If you are interested in an earlier check-in time, please contact us to inquire.

KIDS and CHILDREN: We are family oriented, and want to be a welcoming place to families with children of all ages. Please be aware that given the limited amount of storage we have available, we are unable to provide a crib or a pack and play for younger children. As we are parents ourselves, we understand that the little ones might get into some mischief. Please be mindful of crumbs and food droppings that fall on the floor. This may have the potential to attract insects, so we ask that you keep an eye out to make sure that does not happen. We understand that children also like to get into some mischief when it comes to how they behave within a space. Please be vigilant for any damage that children might cause (e.g. drawing on the walls or any fixture, damaging furniture, damaging appliances, etc.). Damage occurring during a guest’s stay will incur an additional damage or replacement charge. PESTS and INSECTS: We employ a pest management company for the control and mitigation of pests and insects. They arrive on a quarterly basis. We also utilize bait stations on an ongoing basis. Be aware these will be found on and in the property. However, please be mindful of the climate of the area; this is an area with high humidity and semi tropical weather patterns, which allows bug populations to thrive. There is also human population density that rises particularly due to tourism. The combination of both leave the potential for there to be insects and pests at any given outdoor and indoor location throughout the city/county/state. The palmetto bug is extremely common in South Carolina, even as far as to say they are a South Carolina fact of life. You are highly likely to encounter the palmetto bug either outside or inside of any building, including the house. Palmetto bugs are immune to pest control and treatment for them is in attempt to mitigate their presence, but they cannot be eradicated, as they are abundant in the area. These insects are harmless and primarily are outdoor dwelling, living in trees and mulch. They are in search of water and shelter. They often will appear when it is dark. It is important to note that they are frequently spotted even in clean and well maintained buildings and homes, as they are fast and can gain access via very small entry points. By making a reservation with us you are acknowledging the presence of these insects, including on or in the property, and acknowledge that per this agreement there will be no refunds given if bugs are found during your stay. Other insects that may be found outside as well as inside of any building, including the home, are mosquitos, ants, beetles, earwigs, spiders, cicada, oak leaf mites, and other species. Please help do your part at ensuring that this does not become a problem by keeping doors and windows closed and by properly cleaning and disposing of food items, avoiding crumbs or food droppings on floors or on furniture, and other sources that may attract the local pest population. POTENTIAL DISTURBANCES: While we strive to provide a peaceful and enjoyable stay, please be aware that we cannot guarantee a completely noise-free environment. Guests may experience occasional disturbances due to factors outside our control, including but not limited to: -Nearby construction or renovation projects -Landscaping or lawn maintenance -Utility work or road repairs -Tourists or other residents in the area -Neighboring properties or community events -Weather-related noise (e.g., heavy rain, wind) We make every effort to inform guests in advance of any known major disruptions, but please understand that unexpected or unscheduled activities may occur.
