Strategies for getting the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Charleston area area. Reserve your Charleston area rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership 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.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. The Nicholas Carriage King Suite - Walk to King has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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.
