The loggerhead sea turtle is South Carolina’s state reptile. This reptile is protected by state and federal laws. From May 1 to October 31, these sea turtles come to nest on our beaches. During this time it is strongly suggested that beachfront lights are turned off after 10:00 pm to avoid disturbing the nesting process.

Fireplaces will be shut down and unavailable for use from June 1 through November 1.

Many owners have personal belongings locked in a closet for their convenience. These areas are off-limits to renters and are not part of the rental agreement.

If the renter requests staff to go to the unit & retrieve an item the renter has left there, the renter will incur a $25.00 charge. Items left behind will be placed in our “lost and found” for a period of 10 days. After that period of time has expired, items will be donated to charity.
