Frequently Asked Questions

Please be aware & mindful that there are alligators throughout the fresh water areas of Charleston, SC. You should assume that there is an alligator in every pond, lake & fresh water river.  Please do not allow small children or dogs near the edge of these fresh water areas.  DO NOT feed or taunt the alligators!
Please note that there is construction ongoing throughout the Charleston area and on all of the Islands. Many of our managed homes are in areas where there has been intense real estate activity and there are almost continous home improvements going on in addition to the normal off season routine maintenance.

We don't get notice of construction projects but please let us know if you encounter excessive noise.  Contractors are required to obey all noise limits and working hour restrictions.   
BANNERS, BALLOONS & PARTY SIGNS
Please do not afix balloons, banners or other 'party' signs to walls, cabinets or other structures. These will remove the paint. You will be charged for the cost to repair each item damaged. The cost to repaint a wall can easily be $250 alone. 
Beds will be freshly made, towels* laid out and a starter set of amenities like soap, lotion and shampoo are provided too. We also provide a starter set of kitchen paper and toilet paper to get you going as well as some laundry and dish detergent. If you need additional supplies you will need to provide those beyond the starter set. 

*We provide 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth per person. Additional towels are available to rent at an addional charge. Requests must be made more than 24 hours prior to check in. 
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated at least quarterly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.

According to Eric Benson, Ph.D. professor and extension entomologist at Clemson University “It has nothing to do with cleanliness or the economic conditions of the area,” said Benson. “They could be around the nicest home or the nicest hotel or resort.”

If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare!  

Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after! 


 
Most community pools remain open from March through October but this does vary by resort and is subject to maintenance schedules and emergency closures for health reasons. Please contact us to see if the pool will be closed during your fall or winter vacation.

We do not manage any of these community pools and are not responsible for management of them. We do not provide refunds for pool closure.

Do not put any chemicals, hot oil, grease, coffee grinds, pasta, bones, shells of any kind, oatmeal, nuts, onion skins, eggshells, trash, pumpkins, fibrous vegetables, lettuces, stringy vegetables, potato peel, pits, corn husks down the disposal.  


We check the disposal is working prior to all guest arrivals. 
In the event the disposal or kitchen sink plumbing is blocked due to material put down the disposal this is the responsibility of the guest.  If a plumber has to be called then the guest will be charged for that visit. 

 
Please NO PARTIES, EVENTS, PERFORMING ARTISTS OR BANDS ARE ALLOWED AT ANY TIME! These are cause for eviction with no refund and may damage our ability to offer the home for future guests exposing you to liability. This is a quiet residential neighborhood -- please be respectful of the home's neighbors at all times.

Occupancy is limited at all times during your stay - day or night - to the maximum 'sleeps' number stated in the listing. Please do not invite additional people to the home. 

Early Check-in
We work hard to try and allow our guests to get in early. This depends on check out times, cleaning and inspection schedules as well as any maintenance issues. We will text on the day of arrival once we know we can allow an early check in.

Things to Do!
Check out our activities website: Charleston Activities 





 
Our vacation homes are located in quiet residential areas. We generally have great relations with our local neighbors and we want to keep it that way. Please pay particular attention to:

- No loud noises after 9pm. (Includes no Hot Tub use after 9pm)
- Only park in the designated areas (not on the landscaping) 
- Do not roll out trash to the street, trash service will do this
- Do not hang beach towels over railings or leave beach gear outside

- On Kiawah island - Bikes must be in the garage (if there is access) or in a designated bike rack or out of sight of the road after dark. 

- Beach Front Homes - TURTLE SEASON No lights visible from beach (May 1 to Oct 31)

The Cities will issue a ticket and a fine for these items. 

 
No barbeque grills of any kind are permitted on balconies or in the unit. No open flames (i.e., candle burning) are permitted on balconies or in the unit. Do not dismantle smoke detectors as they are there for your protection. Use the overhead stove fan when cooking to avoid accidental, activation of smoke detector alarm.

