Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Charleston area rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Charleston area rental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. ‘Driftwood’ - Downtown Private Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
