Charleston area rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, change your family's Charleston area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. The Iris, Signature Suite has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
