Charleston area vacation rental home tips:

When to reserve a Charleston area rental home & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Charleston. Reserve your Charleston area rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Jessamine House for Groups and Bachelorrettes has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is best for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
