Cavernous home on private lake. Just a few miles to the downtown, but in a peaceful neighborhood. This location offers the best of everything! Appreciate coffee from the deck and gorgeous wildlife in the lake. Use a kayak to take in the turtles, ducks and fish. Walk across the street for grocery, Starbucks, eateries and even a liquor store.

Vacation rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the best rental home in the Charleston area area:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Waterfront-close to downtown, beaches; August discount! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
