PARKING

Most of our vacation rentals provide two parking places per unit as noted on our website in the amenities section for each condominium. Homes provide ample parking for the size of each home. Trailers, golf carts, motorcycles, and boats are not allowed in most locations please see requirements or ask a representative at the office if you have any questions concerning this matter. Parking lots are maintained by each complex and/or the Homeowners Association (HOA). Parking passes are issued in accordance with the rules and regulations set by each HOA. Seaside Vacations is not responsible for parking rules, towing or parking tickets. If you have special parking needs, please contact one of our representatives.

NOTICE TO ALL GUESTS:

AIR CONDITIONING

Do not set the thermostat lower than 70 for the air conditioner. Do not run the air conditioner while the exterior doors or windows are open. This will cause the system to freeze and not produce any cold air for several hours. The system will need to be turned off to defrost. Most thermostats are to be set on AUTO for the FAN. Please call our office in this event to allow our air conditioning specialist to service the air conditioner.

REFRIGERATORS

Many refrigerators are left open during cleaning. It can take as long as twelve (12) hours before your food will cool and the refrigerator returns to a medium temperature. If you fill it with warm groceries and continually open the refrigerator door, it will take much longer than 12 hours. Do not change the settings. Please check your refrigerator upon arrival - it should be set at a medium temperature. If the refrigerator is turned to a high setting, the humidity will cause the coils to freeze up, which prevents cool air from reaching the refrigerator compartment while the freezer remains cold. If this should happen, please set the unit to a medium setting and allow time to defrost and stabilize.

GOLF CARTS

In some cases, golf carts are supplied by the owner of the rental property. Otherwise they may be rented through Graham Golf Carts at 411 Pine Ave in North Myrtle beach or call them at 843-281-9992. Please note that a signed golf cart damage waiver/agreement is required prior to check in for the use of owner supplied golf carts. Please abide by all rules and

TENTATIVE RESERVATIONS

We encourage our guests to plan ahead for the following year. Owners have top booking priority, followed by the guests presently occupying the property. If a guest has not made a tentative reservation by check-out time, the property is then reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. To make a tentative reservation, visit or call the office anytime during your stay. We will hold the reservation until January 15th of that following year.

Advance reservations (for the 2023 season) are contingent upon your selected time period being made available by the property owner. Should there be a conflict with your desired dates, we will notify you immediately so you can make alternate plans. Since check-out days are extremely busy, please make your advance reservations during the week when we have more time to assist you. You are not automatically entitled to the same week next year simply because you reserved it this year; however, you DO have first choice for renting the same property for the same week next year, as long as you make advance reservations before the first Monday after your departure. No properties will be held for specific weeks based on assumptions. Advance reservations for 2023 can be made now with a $100.00 - $250.00 refundable deposit. Current rates are not applicable to next year’s reservations.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Redsky Travel Insurance is offered at the time of booking. Although this insurance is optional, we highly recommend purchase of this coverage for your financial protection in unforeseen situations.

New construction and renovations may occur. We will always do our very best to inform our guests of any issues that may impact their vacation. Unfortunately, we cannot predict the location of all construction activity. No refunds or transfers will be made, but we will contact the contractor in an attempt to address your concerns.

Safety and Security

FIRE

Please familiarize yourself with the location of the nearest fire exit stairway. In the unlikely event of a fire, please move quickly but calmly to the stairs.

We hope these procedures will help to contribute to your comfort and well-being during your stay.

FIRE SAFETY PROCEDURES

All buildings can have a fire. Plan what to do when you check in. You won’t have time to plan during a fire.

First, find two exits nearest your room. Be sure they are unlocked and unblocked.

Then, count doors between your condo and exits, so you’ll have a reference point if it is smoky.

When you hear an alarm, act, don’t investigate.

If the fire is in your room, get out and close the door. Once out report the fire.

If the fire is not in your condo, leave if you can. First, feel your door. If it is cool, open it slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl in smoke. Fresh air will be at the floor. Take your key so you can get back in if you can’t use the exits.

If your door is hot, don’t open it. Your condo may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks with wet towels. Shut off fans and air conditioners. Signal at your window. Call the Fire Department and wait to be rescued.

***Property For Sale/Manager Entry

Seaside Vacations employees and or vendors may enter the premises at any time in the event of emergency, but will use its best efforts to give 24-hour notice for normal maintenance or sales showings. We will make every effort to schedule the showing at your convenience. However, we do allow our guests the right to decline.

We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable vacation! Don’t forget to book your next year’s vacation with us before departing.

Thank you for staying with Seaside Vacations!

Hurricane Safety

Before a Hurricane

Have a hurricane plan and ensure everyone in the household knows the plan.

Know your evacuation route.

Have an emergency supplies kit prepared, to include at least: three days’ drinking water (two gallons per person per day); non-perishable food; flashlight with extra batteries; portable battery-operated radio; first-aid kit; non-electric can opener; essential medicines; cash and credit cards.

Make arrangements for pets. Pets are not allowed in official shelters.

Protect your home by covering windows with permanent shutters, plywood panels or other shielding materials. Bring in lawn furniture and other loose objects, such as garbage cans, that may become a hazard during high winds.

Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame structure. This will reduce roof damage.

Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well-trimmed.

Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.

Determine how and where to secure your boat.

Fuel up and service family vehicles.

If a hurricane is likely in your area, you should:

Listen to the radio or watch TV for information.

Secure your home, close storm shutters, and secure outdoor objects or bring them indoors.

Turn off utilities if instructed to do so. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting and keep its doors closed.

Turn off propane tanks.

Avoid using the phone, except for serious emergencies.

Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill the bathtub and other large containers with water.
