The number of people the home can accommodate is flexible and we can configure it prior to your arrival based on your needs.
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 sizable 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 exterior cameras on the driveway, pool area, and entrances for the protection of the property and guests. Noise (event prevention), carbon monoxide, and fire alarms located within.

Tips for getting the perfect Charleston vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. The Lookout- hot tub, heated pool, with marsh view has 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
