Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home in Charleston:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. The Iris, Signature Suite has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
