How to find the best vacation rental experience:

When to book a Charleston area rental & When to go:

June, July, and August are high season in the Charleston area area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
In the Charleston area area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.

Some things to know before you go:

Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.

Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
