Charleston area rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Charleston & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Charleston area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Charleston area area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Spacious Charleston Home: Only 3 Mi to Folly Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
