Tips and Tricks for getting the best Charleston area rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental home:

• First, have your group select date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic, Clean + Porch! 3 blocks to Upper King has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
