Where to find and book a great vacation home:

Before you start to book "Fun Beach House", go through our brief checklist of points to consider.

The Earlier, The Better

Like many desirable vacation spots, In Sullivan's Island the best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months in advance is highly recommended, whenever possible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to find and book your vacation home..

Settle on your Place and Travel Week

Oftentimes, the hardest portion of preparing for your vacation is figuring out where to go, and when. When the big decisions are resolved, everything else is more straightforward.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many family members are planning to share your getaway? Consider that most properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually available on the internet. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve the home.

Have a Budget

Make certain "Fun Beach House" suits your price range *during your desired dates*. If a few groups or families are sharing the cost, make sure that each group understands their obligations and has agreed to a maximum they are prepared to chip in. Most rental contracts call for a single person to be responsible for the entire reservation.

Its All About Amenities

What property features is your family searching for? Is a screened deck a requirement? Will the property need to be beachfront, downtown, or close to night life? Are items like beach chairs, barbecue grills, beach umbrellas, beach carts or coolers available and included in your rental property payment? Make a list of "necessities and desires" from your company to help narrow your search to the most suitable rental.

Accessibility and Special Considerations

Do certain people in your group have special needs? Make sure that you remember and inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Paws-Friendly, Please

Make sure you include your furrry friends. While quite a few rentals permit animal friends, guidelines and costs vary per property. You'll want to study descriptions and contracts carefully. Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your agreement.

It Is Time to Search

When the location, dates and guests are decided, search multiple sources for the greatest rental selection. In addition to Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we advise searching Google for "Sullivan's Island local vacation homes" for local vacation home management companies. In addition to having exclusive properties, local companies provide you with top-notch service..

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to be sure the property has everything you need. If it is something is missing, the rental home management company may know of very similar properties that better suit your wishes and budget..

Some rental home owners will negotiate rates, and some will not. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. Your greatest chance for a reduced rate will be switching to a less desirable week.

Study the Total Agreement

Read the whole contract and make sure you fully understand who is liable for:

• Utility bills
• Internet
• Telephone service
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Daily Cleaning (If Available)
• Trash collection
• Maintenance (get a phone number)
• Check in & Check Out Key Exchange
• Parking Fees

Get a total that includes taxes, animal and other extra fees.

Cancellation Policies

Cancellation policies are different with each rental. Rental home management companies and individual property owners commonly offer their clients the option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance shields the renter against emergencies and weather events, It offers relief should disaster strike.

Book It

When you think you've found "the one", start the booking process. Keep in mind that most rental agreements require a substantial rental down payment and/or security deposit to cover the property owner.

Where to Get Help

Put the rental manager's contact information into your smart phone and wallet for easy access to answers during your visit.

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. Record the condition of the rental unit right away. We also recommend immediately getting in touch with the rental manager with a report of any problems, along with your request for any repairs. This will prevent disputes during checkout.
• Ask questions. You could need instructions for a gas fireplace, Television or jacuzzi. Get in touch with your property manager. They are there to assist. A phone call can save hours of difficulty.
• Make sure to be a good neighbor. Local people will probably be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your home.
• Ask a local. Residents are a terrific source of recommendations.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure to protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the home locked up when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all your belongings. Sweep each room in the home for left-behind items. Inspect bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, outdoor patios, the pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Make sure to walk through the rental one last time and check for damages. If possible, do this walk-out review with the property owner present. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your choice? Most rental home websites ask for reviews after your stay . Property owners and rental managers will appreciate your glowing reviews. If anything was wrong and they didn't correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the rental home was not as described, you may want to make it a point as part of your feedback.

Iterate

Did they feel about the property? Hopefully everything was outstanding and you are ready to re-book the rental home for next season. Otherwise, you have gained valuable experience to help with another search.
