Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Charming Waterfront Cottage only 2 miles from has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If not, call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Charleston area attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
