Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Charleston area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. ?Downtown Duplex w/Porch, Yard + FREE Parking has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
