Tips to get the best Charleston area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Charleston. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Southard Cottage: Charleston Living Redefined has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