The guest will be charged a $200 repair and inspection fee for tampering with or deactivating a smoke alarm or noise monitor.
 

LOCAL ORDINANCES

All County & City ordinances during rental occupancy must be followed. Non compliance of any of these ordinances will result in eviction of the property and forfeiture of all monies paid.   Tenant agrees to pay any fines levied by the County, City and Town and further Tenant will be liable to Homeowner and Agent for any and all lost rental revenues from the suspension or removal of their business licenses as a result of Tenants actions.

We utilize third party professional service companies for the provision of Handyman Services, A/C & Heating Repair, Pest Control, Wildlife Removal, Plumbing Repair, Pool & Hot Tub Service, Electrical Repairs, Appliance Repairs and any other repair or maintenance of a technical or specialist nature.  We only used trusted, reputable professional service companies to assess, repair and replace equipment that needs attention. We will work with them to get the first available service appointment. Given the Post COVID economy it can be a challenge to get fast, timely service. Rest assured we will do our best to resolve issues quickly and our service providers understand our need for fast, reliable care.  Due to the global supply crunch, parts and even replacement units may not be available which can be frustrating. Please be patient as we work hard behind the scenes to make small miracles happen on a daily basis!

No one may perform any maintenance work on the home without our specific permission in writing.  
Our rates automatically adjust for the season as well as to reflect supply and demand. To access the best rate please begin the booking process on the iTrip Vacations Charleston Beaches site (don't worry you won't be charged until you're ready to book). This will present you our current up-to-date rates!
The person who makes the reservation must be over 25 years old and must be present during the entire stay.   A mobile number must be provided where we can contact the primary renter at all times. If code enforcement call us with any issues we need to be able to contact someone onsite with 60 minutes to address any issus or you may be liable for any fines imposed by the local government. 

We recommend adding a second mobile number to your account to make sure we can contact someone at all times. This second number may also be used to receive door codes in the event the first phone dies or is left in the unit. (It happens a lot and we are unable to provide codes to spouses or family members for security reasons). 
We want everyone to have a great stay but we understand that things may break or some items may get overlooked. We'll do our best to get them fixed (please review the “Maintenance House Rule” on what this means). 
 
We do ask that all guests TAKE TIME TO BE KIND.  Common courtesy goes a long way.  Sadly since the pandemic we have all witnessed an increase in aggressive or unacceptable behavior.  Our team has taken a lot of abuse and experienced some very unkind guests.   

Misunderstandings are one of the leading causes of guest complaints. Please make sure you read everything we send to you.  This include the entire rental listing, all of our house rules, all photos, all emails & texts and all the help articles in your iTrip account. This helps avoid misunderstandings in the first place. 
 
For our own safety and security we have a zero tolerance rule with guests who are rude, abusive, discourteous or argumentative.  We do not engage with those guests any more beyond asking them to read our TAKE TIME TO BE KIND policy.  
 

 
Our vacation homes are on a septic tank or a city sewer system. It is important that guests do not put large amounts of toilet paper or any other other products down the toilet.  We flush all toilets prior to a guests arrival to verify that they are working correctly. Any blockages that occur during the guests stay at the home are the responsibility of the guest to unblock. If a plumber is required to unblock a toilet then the guest will be charged $250 for that visit. 
Charleston and suburbs are charming places to stay.  It should be noted that Charleston is also a working Port City and has a large manufacturing base (including Boeing, Mercedes and other major international manufacturers). Since we are both very flat and surrounded my water sound at night can travel very far.  

Train noise, airplane noise, road noise and manufacturing noise may be audible during your stay depending on weather conditions and wind direction.

We do not offer refunds, credits or discounts in the event that you find these to be problem. Light sleepers should bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. Many phones can download a white noise machine too. They work well. 

