Our Program
Operation R&R has been established to provide an opportunity for married military
personnel to reconnect with their immediate family members upon their return to
the United States on leave or for permanent assignment. Our program has a limited
number of vacation properties available for this purpose. Reservations begin on
September 5, 2009 and run through May 15, 2010, and temporarily stop during the summer due to donated units being rented. Phase 4 will start in September 2010 and run through the end of May 2011. There is no charge to our military
men and women for the use of the vacation property. You will, however, be expected
to sign a rental agreement and provide a credit card in the event there is damage
resulting from your stay. Other criteria are noted below:
- Must have been deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan within the last 12 months
- Currently on Active Duty
- Married (spouse and children are eligible to come with you)
- An affiliation with Fort Stewart Army Base, Hunter Army Air Base or Beaufort Marine Air Base
- Minimum stay at the vacation home is 4 nights, maximum is 7 nights
- If possible, plan a Saturday to Saturday vacation (other options possible)
- Sorry, pets are not allowed

Cancellation Policy
The use of this home or villa has been donated by an individual Hilton Head owner
and assigned by a Management company for the sole purpose of providing you and your family
with a time to rest, relax and reconnect. Along with the donation comes countless hours
of preparation by volunteers in order to make this vacation possible. It is a community
effort to say "thanks" to you for your service and to help ease the transition back
to family life.
This policy goes into effect only when you have a reservation
for a specific property for your vacation.
At that time,if you find that you need to cancel for whatever reason, please make
sure you contact the rental company who provided you with the property and Operation
R&R at the email address (above). This cancellation needs to occur
at least 10 days prior to your arrival or you will be charged a $50.00 cancellation
fee to help offset administrative costs. It will be charged to your credit card
on file. Please understand that by canceling at the last minute, the property that
is assigned to you is taken off the market for that time period and the owner is
losing income that he/she could have earned. Also, you are taking the place of another
deserving military family that could be scheduled.
We understand that things come up in the military that require
last minute adjustments. If that situation does occur, please contact Dr. Grant
Evans 614-314-6074 to explain. Your commanding officer may be asked to verify this
information. This will be strictly for informational reasons, not done in a punitive
manner. If a medical emergency occurs, a physician's statement is required in order
for the cancellation fee to be waived.
By accepting a reservation with Operation R&R you are agreeing
to these terms and conditions as well as any terms and conditions set forth by the
Property Management Company assigning your property.
If you have any other questions or concerns, or if your contact information or your
date requirements change, please get back to us at the Operation R&R address
above. We will try to honor as many requests as we can.
Thank you for all that you are doing for our country.
