Getting the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking a perfect Charleston area rental:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Walk to King has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
