Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Myrtle Beach area. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Myrtle Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Myrtle Beach area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental home in Myrtle Beach:

• Start by having your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5 BR, 5 STAR ?? Lakefront Beach House @ Ocean Lakes: FREE Bikes & Waterpark! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
