Tips to get the very best Sullivan's Island vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Sullivans Island. To get the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Sullivan's Island vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family select dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Historic Captain's Quarters on Sullivan's! Unique Opportunity to Vacation in a Piece of History! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Sullivan's Island rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Sullivan's Island attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
