Strategies to get the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is high season in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, try shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Charming 1-bedroom apartment in wonderful Charleston, 10 min to downtown & beach has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
