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.

Our top Charleston vacation rental home tips:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Charleston. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 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.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, email the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 your group have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
