What's better than Google? A vacation wizard!

It's one thing to go on a trip; it's another thing entirely to experience a vacation.

We're so much more than a listing service for vacation rentals. We're vacation planners. You might even call us vacation wizards. (We'd like it if you did!)

Whether your dream vacation involves relaxing in a chaise lounge by your own private pool while a personal chef cooks dinner, or it involves riding your bike to a nearby kayaking outpost to go on a nature expedition, Island Realty can make your dreams come true without spending hours googling "what to do iCharleston". 

We have countless resources for you as a guest of Island Realty, whether you're coming for a weekend or for a three-month stay.

To start, you have the option to book your vacation over the phone with one of our in-house, happy-to-help vacation planners. Each of our vacation planners knows our vacation properties and the Charleston area like the back of his or her own hand. A vacation planner can help you choose the perfect house for your stay; but that's not all. He or she can offer you vacation packages that are tailored to what you've expressed interest in. Or, your vacation planner can explain some additional options to customize your vacation even more.

After you've booked your home and discussed your interests with your vacation planner, our local concierge team is here for you. Our concierge will contact you before you arrive for your vacation to offer suggestions, give recommendations, and book tours, beach rentals, or reservations for you.

Our concierge team and our vacation planners appreciate a challenge. For them, no request is too big or too small.

For instance...

Sick of cooking and want a private chef to cook dinner for you and your fellow-vacationers in your vacation home? No problem! We'll set it up with one of our preferred in-home chefs, so you know you're about to get the best food possible.

Traveling with a baby and don't want to worry about the hassle of bringing special baby supplies? We love babies; we can't wait to meet your little one! Don't worry, we'll figure out everything you need and talk to our partners at Baby's Away to get you all set.

Desperate for some South Carolina barbecue? Fancy an oyster or 12? Need to celebrate Taco Tuesday? There's no better place in the Southeast to experience incredible food than the South Carolina Lowcountry. We'll give you our list of local favorites and make the reservations for you.

Crave adventure? Need a spa-day? Want to learn about our area's history? Desperate for some new family photos? Or a glass of wine? We've got this. We can arrange transportation to take you anywhere in the area. We'll set you up with outdoor tours. We'll book your spa treatments. (You deserve them!) We'll plan a day chock-full of history for you, from carriage tours of downtown Charleston to walking tours of Fort Sumter. We can have a family photoshoot set up on the beach for you! Or, we can send you to the best place to put your feet up, watch the sunset, and have a glass (or two) of wine. 

From local recommendations to tips and tricks on when to book your vacation and when to visit the area, Island Realty wants to be sure you know we're here to ensure you experience the vacation of a lifetime. 

That's why every Wednesday from now on we'll be bringing you our "Where to Wednesday." We'll give you the inside scoop on our favorite places in the lowcountry.

So check back each Wednesday. Become part of the Island experience. 

When you find an idea, location, or vacation plan you love, contact our concierge by email or call 888-369-6031.
