Tips and Tricks for getting the best Charleston area vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental in the Charleston area area:

• First and foremost, have your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Charming Waterfront Cottage only 2 miles from has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's a certain Charleston area destination you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
