How to book the best Charleston area rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Charleston area area. Booking your Charleston area vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your group choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Island Hideout Summar has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your trip.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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 great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
