Tricks and tips to get the best Charleston area rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Charleston. To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. ‘Sand Swept’ - Downtown Private Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently 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?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
