How to book the best Charleston area vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Charleston. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Charleston area vacation home:

• To start, have your family decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Historic Charm has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Charleston area beach you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
