This is not a typical short-term rental: It is not 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!

Our top Charleston rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

Book your Charleston area rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking the perfectrental:

Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 6B at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Double Porch Oasis has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
