Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. Reserve your Charleston area rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sandy Oaks: The Best of Both Worlds! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
