Finding the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book a perfectrental home:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Gentian House: Efficiency Meets Elegance! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Charleston area attraction you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
