Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Folly Beach GEM! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Charleston area attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
