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.

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!

- 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.

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.

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.

 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.

Reviews

Quiet Beach House at End of the Road!
5/5 stars
My wife, two adult children, and I enjoyed several days at this beautiful beach home at the northernmost tip of Isle of Palms in the Wild Dunes Resort area. The two large master bedrooms (one had a great view out the back!) and two queen-sized bedrooms provided plenty of room for us and all of them had a private bathroom. Kitchen was well-equipped allowing us to have breakfast there along with a couple of lunches and a dinner of fresh sea trout that we caught the day before while fishing the IWC. The home was super clean and everything worked as advertised. The secluded beach was a very short walk from the house and provided a great opportunity for solitude and collecting shells. The hosts did a nice job of communicating with us and we will definitely keep this place on our radar for a future stay.

We had an amazing stay at the Sea Sponge. We were four moms taking a post-Christmas ladies’ trip. We loved each having our own bedroom and bathroom. The common areas were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. Communication was great and all instructions were clear and comprehensive.

Sea Sponge
5/5 stars
We were a party of 6. Each couple got their own bedroom and private bath. The house was spotless and was so well kept. The beds were comfy as were the couches and chairs. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make a meal. The pool was located right behind the house so we were able to go back and forth all afternoon. We would definitely rent Sea Sponge house again!

Wonderful vacation!
5/5 stars
Sea Sponge is an awesome property! I am very picky when it comes to rentals and it met all my expectations. The view is beautiful and the walk to the beach is easy. The house is VERY well stocked with useful items, the beds are comfortable, and it was extremely clean. There was a minor hiccup with some repairs being done to the house while we were there, but communication regarding it was very good. Overall the communication regarding the property was wonderful - before and during our visit. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome Beach Rental!
5/5 stars
Our family of 3 adults, 2 kids (9yo and 5yo), 2 grandparents in their mid-60s and an elderly 92yo great grandparent, greatly enjoyed our stay at Sea Sponge! The rooms were very comfortable with plenty of space, soft carpeting and very comfortable bedding and linens. The master bedroom had a balcony with gorgeous views overlooking the ocean, top of palm trees and the community pool. The covered back patio was very serene and lets out to the short walk toward the pool and hot tub entrance, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The garage was spacious with plenty of beach toys to keep the kids busy at the beach, which was also a little walk from the house. We enjoyed sunset and night walking on the very private and convenient corner of the beach - lots of reeds on this end but wasn’t a problem for us at all. The living area of the home was an ideal meeting place for all the family to get together to play board games (which is well-stocked in the home) and the kitchen was conveniently stocked as well. Overall, our time here was spectacular!

Wonderful Stay at Sea Sponge
5/5 stars
We absolutely loved staying at Sea Sponge! The property was beautiful with close proximity to the pool, and a short walk to the beach! Steven and Sarah provided great communication leading up to and during our stay to ensure we knew all the important details. This made the entire process very easy and stress-free. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to others!

Wonderful Vacation Rental
5/5 stars
We stayed at the Sea Sponge for spring break and had the best time! The rental was incredibly clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The communication from iTrip was also stellar- some of the best we've ever had while on vacation. The beds were so comfy; we all slept wonderfully at the end of the day. The view from the deck was so pretty! Beautiful sunrises over the ocean. There were two beach bikes and a lot of beach toys for our kiddo. The location of the house is perfect-close to the pool, a short walk to the beach and a quick drive into town. The little neighborhood is so quiet! We rented a golf cart and really enjoyed cruising the island. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Highly recommend this rental!!

The bedrooms had plenty of room and the bathrooms were super clean. The view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful. 5 stars for sure!

The Sea Sponge Property was absolutely amazing! Can not wait to book again for next summer.
5/5 stars
The Sea Sponge Property was absolutely amazing! We have stayed at a number of other vacation properties and this was one of if not my very favorite. This house has everything you could possibly need to have a relaxing vacation such as towels, beach toys, a well equipped kitchen, television, and the most comfortable beds! Our very favorite part was having a glass of rose on the top balcony watching the sun go down over the ocean. Our family of five created lasting memories at this house and can not wait to book again for next summer.

