This restriction includes, but is not limited to wedding ceremonies/rehearsals/receptions, birthday celebrations, anniversary parties and graduation events, unless specifically approved in writing by Beachside.

A sample of the issues which will result in a charge to the Credit Card or E-Check on file include, but is not limited to:
Excessive amounts of debris or trash inside or outside the Property, as determined by Beachside Damage to the Property’s furnishings, linens, towels or accessories Theft of the Property’s furnishings, linens, towels or accessories Evidence of smoking or a pet(s) on the Property Relocated or moved furniture Early arrival or late departure (see above for details) Smoke or fire damage due to use misuse of the Property or use of the fireplace. (Use of the fireplace, where present, is strictly prohibited.) Movement of furniture is prohibited. Any damage to furnishings or floors as a result of moving, rearranging or relocating furniture will be the financial responsibility of the Responsible Party to repair or replace as deemed needed by Beachside.
Heaters are set to 85-86 degrees (max) for the pool and 101-102 degrees (max) for the spa, where applicable. Pool heaters are either propane gas or heat pump, with the latter being less effective in colder temperatures. For properties with a pool & spa combo, there is only one pump and heater to operate both; therefore, when the spa pump & heater is on the equipment is isolated to just the spa (i.e. the pool is not heating). Pool heat fees are based on the season, pool size and heater type (propane or electric).
As taken directly from our rental policies: If a catastrophe event (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, etc.) or any situation simply beyond our control impairs the vacation rental, Beachside Hilton Head Island is not responsible for finding alternate lodging for the renter or for the renter’s financial losses related to transportation or alternate lodging. There will be no refund or credit for emergency evacuations. Whether you own property, run a business, or rent a condo in Hilton Head Island, the threat of a hurricane, flood, or tsunami is always present during certain months of the year, and we all assume this risk. Therefore, we highly recommend purchasing Travel Protection Insurance to secure your vacation investment and eliminate your financial risk. There will be no refunds of any kind for evacuations. The Responsible Party & Occupant(s) must vacate the Property within 24 Hours of the SC Governor or Hilton Head Island Town Manager issuing a mandatory evacuation order. Occupying the Property after this timeframe constitutes trespassing and will be treated as such.
To determine if your travel insurance policy will provide coverage, please contact the travel insurance company directly. We are not permitted to answer coverage or claims questions.
Travel insurance must be purchased at the time of booking or prior to making your final payment. Please contact the travel insurance provider directly for more specifics on purchasing new coverage when a storm is threatening. If purchasing from CSA Travel Protection, they can be reached at 866-999-4018
Yes, if the Town of Hilton Head Island issues a mandatory evacuation, guests must promptly depart so that we can prepare properties on behalf of the homeowner.
Once the evacuation order has been lifted, Beachside will promptly inspect all properties on program and notify property owners of our findings. During these inspections we will determine if guests will be able to return to the property. If returning is a possibility, we will communicate this to our guests as quickly as possible.
There are many factors which come into play when responding to this question…how much damage, if any, has been done to the island and property, how quickly the evacuation order is lifted allowing residents and businesses back to the island, how quickly we can clean and prepare properties for the next guest with evacuated residents returning back to work… Although we are unable to specifically answer this question, I can guarantee we will do everything within our power to have properties ready for guests to return as soon as possible.
These situations will be taken on a case by case situation. In the past when faced with similar situations, we have been successful at relocating guests to alternative properties on our program or moved them to a future time frame when the property will be available for their use.
If phone services are interrupted due to a storm, we will be communicating with guests by email. If we arrange for alternative contact numbers prior to a storm, they will be communicated to guests in advance. Otherwise the best way to reach us is our main number of 843-342-9909 or by email team@beachsidehhi.com Response times may be delayed from our normal based on what we are currently experiencing, however, we will respond to all as soon as possible.
