Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Southern Ease, Contemporary Flair has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
