We have a strict cancellation policy in place. Refunds will only be issued if mandatory evacuations are ordered by The National Weather Service or local government authorities.

Tricks and tips for getting the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Charleston area area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early 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 Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Charleston area rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. ?Downtown Duplex w\/Porch, Yard + FREE Parking has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your trip.
• If there's a specific Charleston area attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.

• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
