Tips to get the best Charleston area vacation rental experience:

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

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Southard Cottage: Charleston Living Redefined has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, call the host before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
