Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Charleston area rental home:

Summertime is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Light filled apt overlooking enchanting gardens one block to King. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
If there's a particular Charleston area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
