Where to find and book the right vacation home:

Before you decide to book " SOUTHERN CHARM! DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON - Sleeps 10", review our brief collection of issues to consider.

Search Early and Often

Like many renowned vacation spots, In Charleston area the best vacation rentals are booked very early. For the best selection, begin your planning and search 6-12 months in advance of your trip. A lot of households choose to start their search during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year gatherings.

Select a Town and Time

Consensus can often be difficult between close relatives, but as soon as this difficult part is complete everything will begin to drop in place.

Selecting an Appropriately-Sized Rental property

How many family members are joining your trip? Keep in mind that many vacation rentals list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to determine what is suitable for your company. Generally rental home listings will describe each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Create a Spending Limit

Most rental homes are marketed with a price range. Determine the cost for your preferred trip. It may be at the high end of the range. Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from travel companions well before booking a costly vacation property. Most of the time, one member of the group will be responsible for making the full reservation and recovering each person's share.

Create a list of "Wishes" and "Requirements"

What property features is your group trying to find? Do you want a rental with patio lounge? Are you more enthusiastic about a natural landscape or nightlife? Are extras like beach chairs, gas grills, beach umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included with your rental charge? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and preferences" from your group to help filter your search to the perfect rental.

Accessability

Commonly the elder generation has problems with stairs. If wheel chair accessibility, elevators, pool lifts or other special equipment is required, factor that into your search. The majority of rental home listings include a list of amenities.

Negotiate the Price

When you have identified your dream rental, double check to make sure your trip dates are available.
