The kitchen is fully equipped, giving you the ability to whip up your own fresh fruit and sandwiches to take along to the beach, or even a full-blown family dinner, there's also two refrigerators!

Great location

Loved the location of this property. It was great to be able to walk out our back door and straight to the beach! The family room area lent itself to the perfect gathering spot for our family. Also appreciated ample parking. The house could use some maintenance updates. Response from property management company was slow (3 days) when we contacted them about an appliance that wasn’t working. Was a great property for all ages.

As listed

It was a cool, ideally located cottage of a certain era. The bedrooms were great...clean, comfortable beds and the a.c. was ideal. The view and walk to the beach were perfect. Outside shower was a great touch. Very comfortable main room with 6 sofas. The kitchen was underwhelming. I didn't expect high end but it was very funky with a broken oven and an unbalanced stove top. We managed fine but it could use some updating. All in all it was a fabulous week.

We wanted a place to get our family of 8 together to celebrate our son graduating from Med School! Great kitchen supplies, 2 refrigerators!! Clean and cool! We had a partly rainy weekend so the great lawn was fun to catch clear weather when we could!! Grill was also ready and perfect!! We were very pleased!

House near beach isle of palms

We enjoyed the size and views from the windows. Its overall a bit outdated but very roomy and comfy. We couldnt access the beach frin the property which was very wet and swampy but a pond in the back from all the rain was pretty to look at and the walk to beach public access path not that far away, maybe 1/4 mile.

Great Property

My husband and I and our three college age sons thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It would be spacious enough for more than one family with several sitting areas and a large dining area. It is indeed a 40s cottage and that is part of its charm. I do want to explain the beachfront part, as that was something I did not understand. The land is beachfront and when you are on the deck you can see and hear the ocean over the trees and foliage. You cannot see the beach nor can you walk through the property to the beach- or at least you couldn’t when we were there after days of rain when there was a small lake in the backyard. However if you walk along the (not busy) road three or four houses in either direction there is public beach access by a long boardwalk. I would heartily recommend this property.

The house was very dated. The stove top was not working properly and the upper oven does not work.

I think for what we paid, the owner needs major updates. The kitchen cabinets were all sticky and the oven and range look like the 1970’s. There was mold around some of the windows and the stairway leading up to the house needs a handrail.

Relaxing and clean!

The house was very comfortable and clean! We did not have any problems. The location is great with a short walk to the beach. The stair entry into the home is not as appealing as the rest of the home. This surprised me because the entry is not shown in the photos. However, once we were inside the main home, it was not an issue at all. The openness of the home and the back porch proved to be perfect for visiting with family and friends. I would stay here again.

Had a wonderful time. Amazing location!

If you don’t need a mansion, just a solid spacious house with plenty of room , and unbelievable beach access… consider this place. Its not 5 diamond… but it is 5 star if you’re not a sour sally that finds problems just to find them. Everything was clean, no weird smells, beds were firm mattresses, but not uncomfortable. We all slept well. The pillows were like huggable clouds. This place has a million lamps. I thought it was weird at first but you can really dial in the perfect amount of light if you play with it for a minute. No ice maker in the fridge, but had a bunch of ice trays. You can cycle through pretty hard and never run out of ice if your good about refilling them. If you open the back windows, you can hear the waves over the dunes. There’s a giant back yard for games and little kids to run around. You can walk to the restaurants, grocery, etc in about 15 minutes on a nice day or drive it in a couple and be back before you know it. Didn’t use the TVs, too busy doing beach and island things. And if you want to go to down town Charleston, it’s a pretty easy drive of about 20-ish minutes. For such an out of the way place it’s pretty convenient. Anyways , we had a great time!

SSS=Sun, Surf and Sand

Regardless of the cool temperature outside, the porch was always sunny and beautiful. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach just yards away, the relaxation was on point. The waves were just big enough for our 16 year old to teach herself to surf and the sand hugged our aching bodies and made us forget the real world for the week. Just what we needed. Ages with us started at 16 and went all the way to 96. Beautiful memories made this week 💖
