About this property

Charleston has The Best of all Worlds-Beachfront, 2nd floor A+ Views & Location!

Beautiful historic Charleston: Incredible Beaches, year-round Festivals- Art & Music, historic Sightseeing, world Class Dining & Sooo much more ...

Our little Slice of HEAVEN- Come have a fun and relaxing vacation at our beachfront little get-away on the Isle of Palms, Charleston, SC. Wake up in an oceanfront condominium on one of South Carolina's most beautiful beaches. Excellent 2nd floor views have fewer stairs (than 3rd floor) for great ocean view...no elevators. (1st floor views look out towards the beach, and nice pool view, but are a bit too low to see ocean.) Beautiful sunrise and an awesome sunset, dolphins out front in the surf. You can view all of this while keeping an eye on older kids in the Saltwater Pool, all from the comfort of your living room, kitchen, or balcony. As of April '23 we have added: a brand new smooth top range, brand new queen sleeper sofa, new 20 Cu. Ft. Bottom Freezer Frig, Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 3-Way Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pods or Grounds, and LVP Brazilian cherry flooring.
This is a 1BR condo with entry/pass-thru room bunks, and queen sleeper in small LR. 500 sq.ft. total means each room is SMALL, but the condo is 2x the size of standard hotel room.
Updated every Spring, We do not have granite or stainless in our salty seafront spot. The Whites of the Sand, Blues of the Ocean and Sky, and the Yellows of Sunshine, is our preferred, Beachy, Carolina Style.
Why priced so well? We are the owners, grew up here, live close by, and have been doing this for 20+ years now, so we are competitive at pricing.
Located in the heart of Isle of Palms, this cozy condo is perfectly positioned. You are just steps from the beach and in walking distance to the island’s best restaurants, shops, and park. This condominium complex claims the only pier on the Front Beach, private for your fishing or relaxation enjoyment. Free SECURE/private XFinity WIFI and digital cable TV. Rental Guests, and guests of guests, are NOT allowed to have or bring Firearms in or on this property, (except water-guns :)
*We are only "perfect" for some travelers. There are others on here that advertise being perfect, and we encourage perfectionists to rent those. Sea Cabin condos in general are classified as a 3 star resort (No elevator, no on-site concierge/ front desk, no on-site restaurants/pubs (just Very close by) built in 1985 resort, in a 5 star location that allows for no expansion. Cleaned by professional company, well stocked for what you need, true to description and a good host are what makes a Sea Cabin experience 5 star reviews. All sea cabins are same size and layout, but still, all condominiums and sea cabins are not in the same condition! Some of the condominiums and sea cabins have not been updated in 30 years; others have full reno this year. Most aren't as allergy-friendly as our unit. Old ceiling and walls have all been replaced with smooth, mold-free sheetrock in 2010, as well as cabinets; all flooring replaced 2020, New sofa, new bottom mount, large, refrigerator, and smooth ceramic top stove in 2023. It is Lowcountry Beach theme, Not Mid-Century, Modern, Industrial and/or Minimalist. This attractive condo is situated on the second floor of the center 'B' building. The balcony affords panoramic ocean views of the ocean. As we are in the middle bldg facing straight out (the 2 others angle in), this view is also shared from LR and kitchen. We are an end unit, with no one on the side that has the bedroom.
- Golf carts are not allowed. I am against that HOA policy, to no avail :(
- We are allowed only 1 parking pass during April thru Sep; 2 upon request from Oct thru March.
IOP is a barrier island suburb of Charleston. You are only ten miles from the Historic District of Downtown Charleston, where you can shop at the Old Market.

The adults can then go back and forth from balcony/LR/kitchen to BR thru the separate bathroom door without waking the kids. We are well suited for 2-4 adults 25 and over, and 5 people ONLY if some are children. 5 adults would Not be comfortable. Queen sleeper sofa adds extra sleeping. BR has medium firmness mattresses. Bed linens and bath towels are provided. (You may certainly bring and/or rent extra linens from cleaning service here if desired. Also, beach/pool towels are Not provided. Buy here for use and memento.)
FREE SECURE WIFI and Comcast basic cable.

We keep a few beach chairs, a small/med cooler, and a some beach toys for guests to use. I also have info for a service that will set you up with wood and canvas loungers and umbrellas each morn.

We have upgraded medium firmness BR mattress after some guests found the other too soft. Previous full firm one brought other complaints, so we hope it will now please all.
It is standard practice to have guests empty trash, as they may have stinky stuff (diapers, seafood shells...) which permeates the place when not cleaned for hours, or occasionally the next day.

- Nov-Feb, we have great discounts for longer stays.

Great time

My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. We took advantage of the many restaurants near by. We enjoyed sitting out on the pier as well as having our morning coffee on the patio. The place was comfortable. Bedroom stays pretty bright at night due to the outside lights,but we managed.

Isle of Palms

While all older condos need some TLC, this one is well taken care of but could use a little cosmetic attention ( painting, curtains). My only real problem was with the outside hall ceiling light ( not owners responsibility) directly over our bedroom window which lacked sufficient darkening treatments.

We had an amazing time. The location was perfect! We had a great view of the pool and ocean from our balcony. We loved being steps away from everything, including excellent restaurants, grocery store, pool and ocean. It is a good size for a family of 4 and had everything we needed. We watched the sunrise from the pier which was great. We also did two boat excursions (crabbing and shark fishing) that were very close by at the marina. Highly recommend that! It was a perfect getaway for my family!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My name is Susan Player Verbsky; a wife and mother by God's Grace, a Psychotherapist by education & training, with a small practice here for 25+ years, and a Real Estate Investment and Management Specialist by design for the same time period. I enjoy the great intangible rewards of Therapy, and, equally, the tangible rewards of investing and developing a property, as well as working with people planning vacation time her and several other places.

Why they chose this property

After many years managing my parent's large wonderful beachfront home that rents for $12,000+ a week, we invested in a more affordable vacation here for smaller families/groups, that would be easily accessible to the beach and historic downtown. I am from here, we live close by, and we had stayed and loved these condos for years as a perfect one family beach/Charleston get-a-way before buying.

What makes this property unique

2nd floor VIEWs are as great as 3rd floor w/out the climb. Better rates and 2 x the size of the beachfront hotels, and much bigger balcony. Renovated kitchen and bath w/ fully replaced sheetrock walls and ceilings throughout for best allergy relief. End unit shares no BR wall with neighbor, has more open panoramic balcony, plus ours has the conference room below- empty at night and 75% of daytime. ** Some smaller groups/ families may want to look at our 1BR (king bed)/1BA rental 1 mile from the beach and 6 miles to Historic Downtown, and Larger family gatherings our family 6BR beachfront home listing 10624.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
