Our top Charleston area rental home tips:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Book your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Cozy Island Cottage S has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing 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 host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
