Charleston rental home tips and tricks:

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

• Summer is the most expensive season in Charleston. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking the rightrental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. St. Michael's Place Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback.

If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
