Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Charleston rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Petite Helene! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Charleston area beach you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
