Charleston vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Charleston. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Ashley Carriage House Suite Includes Breakfast has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
