Rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Charleston. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Charleston area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Downtown Family-Friendly Home By Shops has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
