Question 1

How are payments handled?

Accepted Answer

We require a 40% deposit by credit card when you book. The remaining balance is due 45 days prior to your arrival. Final balances can be paid by card (3% credit card fee is applied to the final balance only), check (sent in the mail), or by e-check over the phone. Call 843-842-6000 if you have any further questions.

Question 2

What are your additional fees/charges?

Accepted Answer

We have a $10 booking fee that is donated, on your behalf, to the Charleston Aquarium for their Sea Turtle Hospital Program. Additionally there are Damage Waiver Fees and Resort Fees where applicable.

Question 3

When can I check-in?

Accepted Answer

Check-in time is 4:00PM. Remember that another guest may be checking out at 10AM and housekeeping needs time to make sure that your property is clean and ready for your arrival. This time is not guaranteed in the summer months.

Question 4

When do I check out?

Accepted Answer

Check-out time is 10 AM. If you have keys, or a pool pass, please return them to the office. If you leave before we open, just put them in the green lockbox outside of our entrance. If your property is on the keyless entry system, there is no need to stop by. During the summer months, if you are going to depart early Saturday morning, please contact our office by Friday so that housekeeping can get an early start.

Question 5

What supplies will be in the property on arrival?

Accepted Answer

A starter supply is provided that includes toilet paper, Kleenex, bath soap, trash liners and a few kitchen items. You may want to bring additional items with you or purchase them upon your arrival.

Question 6

Are there linens and towels?

Accepted Answer

All beds will be made and a set of towels (2 bath, 1 hand, 1 wash) per person will be left on the beds. We do not recommend sofas for sleeping, however if you are planning to use one, then you will need to bring your bedding (pillows, blanket, sheets) and extra bath towels. We will be happy to provide sleep sofa linens and towels for you for an additional $25 fee for the week. A 72 hour notice is required for this service.

Question 7

Is there a grill?

Accepted Answer

Grills are not a required item, so we cannot guarantee one for your use. If one is at the property, it is your responsibility to supply the necessary items for grilling (charcoal or propane) and to clean the grill after each use.

Question 8

Can I heat the pool?

Accepted Answer

Most of the private pools can be heated. If the pool is not capable of being heated, this will be noted on your confirmation. Many of our homes offer pools and spas which can be heated for an additional fee. If you have rented a home where a pool or spa can be heated, please complete and send to us the Pool Heat Form included in your Confirmation paperwork.

Question 9

Where do we rent bikes, cribs and other equipment?

Accepted Answer

You can rent items such as bikes, cribs, high chairs, strollers and gates. We highly recommend that you reserve any equipment prior to your arrival, especially in the summer months. An order form will be included in your confirmation paperwork.

Question 10

Is there Maid Service?

Accepted Answer

You may request maid service but it will be at an additional charge. We will make sure that your accommodation is ready for you on arrival and then clean it upon your departure. Unless specified, all accommodations come equipped with a washer and dryer for your convenience during your stay.

Question 11

What if I accidentally break something or cause damage?

Accepted Answer

Included with your reservation is a damage waiver fee. Our policy requires you to report any accidental damages to us and we'll repair the damage, up to $1000.00, at no charge to you. Additional damage or malicious damage will not be covered.

Question 12

What if there is a hurricane?

Accepted Answer

On a rare occasion, we have been under a mandatory evacuation in which everyone that is on the Island is required to leave. If you are scheduled to arrive and the Island is under a mandatory evacuation, the office will contact you to give you instructions. Please be aware you will need trip insurance to protect your investment even in the event of a hurricane.

Question 13

Do I Need Trip Insurance?

Trip insurance is offered, at an additional cost, when you book your reservation. A flyer is enclosed regarding coverage and protection against unforeseen events such as illness or hurricane evacuation.

Can I bring my family pet?

Accepted Answer

Pets are NOT permitted in our properties unless specified a "Pet Friendly" accommodation. If we find a pet, we will immediately cancel the reservation and occupancy of the property. All moneys will be forfeited and an additional fee of no less than $250 will be applied against the security deposit.
