Tricks and tips to get the perfect Isle of Palms vacation property experience:

When to visit Isle of Palms & When to book:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Isle of Palms area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Isle of Palms visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose a perfect Isle of Palms rental:

• First and foremost, have your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Whispering Palms- The Perfect Beach House! Elevator, Close to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. text the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. 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 a note as part of your review.
