Tips and Tricks to get the best Charleston rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

To find the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the best vacation rental in Charleston:

Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. The Ashley Veranda King Suite includes Breakfast has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
