Excellent cozy cottage. Clean. Very good amenities. Good beach chairs provided with plenty of beach towels. Outside shower is great - but the addition of a hose to rinse of the chairs and wagon would have been nice, too. The keyless entry with door code was awesome. Didn’t have to worry about losing the keys. Location is great. Short walk to the beach. I would suggest using 42nd Street Enterance. Easier to walk - has a mat over the sand walkway. Would definitely book again. Renting linens was very easy and no big deal.

The house was clean, a little musty as others have mentioned, but it is a beach house - A scent I associate with beach and good memories. The kitchen was well stocked, and the included beach towels were nice. I’ve never been to a rental where linens were not included, so I did not even think to order them. But of course, when I went back to look, the instructions were there and I had just missed them. By the time we arrived, it was too late to order them and get them there that day, so I had to go out and buy some. I spoke to several other friends and all agreed that lack of linens is odd despite all of us having heard of it being a possibility. Myself and another friend even have our own rental properties on VRBO, and neither of us ever considered that service. On the bright side, we have all new sheets for our own home. The beach access is very close and convenient. The shining star of the house is definitely the screened in porch as the mosquitoes were vicious.

A classic oasis on a happening isle

Last month I spent a week at this cottage with my wife, two children (3 and 6), and in-laws, and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The house is older and modest in size (especially in comparison to the endless mansions on the Isle), but very well maintained and comfortable. The massive covered porch was a huge highlight; despite having to chase around two rambunctious kids, I was able to find the time to doze on one of the lounges once or twice, much to my delight. The large front yard and oak-covered backyard created a perfect Southern vibe, and my six-year-old had enough space to play football and wiffleball.The location was also unbeatable. The path to the beach is just a few hundred feet away, and the park/playground are just over a mile, aka a very quick bike ride. And then there's Sullivan's Island (ten minutes) and Charleston (25 minutes).

Still the perfect getaway

I love staying at this property and truly feel like it is my home away from home. So comfortably appointed with the lovely porch and yard. I go for walks on the beach, which is so easily accessible from the house. Betty is always a wonderful host. I look forward to my next stay.

Best Rental on IOP

For a variety of reasons, this is hands down the best rental on IOP. Ample space for an adults only or family friendly getaway. This beach cottage, actively managed by the actual owner, is THE epitome of value for your dollar. Been coming to IOP for 15 years. In the beginning, we were 2 or 3 families and we did the big house on the beach. Now the kids are grown and we return every year for an adults only getaway. This property has everything you need. 3 good size bedrooms. An awesome screen room that catches the perfect breeze. And the location, steps to the beach but a block off the main road, is ideal All this at a reasonable price. Cannot be beat on IOP

Family beach getaway

This was the perfect house for a much needed family getaway to the beach. We had our two adult sons and their girlfriends with us for the week. The house was roomy enough for the six of us, with plenty of places to relax, a beautiful yard, and was right across the road from a public beach access, which allowed us to run back and forth to the beach all day. Great house and great stay!

A perfect retrear

I love this property, having stayed there multiple times and already booked my next stay. Such a comfortable beach cottage with all the touches of home. I love the porch, where I enjoyed breakfast each morning. Lovely landscaped garden. Just steps away from beach access yet on a quiet street. An easy walk to the marina too. Great property owner—very responsive and caring. Highly recommended!

Wonderful beach retreat

We had a wonderful time at this home! The house was clean, welcoming and the perfect size for our small family of 4. The proximity to the beach was amazing! We were able to set up early each morning and come and go as needed throughout the day. The screened in porch was a big hit with extended family that came to visit. The screened in porch was great to enjoy the outdoors free from mosquitoes. It was a great week!