We're available by text from 8am to 8pm. For urgent issues after 8pm please call this number for our After Hours service. They will alert us for urgent issues or leave a note for us for non-urgent issues. In emergency dial 911.  

Urgent issues include: Being locked out, water leaks. 

Emergency Issues include: Gas leaks. Fire. Life Safety Issues. Call 911. 

Issues that will typically be dealt with the next day include Air Conditioning issues.

Power Outages: These can be frequent on the islands. Power company's are quick to resolve. If it doesn't not appear to be a neighborhood wide outage please contact us. 

Buyer beware! We do not put any of our homes on Craig s list. If you see one of our homes on there it is a scam. Please NEVER send money to anyone posing as a host on Craig s list. If they send you a contract and they don't disclose their name it's an easy way to know that they are scammers. 

Please call or text us if you are not sure that the listing is genuine.

If the vacation home has the option of a heated pool please note that heating of the pool is available for an additional fee and heating is limited to 85F. All of our heated pools use propane which has to be delivered. Sometimes, due to the weather, the gas may run out before the next scheduled delivery. We will contact the gas company to schedule a refill as soon as we can but gas delivery can be difficult to arrange in Charleston. 

We don't recommend heating the pool when the ambient temperature is below 50F. This will drain the gas quickly. We do not provide refunds if the gas is used. If the pool heater isn't used and the gas is not used we can provide a pro rata refund based on days used. 

POOL & PATIO

If the premises include a private or community pool (including hot tubs), then the Tenant hereby acknowledges that the premises they have reserved include a community pool and the undersigned agrees and acknowledges that the community pool and patio/deck can be dangerous areas, that the deck/patio can be slippery when wet, and that injury may occur to anyone who is not careful.

POOL & HOT TUB SERVICE


 All private pools and hot tubs are serviced weekly and this is NOT always on the day of a guest arrival as check ins occur throughout the week.  

Our team will skim the surface of the pool before your arrival but we cannot vacuum out the pool or hot tub as only the pool service company can do that.  The pool service company will take care of this every week and they also balance the chemicals. We have a lot of storms which may change the appearance of the pool water in our pools - this is normal. The pool service company will be out to take care of it as soon as they can. 

If you are using the hot tub, please rinse off all sunscreen and sand before entering the water. If the hot tub is left in a dirty condition your credit card will be charged $250 charge to have it pumped out, cleaned and rebalanced.  

Must be over 25 years of age to rent any property. 

Person making the reservation must be present during the stay. DO NOT BOOK FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

Whale of a Time
5/5 stars
The home we stayed in accommodated our family of 11, which includes eight adults and three grandchildren. It was cozy and spacious with plenty of kitchen essentials for cooking. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was amazing! We had a wonderful vacation!

Great Place for A Relaxing Weekend!
5/5 stars
Me and my friends absolutely loved our stay at Whale of a Time. It’s the perfect location for a relaxing weekend, the neighborhood is beautiful for walks and access to the beach. The screened in porch was our favorite spot of the house along with the common area/den! The house, although very spacious had a homey vibe to it. And the landlords were wonderful, sent helpful tips and were quick to respond to questions! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

This is a great home for a large group. Thanks for sharing your great home with others.
5/5 stars
This is a great home for a large group or two families. It was actually larger than we needed as our original reservation was cancelled at the last minute due to some legal action with the property. This was the only place available during the same time frame and location, so we jumped on the opportunity. Everyone was pleased with the accommodations and we were happy not to have to disappoint the family. Instead… it may be hard for them to accept staying in any other place when visiting Isle of Palms. Thanks for sharing your great home with others.

We did indeed have a WHALE OF A TIME
5/5 stars
We stayed at Whale of Time for a girls weekend in April! It was the PERFECT space for all 9 ladies! The King master upstairs was stunning and all the other rooms were updated and beautiful! The living and dining space was perfect for a large crowd to gather and enjoy our time together! The 5 minute walk to the beach was gorgeous and we lucked out with great weather!! We went downtown one evening for dinner and it took no more than 25 min- Uber picked us up without issues!! We also walked the 10 min to the Wild Dunes 'downtown' and had lunch and drinks by the pool. Steven and Sarah were amazing at communications and answered all our questions before we even had time to think of any! Great hosts with a beautiful home!

