Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time 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 overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best vacation home in the Charleston area area:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Island Nest — King Bed has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Call the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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.
