FAQ

If this list doesn't include your question, just ask!  We'll be happy to answer it, and who knows -- maybe it will end up this list too!  Here goes:

What is provided with the accommodation?

All of our vacation rentals have a fully stocked kitchen and are furnished with sheets and towels, an initial supply of soap, toilet paper, trash bags, roll of paper towels and dishwasher soap. After booking you will receive your “digital welcome booklet” with more information for your beach home.


Is There an Age Restriction?

Yes, we do not rent to vacationing students or young adults under the age of 25.


Is There a Minimum Stay Requirement?

Most properties require a 3-night minimum and we are also typically more flexible with your arrival/departure day. During the summer season, we have a Saturday to Saturday requirement.


Do you Allow Pets?

We do not have “pet friendly” rental properties. Our condos are located in complexes that are governed by HOA rules. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed and many complexes have had to move to this ruling due to a few unfortunate incidents. Your best bet for a pet friendly beach property would be an individual cottage, town home or home that is not governed by HOA rules.

All of Southern Hospitality Vacation Rentals properties’ provide WiFi for our guests FREE OF CHARGE.

Do you do direct bookings?

Absolutely!  You can book directly on this website!  See the BOOK NOW button at the top of the page.

What if I Have to Cancel My Reservation?

Southern Hospitality Vacation Rentals understands that unforeseen circumstances do arise. However, this is not a hotel, but a small, family owned vacation rental business and we cannot easily re-book lost income from cancellations, as do large hotels. Once you have reserved the condo, it is taken off the availability calendar and all inquiries for that period are turned away. As a result, all payments made will follow our cancellation schedule detailed in your rental contract. If you need further information, please contact us.
