Here are some ideas and strategies to help you understand the vacation rental search and reservation process.

How to find and book the best vacation home:

Before you decide to book "LOTS OF SOUTHERN CHARM! DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON", read through our brief checklist of considerations.

The Earlier You Begin, The Better The Choices

Charleston area rental properties book several months (and up to a year) in advance. To guarantee the greatest choice of properties, we recommend searching and reserving your Charleston area rental Six-12 months before your travel dates, whenever feasible. Holiday gatherings are a popular time for families to plot their Summer holiday escapes..

Pick your Place and Vacation Week

Consensus can be complicated between members of the family, but once this difficult part is complete everything will begin to slide in place.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Be aware that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to figure out what is acceptable for the party. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available on the internet. If not, communicate with the property manager before you reserve the home.

What Exactly Are You Willing to Spend?

The majority of vacation homes are marketed with a price range. Confirm the price for your selected stay. It may be at the top end of the range. Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from family and friends before booking a pricey vacation property. Most rental contracts require a single person to be liable for the full reservation.

Create a list of "Wants" and "Needs"

What home features is your group searching for? Is a screened deck a necessity? Are you more interested in a natural landscape or night life? Are items like beach chairs, gas grills, beach umbrellas, beach carts or coolers available and included with your rental home charge? Make a list of priority features to help filter your search.

Special Criteria

Do individual people in your party have specialized needs? Ensure that you remember and ask about wheelchair access, pool lifts and specialized equipment requirements..

Take the Dog

Are you or other people in the party traveling with a family pet? Dog policies are different at each rental. Study descriptions thoroughly. A number of constraints might dismiss a prospective vacation property. Make certain to read descriptions and contracts carefully. Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your contract.

Where to Search

Once the place, travel dates and family members are decided, search multiple sources for the greatest rental home selection. Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Charleston area local rental properties" for local rental management companies. Local agencies often have a unique selection of rental homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to make sure the property has everything required. If something is missing, the home management company might know of comparable properties that 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 highly-desirable stay, try getting an extra night. Your best possibility of a lower rate is changing to a less desirable week.

Study The Contract

You really should know which services are included:

• Utility bills
• Internet Connectivity
• Long Distance Phone Service
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Pay Per View Movies
• Housekeeping
• Trash collection
• Maintenance (get a phone number)
• Key exchange
• Parking requirements

Ensure that your quote includes all taxes and fees.

Trip Insurance

Be sure to be aware of the cancellation policy before reserving. Property management companies and home owners typically offer their clients the choice to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of your base rental home cost, can provide travellers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental costs) for any nights missed resulting from personal health related emergencies or storms, and additionally hurricane evacuation expenses, such as a unexpected motel stay or additional gas.

Reserve It

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

Get Contact Information

Be sure you get the property manager's contact phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the contact's details in your cell phone and wallet.

Congratulations! All that is left is enjoying your visit!

During your Stay

• To ensure no damages are associated with your stay, create a record of any problem areas of the rental. Call the property manager right away to report your findings. This may protect against conflicts during checkout.
• Should there be any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the house, property access, pool operation, etc... we advise you ask the property manager immediately. A phone call can save several hours of problems.
• Don't forget to be a good next-door neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a trip a good deal more pleasant.
• Ask a local. Locals are a good source of recommendations.
• Make sure to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the home secured while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Ensure you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinetry and wardrobes.
• When your things are all out, begin a walk-through of the property to verify no property damage occurred in the course of your remain. We advise walking through with the rental manager whenever feasible (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your vacation rental? Just about all rental management companies and rental home sites permit travellers to provide feedback. If the rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will appreciate your positive reviews. If something was wrong and they didn't correct it in a practical manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you will want to note that in your comments.
