Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location! New Fire Pit! - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

This appealing bungalow is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 mins. from Folly Beach and 8 mins. from downtown historical Charleston.
This hideout is not in a neighborhood and the weather right now is ideal for the new firepit with cabana out back!
The porch over looks a enormous back yard that is framed in by four majestic Grandiose Oaks that are draped with Spanish Moss, hence how the bungalow was named. While calming it is possible to see occasional wildlife!

There is a sizable driveway for big toys!
Grocery store, restaurant/bar and brewery right across Folly Rd.

OP-04780
Guest access:
The appeal of the place is that it's tucked off the road! Rafael Lane can be tricky to find. Get in the median right across from Bohemian Bull restaurant. The dirt road is on the left. After turning onto the Lane, take a right at the first drive and come straight back down a gravel drive. There will be a bigger home on right with the bungalow after.

Please contact host for key code.

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the right Charleston area rental home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location! New Fire Pit! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. 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 review.
