How to find the best Charleston area rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Charleston. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in Charleston:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 2 King Bedrooms/2 Bath in the Original Walled City. Access History within Steps has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