Absolutely loved the house and our stay in Charleston SC. It is a beautiful and classy location. Everything we hoped it would be. Kids were a little disappointed with the living room tv set up (one channel and dvd not connected) but adults didn’t notice. Would highly recommend.

Perfection
5/5 stars
My friends and I had a wonderful time--despite Hurricane Ian's best efforts. This property was exactly as advertised--spotless, spacious, comfortable, and charming. The location was perfect for trips to the beach (next time) and into downtown Charleston. Highly recommended!

Great gathering spot for distant families
5/5 stars
The house, was clean, inviting and very spacious. Our families hadn't gathered for years, and the comfort offered was spot on. Plenty of room to cook our meals, and the grill was used too. Very comfortable beds, and clean bathrooms for all. I can't think of anything that needed improvement. Thanks for a great stay!!

Hosts were the most
5/5 stars
Whale of a time. Was an enjoyable place, easily entered and used for 5 teens and 6 adults. Over 30 beach towels were available, lots of beach toys, and we were able to rent golf carts. Cooking inside was easy, grocery store on IOP. Grill worked great but no grill tools.

Wonderful Stay!!!
5/5 stars
Our family, total of 11 including 4 small children, had a wonderful week at Whale of a Time. Plenty of space for everyone in the open living room. The screened in back porch was an early morning/evening favorite. A five minute walk to the Wild Dunes resort amenities and a 10 minute walk to the beach was perfect. A 10 minute drive to lots of restaurants and shopping, and a 20 minute drive to historic downtown Charleston. We did have a minor hiccup during our stay but the itrips staff were wonderful, they were there and had it resolved within 30 minutes. Definitely would recommend to anyone planning to visit the Charleston area.

Whale of a time
5/5 stars
We stayed at 30 Edgewater Alley, in Wild Dunes resort, Isle of Palms, S.C. There were 11 of us for most of the time , August 13-20, 2021. Although the tropical storm , Fred, and the Pandemic loomed forboding, they did not cause us any problem. The facilities of the house, the wonderful beach and resort amenities and the nearby fun things for our whole family made this a memorable, fantastic vacation for us cooped up Californians. My grandsons were able to surf because of the waves from the storm, which fortunately took another route. Everyone enjoyed the family reunion with my native Carolina brothers. The friendly natives, the wonderful beach , shells and gullies, the “low country food” and the whole experience makes us want to go back soon. Thanks to all who helped make this possible.

Everything was perfect - the beach so convenient and gorgeous, the food so delicious, the house perfectly appointed, the hospitality amazing but the time spent with work friends that have become like family was the best part of all! Thank you so much for everything!

Incredible family vacation house!!
5/5 stars
We just had a small reunion of family and this was absolutely the best house for all generations from a one year old to 86 years old! Everyone loved the house and the fantastic open layout and the bedrooms are great also. The large kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need, and the screened patio with large table, games and lots of comfy chairs was a great lounge area. The location is a short 5 minute walk to the beach through a beautiful neighborhood. And the house has absolutely everything you need to enjoy your time on the beach!! Check in is simple and the management company is great with communication. The only suggestion/improvement needed is better/newer mattresses - some were pretty bad - way too soft and had several complaints. But this in no way would stop me from staying here - it really is a fabulous vacation house!

Unbelievable house for a large group! It was a week our family will never forget and the house is a big reason why.
5/5 stars
Unbelievable house for a large group! The hosts had clearly thought a lot about what a large group needs while on a beach vacation and had gone out of their way to provide it. We had ages from 3-65 and the house met all of their needs. It was a week our family will never forget and the house is a big reason why.
