Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book a Charleston area rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose the best rental:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Exclusive Low Country Island Estate Excellent Choice Of Large Groups, has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 group have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
