Our top Charleston vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Charleston area rental:

• Start by having your family select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Charming downtown home in heart of Charleston with loft, tranquil courtyard & AC has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
