Tips for getting the best Isle of Palms rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Isle of Palms. To book the best rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Isle of Palms restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Isle of Palms area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Isle of Palms visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Whispering Palms- $500 OFF Thanksgiving! The Perfect Beach House! Elevator, Close to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Isle of Palms beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
