Our top Charleston area vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually 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 gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Charleston. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group choose a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Perfect 30 Day Escape! ~ My Getaway Home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Charleston area destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
