Getting the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect rental in Charleston:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Ashley Carriage House Suite Includes Breakfast has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
