There is an electronic keypad door lock for the front door that guests will be given the code for prior to their arrival to access the home. There is parking for 5-6 cars on-site in the driveway. The garage is not accessible. I am a modest business owner in the area, and also live less than 5 mins. from this home. I always want to respect guests’ privacy, so I won’t be on-site unless needed. Someone may stop by and access the garage on Sundays to set the trash and recycling by the road for pick-up Monday, and stop back by to replace them. There may also be service professionals stop by the home during your visit for routing maintenance, however I will contact to give you a heads-up. I’m typically in the area to help with any issues during your reservation- just give me a call! This home is located just off Folly road at the beginning of a modest beach neighborhood. There are always neighbors out walking their dogs, pushing strollers, or going for a run. This is a very safe, and community aligned neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors during your stay! Just off the back deck of The Lookout is a huge tributary fed pond, that connects to the marshes. Anglers, bring your rods! Most of the time you can use knee boots to walk around the pond, or hip waders at higher tide. The pond has some decent size flounder and redfish, and I recommend Crosby's roughly one mile down Folly Road for general bait and general tackle. Be sure to check out Crosby's for some of the best local fresh seafood! For a full angler shop however, I recommend The Charleston Angler (12-20 min away). You will need a SC Fishing License, IF you happen to be approached by a wildlife/DNR officer (not likely, but I told you). There is a Walmart roughly 3 miles away, Harris Teeter (grocery store), and beach supply store across the street. The driveway for this home will accommodate 4-5 cars. There are cameras on-site for the safety of guests and the property. One on the living room, one on the driveway, one on the back deck, and one on the side entrances.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try changing your family's Charleston area trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Lookout- hot tub, heated pool, with marsh view has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
