Rental property booking tips:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Charleston area area. To get the best value, shift your family's Charleston area vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book 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 on the coast? 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 promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Charleston area rental:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. The Coach House circa 1755 has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
