Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal SC. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Charleston:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Historic 1882 Home ~ Sleeps 12 ~ In The Heart Of Downtown Charleston has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
