Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Charleston area vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is high season in the Charleston area area. To get the largest rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Choosing the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Sophisticated, Luxurious, Walk Everywhere! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
