Getting the best Charleston area vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the right Charleston area vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Island Nest — King Bed has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
