Good to know

What does renting by owner save me?

Booking directly means no platform booking or service fees on top of the rental rate. Compare the final total with a platform listing before you book.

What is the payment schedule?

10% is due when you reserve, 40% is due 90 days before arrival, and the balance is due 60 days before arrival. No security deposit is required.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancel 90 days or more before arrival for a 100% refund of prepayments, and 60 days or more for a 50% refund. After that, payments are non-refundable.

Who do I call if something comes up during my stay?

Call Brian directly at 843-368-3359, at any hour.

Are these the same homes I see on Airbnb and VRBO?

Yes, the same homes. Booking here keeps the platform fees out of your total and puts you in direct contact with the owner.
