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 to get the perfect Charleston area rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family select trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Lookout- hot tub, heated pool, with marsh view has 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Charleston area beach you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. 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 wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
