Charleston area rental property booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Isle of Palms. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Charleston area vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental home in Isle of Palms:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. ????1 block to beach! 500 Carolina Blvd. 5 bd, private pool, screened-in porches ???? has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
