Before your stay at SC Vacation Rentals in Surfside Beach, here are honest answers to the questions that come up most often.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Standard check-in is at 4pm. Check-out is at 10am. If you need an early check-in or late check-out, get in touch ahead of time — AJ will accommodate where the schedule allows. It’s much easier to arrange before arrival day than to ask on the morning.

How do I get access to the property?

All check-in information — access codes, parking instructions, and property-specific details — is sent to you before you arrive. You don’t need to meet anyone or collect keys from a separate location. The process is designed to be straightforward from the moment you pull up.

Is parking available?

Yes. All SC Vacation Rentals properties include dedicated on-site parking. The number of spaces varies by property, so if you’re arriving with multiple vehicles, mention it when you book and AJ will confirm the arrangements in advance.

What’s provided at the property?

Bedding, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen — cookware, appliances, and essentials are all in place. A starter supply of basic toiletries is included. If there’s something specific you rely on for the trip, confirm it in advance rather than assuming.

Are the properties pet-friendly?

Pet policies vary by property. Get in touch directly to confirm whether pets are permitted for the specific home and dates you’re considering.

How far is the beach?

All SC Vacation Rentals properties in Surfside Beach, SC are a short walk from the shore. If proximity matters for your group, check the individual property page or ask when you enquire.

What if something needs attention during our stay?

Contact AJ directly. Every property is personally managed, which means issues are dealt with by the same person who handled your booking — not a helpdesk. Response times are fast and problems don’t sit unresolved.

Which property is right for our group?

The Coastal Retreat is 1 bed / 1 bath for couples. The Surfside Escape is 4 beds / 3 baths for up to 10 guests. The Palmetto Beach House is 5 beds / 4 baths for up to 12. All are in Surfside Beach, SC, with beach access and on-site parking.

Is there a minimum stay?
