Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking your Charleston area rental:

• First, have your group select dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ashley House: Old World Charm has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
