General Rental property Tips & Tricks

Many people are shocked to learn how many vacation rentals are available in their area of interest. Rental homes are gaining in popularity among vacationers, and visitors will find that the sheer number of rental properties available allows them to find an perfect retreat to suit their Charleston area group, from peaceful condos to larger event homes with several bedrooms.

Vacation rentals are often owner operated or managed by property management companies. Rental owners often choose management companies to facilitate promoting and advertising, housekeeping and regular maintenance.

Here are some ideas and methods to help you understand the vacation home search and reservation process.

How to find and book the best vacation rental:

Before you book " SOUTHERN CHARM! DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON - Sleeps 10", read through our brief collection of factors to consider.

Search Early and Frequently

Charleston area rental properties are reserved many months (and up to a year) in advance. To guarantee the very best selection of homes, we recommend searching and reserving your Charleston area getaway Six-12 months in advance, whenever feasible. Many households decide to start their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve gatherings.

Choose a Community and Time

Quite often, the toughest part of preparing for your vacation is figuring out where to search, and when. After the big decisions are tackled, everything else will be simpler.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Determine who is attending the vacation, and how many/what kind of bedroom setup you need to have. Consider that many homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room. You'll need to figure out what is most appropriate for the party. Generally rental listings will describe each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Stick to a Budget

Make certain " SOUTHERN CHARM! DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON - Sleeps 10" satisfies your budget *during your desired dates*. Be sure to get cost-sharing commitments from loved ones prior to booking a costly rental property. Usually, a single member of the group will be liable for making the full reservation and recovering each family member's share.

Property Amenities

What amenities is the group looking for? Is a screened porch a necessity? Does the unit need to be beachfront, in town, or in close proximity to restaurants? Are items like beach chairs, gas grills, umbrellas, beach carts or coolers at your disposal and included with your rental property charge? Create a list of priority features to help filter your search.

Special Concerns

Grandparents will thank you for not renting a stairs-access-only condo on the 3rd floor. If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is required, factor that into your search. Almost all vacation rental postings will include a list of amenities.

Fido Approved

Make sure to include your furry family members. Pets are welcome at a number of rental homes, but policies differ. Type of animal, size and dog breeds may be limited. Make certain you study agreements and contracts carefully. Service fees may apply when animals are added. Ask questions *well before* you reserve!

Start the Search

Once the location, travel dates and people are decided, search multiple resources for the greatest vacation rental selection. Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Charleston area local vacation rentals" for local rental management companies. Local agencies generally have an exclusive assortment of vacation rentals daily and weekly.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to make certain that the vacation rental has everything required. If lacking, the home management company might know of very similar properties that better suit your desires and budget..

While not true for all properties, many property owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If they are unwilling to budge on a peak-season stay, try getting an additional night. Off-peak season offers your greatest chance to make a deal for a reduced rate.

Study the Contract

You really need to know which services are included:

• Utility bills
• WIFI Access
• Long Distance Calls
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Pay Per View Movies
• Housekeeping
• Trash collection
• Maintenance policies
• Check in & Check Out Key Exchange
• Parking Space

In addition to the normal price, guests have to pay local taxes when booking " SOUTHERN CHARM! DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON - Sleeps 10", as well as various other fees which may be required based upon their circumstances, including a dog fee, early check-in or later check-out fee, or a pool heating fee for private pool usage during the fall or spring months.

If you want to Cancel

Cancellation policies vary for each vacation rental. You will probably be offered trip insurance. Trip insurance, which typically costs ranges from 1% - 5% of the standard vacation rental price, can provide guests with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental property costs) for any days missed resulting from personal health-related emergencies or weather, in addition to hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unforeseen hotel stay or extra gas.

Reserve your Vacation Property

When everything seems right, it's finally time to sign on the dotted line. You will likely be asked to submit a security deposit at time of booking.

Keep Your Property Manager's Information

Remember to get the property manager's contact phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We suggest saving the contact's information in your cell phone and wallet.

Good job on reserving your vacation rental! You're on your way to a wonderful vacation!

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. Record the condition of the rental unit right away. We also suggest promptly getting in touch with the rental home manager with a report of any problems, together with your request for any needed fixes. This may prevent disputes during check out.
• You might need guidance for a fireplace, Television or hot tub. Get in touch with your property manager. They are there to help. A quick phone call prevents many problems.
• Remember to be a good next-door neighbor. Residents usually live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Local people are a good source of recommendations.
• Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Make sure that you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cabinetry and closets.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the rental manager whenever feasible (often this isn't possible).. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a good time? Nearly all rental management company sites request testimonials after your stay is complete. Rental owners and rental managers will appreciate your glowing reviews. If something went wrong and they didn't fix it in a practical manner, or when the vacation rental wasn't as described, you may want to note that in your feedback.
