Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Fripp Island rental home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons 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 reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Fripp Island:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront Center Island - 130 Captain John Fripp has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
