Getting the best vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Fripp Island rental home:

• Summer is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Beaufort, SC area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Renovated Center Island Home & Garage Apt 4bd\/3ba has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.

Advice for a great stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
