Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Charleston vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To get the best value, consider shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Beachy cottage walkable to coffee, bars, parks and 1 mile from the Peninsula! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Charleston area beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
