Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Charleston area attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental in the Charleston area area:

First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a max budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. The Nicholas Carriage King Suite 1 Block to King has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is best for your group.
Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. message the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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.
