DORMER ROOMS

How to get the best Charleston vacation property experience:

When to book a Charleston area rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. (8C) Alexander Wilson House at St. Philip Square has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
