Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

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

• Summertime is high season in Charleston. To find the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Southard Cottage: Charleston Living Redefined has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
