If you are unsure of which vacation rental home will best suit your needs, our online advanced search tool or our vacation planners are ready to assist you. Once you have decided on a property, you can make your reservation over the phone with one of our vacation planners or book your stay online. Island Realty requires a 50% deposit to confirm your reservation and the remaining 50% of the payment is due 30 days prior to your arrival date. If you are booking within 30 days of your arrival date, the full rental amount will be due at the time of booking.

Island Realty accepts all major credit cards and checks as long as they are received at least 30 days prior to your arrival date. If you would like to pay with a check within a month of arrival, Island Realty can accept a cashier's check or money order.

If you would like to make your final payment using a personal check, the check must be received by your balance due date which will be 30 days prior to arrival. If you would like to make your final payment using the credit card on file, you may either give us a call to speak with one of our vacation planners or email payment@islandrealty.com with your reservation number and desired date of charge to schedule and authorize the payment. To make your final payment with a different credit card than what was provided at the time of booking, please call to speak with one of our vacation planners.

You will check in at the Island Realty rental office which is conveniently located at the base of the Isle of Palms Connector at 1304 Palm Blvd. Isle of Palms, SC 29451.

Check-in time begins at 4:00 P.M. on the day of your arrival. We would like to remind you that the property may not be available for occupancy before this time, even if it is not occupied prior to your arrival. We encourage you to plan for a 4:00 P.M. check in and delay any grocery shopping or luggage drop offs until you have received the keys to your property.

If another renter arrives before the reservation holder, they will be able to check in provided that the unit has been cleared for check-in. Please ensure that any guests who may check in are able to provide all reservation details in order to verify their identity. They must also be at least 25 years of age. Additionally, any guest who will be checking in on behalf of the reservation holder will be required to supply a mobile telephone number, present a photo ID, and sign the check-in card agreeing to the terms and conditions of the rental agreement on behalf of the reservation holder.

If you will be arriving after office hours, please contact our office by 5:00 P.M. on the date of arrival to arrange for a lockbox. All of the lockboxes are located inside of our office and are marked "Late Arrivals" They are accessible 24 hours.

Check out is at 10:00 A.M. on the day of your departure. If you have not vacated the property by 10:00 A.M., you are subject to additional fees — a charge for up to one night's rent.

In addition to a wealth of information contained in the online Area Directory, Island Realty offers a Concierge team that can serve as your connection to the Lowcountry. Our Concierge team is able to assist with recommendations about area activities, attractions, restaurants and more, in addition to assisting with ticket sales and vacation packages.

Yes and no. You can cancel your reservation; however, you will not get a refund unless the property is re-rented for the same dates and rate as your reservation. Island Realty has a 10% cancellation fee, and the remainder of your deposit is held pending re-rental of the property. If you are paid-in-full for the reservation, all money will be held until we can re-rent the property. If the property is not re-booked, the entire balance will be forfeited to Island Realty, regardless of whether or not a full deposit was made at the time of booking. Email cancellations@islandrealty.com if you must cancel your reservation.

By purchasing travel insurance, you can insure yourself against covered cancellation penalties and medical costs, as well as gain access to a wide range of traveler's assistance services. Please carefully consider the insurance in order to prevent the loss of your reservation deposit for any event that may be covered by this policy. For more information and full coverage details please see the Travel Insurance page.
