The number of people the house 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 at 8am the morning of their reservation start date. There is parking for 5-6 vehicles on-site in the driveway. The garage is not accessible. I am a small business owner in the area, and also live less than 5 minutes from this house. 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 house 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 small beach neighborhood. There are always neighbors out walking their dogs, pushing strollers, or going for a run. This is a very safe, and community oriented neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors during your stay!
Just off the back deck of The Lookout is a large 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 approximately 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 approximately 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 (party prevention), carbon monoxide, and fire alarms located within. The home allows a maximum of two dogs, which is billed separately at $50/dog/night. The back yard is completely fenced.

This home has EVERYTHING you could possibly need in a short term rental. I have rented several properties through short term rental agencies and have worked in short term rentals and Hospitality Management for years. This home exceeded all expectations. This was a unique situation because I am local to Charleston/James Island and permanently reside just 5 minutes from this home. We rented for a short weekend getaway to entertain our family that was from out of town. John is a wonderful host and was very communicative/responsive with any questions that came up. This rental is stocked with kitchen appliances, grill tools, pool floats etc. it included almost all items that could go unnoticed in a short term rental. K cups , trash bags, aluminum foil, ziplocks etc. This home is clean and very well maintained. We are excited to host family here in the future.
