This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a modernized “dependency” or a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It's the real deal!

Tips for getting the perfect Charleston rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Charleston area area:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 8D at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Top Floor Apt with Private Balcony has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
