Isle of Palms Addendum

ADDENDUM TO RESERVATION AGREEMENT FOR UNITS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF ISLE OF PALMS

The city of the Isle of Palms recently enacted a series of ordinances and has increased enforcement of previously existing ordinances in an effort to balance the needs of year-round residents with the needs of short-term vacationers. This addendum is not intended to be a substitute for the actual ordinances but a brief summary of what we consider to be some of the major regulations that our guests should be aware of.

  • The City limits the maximum number of persons and vehicles allowed on a rental property at any time. Please check with Island Realty since stricter limits probably apply to your rental.
  • The maximum number of overnight occupants is stated on page one of the Reservation Agreement.
  • The maximum number of vehicles allowed on the property is stated on page one of the Reservation Agreement.
  • From 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m., no loud noises (voices, stereos, etc.) are allowed.
  • Fireworks are prohibited year-round, including July 4th and New Year’s Eve.
  • No alcoholic beverages are allowed on the beach or streets.
  • Dogs may run free on the beach from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. with the owner present with leash and control over the dog. Dog excrement must be picked up (take a baggie with you) and disposed of properly. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY UNLESS YOUR RESERVATION AGREEMENT SPECIFICALLY ALLOWS PETS.
  • No littering. Yellow trash barrels are provided on the beach by the City.
  • Tents, canopies, beach chairs, kites, beach umbrellas and similar property are allowed on the beach during daylight hours, so long as such property is being attended by the user. Any personal property left on the beach after sunset is deemed abandoned and subject to disposal by the City.
  • Personal property cannot be located within 25 feet of an emergency beach access or any turtle nest.
  • Waste Collection: Please refer to the collection schedule posted at your property or your check in material. Do not roll out carts, as Island Realty provides the service.
