Strategies to get the perfect Charleston area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Charleston. Booking your Charleston area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent 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 reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Cottage by Folly Beach with water views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Charleston area beach you simply love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin 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.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback 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 remedy it.
