Strategies to get the best Charleston area vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking a perfectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Island Hideout Summar has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
