This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a remodeled “dependency” or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and appeal that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It's the real deal!

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Charleston area rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Booking your Charleston area vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 8A at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Stylish Group Favorite has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
