If in the opinion of the AGENT, the error substantially changes the terms of this Agreement, the GUEST may cancel the reservation within five business days after receiving such notification and the GUEST will receive a full refund. We reserve the right to make corrections, additions, deletions, and changes in the rates and descriptions at any time without notice.

Should the guest deem the alternate properties unacceptable, a full refund of the deposits paid will be returned to the GUEST. Taxes and fees may not be included in quoted rates.

DAMAGES
GUEST is required to notify AGENT immediately of any damages that occur at the property.
The GUEST agrees to indemnify the Owner and AGENT for any damages caused by their carelessness and negligence including, but not limited to: damaged property, missing accessories, and missing or damaged linens. The AGENT has full authority from the Owner to collect for damages at the AGENT's discretion. Damages will be filed with Airbnb to retrieve compensation from GUEST.
OCCUPANCY
The GUEST will restrict occupancy to the stated limit for the reserved property at all times, regardless of visiting or sleeping. Maximum occupancy of a home shall not be exceeded. Group sizes within the maximum occupancy limit do not reduce or increase the rental rate. Occupancy, use of the premises and common areas, shall not disturb, or offend other guests or residents.

Please choose a property large enough to accommodate all members of your group comfortably.

Any reservations obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of payments and be denied check-in or subject to eviction.
GROUPS
The AGENT is a family vacation rental company and does NOT allow any type of parties or groups including, but not limited to, weddings, receptions, or meetings allowed in properties under any circumstances. When found, all monies will be forfeited, and guests will be asked to vacate the property immediately. Properties identified as “event homes” are exempt from this clause as long as nature of event has been thoroughly discussed with management staff and applicable event fee has been paid. Failure to disclose that event will be held at an “event home” will result in eviction. All events must follow the City Code of Ordinances for events on private property.
NOISE ORDINANCES
Folly Beach, Isle Of Palms & Wild Dunes have strict noise ordinance policies to preserve the quality of life on the islands. Guests agree to be considerate of all neighbors. See City of Folly Beach or City of Isle of Palms ordinances for policy details and restrictions depending on the location of your rental property. Any guest that receives a citation, warning or ticket for violation of the noise ordinance is subject to a fine of a minimum $500 and up to $1,000. Guests in violation will face possible eviction, forfeiting all money paid and be required to leave the property immediately.
Select properties have noise sensors placed around the property to monitor decibel levels. These sensors do not record noise or sound, only decibel levels. If consistent noise in any area on the property reaches above the allowable noise threshold, the GUEST will receive a text message to reduce the noise immediately. If issue persists, GUEST will be notified a second time by AGENT either via text message or phone call. Grounds for eviction are warranted by the AGENT if noise remains above the allowed noise threshold after 2 notifications. If noise sensors are tampered with, taken down, or damaged, GUEST will be liable and damage charges will be filed with Airbnb for collection.

The GUEST acknowledges and understands that CHECK-IN is no earlier than 4:00 PM and CHECK OUT is no later than 10:00 AM. If guest enters property prior to the 4:00pm check-in time, or guest's departure is later than 10:00AM, penalties will be assessed.

NO PETS are allowed in, or on the property, with the exception of properties specifically designated as Pet Friendly, or if the guest has disabilities with the need of a Service Animal.

If pets are found at a Non-Pet Friendly property, not including Service Animals, all monies will be forfeited, and the GUEST will be asked to vacate the property immediately.

Pet fees can be raised or lowered at any time prior to the fee being paid by the GUEST. Pet fees are not applicable to Service Animals. Guests are liable for any damages or repairs to the property caused by their pets. By agreeing to the pet policy, the pet owner agrees that the OWNER and AGENT will not be held in any way liable for accident or injury to the pet, or accident or injury caused by the pet to another animal or person.

The replacement cost of any missing terry or linen will be charged at the GUEST's expense to the guest.
FURNISHINGS & AMENITIES
All homes are privately owned and reflect the individual owner’s personal taste. We make every effort to rent only homes with high quality interiors and amenities; however, this standard is subjective. If you have specific requirements, please inquire in advance. Amenities are subject to change without notice due to, but not limited to, misuse of items by previous guests, availability of replacement items, general malfunction and age of item, and unexpected circumstances. All homes are equipped with basic items such as TV, bed linens, towels, and stocked kitchens with a variety cooking utensils, flatware, glassware, silverware, cookware, toaster, blender, microwave, stove, oven, and coffee maker. Each home is provided with a starter amenity kit for the kitchen(s) and all bathrooms.
Starter Kit includes: Each full bathroom with 1 roll of toilet paper, small bar soaps, 1 small shampoo, 1 small conditioner, and 1 small lotion bottle provided; each half bathroom with 1 roll of toilet paper and some small bar soaps; kitchen with 1 roll of paper towels, 1 small dishwashing liquid, 1 sponge, dishwasher detergent packets, and 3 trash bags. It is up to the GUEST to replace these items as needed during your stay.
Moving furniture and wall hangings is not allowed. Furnishings and amenities damaged during guest stay and not reported to the AGENT will be the responsibility of the GUEST and charged accordingly through filing a claim with Airbnb. Amenities, such as kayaks and bicycles, provided by OWNER have an increased risk of accident and injury, therefore requiring an additional, separate disclaimer that must be signed and returned to the Carolina One Vacation Rentals office prior to GUEST check-in date.

Grills that are hard-wired to the gas line of the home are permanently placed by the owner. Hard-wired grills must NOT be moved and may be used by the guest with caution where they stand, if listed as an amenity for the home. OWNER and AGENT are not liable for damages caused by GUEST grilling. GUEST will be charged for any damages caused by grilling by filing with Airbnb for collection.

For properties with elevators listed as an amenity, the GUEST agrees to indemnify the Owner for any damages caused by their carelessness and negligence including, but not limited to damages/repairs with the elevator in the home. Any service calls and charges made by GUEST due to operator error, overloading, or negligence will be the responsibility of the GUEST including, but not limited to, after hour calls. If GUEST does not agree with these terms, it is recommended that the elevator be disabled during their stay. Elevators and homes are not ADA Compliant unless specifically labeled as such on the individual property listing. Non-ADA Compliant elevators are an amenity for guest convenience only.

POOLS, SPAS & HOT TUBS
In cases of accommodations with private pools, spas, and/or hot tubs, the GUEST agrees to use them at their own risk and to hold neither the OWNER nor the AGENT from liability. GUEST agrees that the presence of the pool and/or hot tub at the property creates a risk of personal injury or property damage. This risk is heightened as it relates to children. GUEST agrees to accept that risk and agrees to take all reasonable and proper measures to ensure the safety of GUEST, its invitees, agents, or licensees from injury or loss. Individual properties may require a fee to use or heat the pool, spa, and/or hot tub. Fees can be raised or lowered at any time prior to the fee being paid by the GUEST. Minimum of 24 hours prior to guest arrival must be given to AGENT if GUEST would like to add pool, spa, or hot tub heat. Pool heat temperatures will vary depending on weather conditions and may still feel cool to GUEST. Pool, spa, and/or hot tub heat is non-refundable once heat is turned on. GUEST is NOT permitted to adjust equipment settings at any time. If settings are found changed by GUEST, GUEST will be charged a fee by filing damages with Airbnb. Pools, spas, and hot tubs are on regular cleaning and maintenance schedules. Any additional cleaning charges incurred by request of, or as a result of, the GUEST will be the responsibility of the GUEST.
