Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Charleston area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick your prefectvacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. ‘Driftwood’ - Downtown Private Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, contact the host before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix 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 review.