The house was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Great outdoor spaces, comfy beds. Highly recommend!
5/5 stars
Our family spent a week at Sea Sponge - an absolutely wonderful beach home. The house was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 to spread out and relax. The beds were all comfortable with very nice linens. We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool and long walks on the beach. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one would need from coffee in the morning to preparing a full dinner. The screened porch and upstairs deck are great outdoor spaces. The deck upstairs was particularly nice for morning coffee, evening cocktails or just catching some sun. The view is incredible! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea Sponge and hope to come back. We highly recommend it anyone staying in the area.

5/5 stars
Beautiful house and amazing location! We took a family vacation with our two four year olds and had the best time. So many fun things for kids to do - beach, pool, aquariums, museums, bikes, etc. The town is beautiful with several places to eat as well as a short drive to Charleston for more food and shopping. The house had everything you needed and more when traveling. Plenty of space for entertaining, a well stocked kitchen, spacious rooms, cleanliness and amazing beach views. Never once had to call the owners for any issues with the house because everything was perfect. We will definitely be coming back next year as this trip was just the best and the house was just exquisite!

Breathtaking view, stunning beach house. Looks prettier than the pictures. Would Definitely stay again!
5/5 stars
The Sea Sponge was a stunning beach house, looks even prettier than the pictures. Our stay was extremely comfortable and enjoyable. Our large group, ages 1 to 72, filled all 4 bedrooms and everyone said their bed was truly comfortable. Bathrooms and closets nice and roomy with storage space. The house is very clean, the kitchen had everything you needed, plus more. It was nice to have a washer/dryer available. The view is of course breath taking, the beach and pool were amazing. Charleston has lots of charm and there were fun attractions and food options for the whole group. It was a terrific location to visit- we would definitely stay here again!

Spectacular views, amenities galore, perfect for families and located in a quiet relaxing community
5/5 stars
Thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at Seasponge in Isle of Palms SC. Seasponge is a beautiful home, with spectacular views, amenities galore, perfect for families and located in a quiet relaxing community. Whether we were at the beach, swimming in the large community pool, shopping or site seeing, it was always nice to come back to Seasponge to enjoy our evenings. The house was clean, fresh and very inviting! Especially enjoyed sitting on deck each morning, drinking my morning tea and watching the day begin. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again and again! I give Seasponge the highest rating possible!

Beautiful place, great location!
5/5 stars
Gorgeous home- pictures don’t do it justice (and super clean). We live an hour away in SC and are familiar with the area- Isle of Palms in an upscale, pretty community. The view from the upstairs master and balcony there was incredible. My husband and I stayed for a week with my toddler and infant and it was perfect! Lots of beach toys and towels already there. Kitchen well stocked if you want to eat in- we went out some too. There’s some cute places to eat and walk around in IOP but Mt pleasant and downtown Charleston were also an easy drive. I recommend making reservations for the more popular restaurants in Charleston a bit in advance if you can. The pool is literally right behind the house and my toddler requested to go there every day. It was never crowded. Beach is private so also amazing. Highly recommend this place!

If you love a beach vacation, this is your place!!! Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in Sea Sponge. Relaxation awaits.
5/5 stars
If you love a beach vacation, this is your place!!! The home is so clean with beautiful decor and fantastic views!!! The ocean is steps away and the pool and HUGE hot tub are literally at the back door. Everything you need is provided…..down to the beach towels. There are so many restaurants inside Wild Dunes and miles of trails to run, walk, or enjoy biking. Wild dunes has everything you would want including golf and tennis. However, you may never leave your place because you are surrounded with beauty inside and out! Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in Sea Sponge. Relaxation awaits.

This place was everything we hoped for. The pictures don't do it justice! The view from the home is amazing, the beach is within walking distance and the house is absolutely immaculate. Steven and Sarah were very responsive and applied a simple check-in/check out process. We would definitely stay here again!
