\/2 Golf Carts- Close to Beach and Marina has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If not, email or call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
