How to book the best vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Charleston area rental home & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• To find the best value, consider changing your family's Charleston area vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the 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 and choosing the rightrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. The Petite Helene! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
