Strategies to get the optimal Charleston area vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 1850’s Charleston Treasure has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
