Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Sullivan's Island vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Sullivan's Island area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Sullivan's Island visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best rental:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Historic Captain's Quarters on Sullivan's! Unique Opportunity to Vacation in a Piece of History! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Sullivan's Island rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If not, call the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Sullivan's Island beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
