Fripp Island vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Beaufort, SC rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 266 Tarpon Blvd, Crab Cottage - New to VRBO! Resort Access Included! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
