Charleston rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Charleston area rental & When to go:

• Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Large Vacation Home in heart of Charleston Historic District- Best Location! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
