This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not 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 to get the optimal Charleston area vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 8D at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Top Floor Apt with Private Balcony has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
