Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best rental in Charleston:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Top-Floor Retreat
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
