Strategies for getting the perfect Charleston vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Captain Steve's Creek Retreat has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you book the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Charleston area destination you are crazy about, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually 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 crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 comments.
