About this property

Beautiful 1-BR Oceanfront - Closest to Beach & Private Pier!

Create memories that will last a lifetime at this perfect coastal location! With its tranquil surf, beautiful beach, and warm climate, Isle of Palms is ideal for a family vacation or a romantic retreat for just the two of you. Unit #101 is located just steps from the beach access and the complex-owned private fishing pier, both gated. This is a first floor unit and still has an amazing, tropical view down the beach!

Our condo, Shipp's Treasure, is an end unit so you have only the dunes with the sand and sea beyond. The southeast facing window provides that extra sunlight that is only afforded to the end units. Beautiful, lush vegetation on the dunes maintains your privacy as well as the custom plantation shutters! This close to the ocean you can hear the surf on the balcony or through an open window. Open the doors and feel the warm ocean breeze blow right through the condo!

UPDATED - JANUARY 2017!! - BRAND NEW CERAMIC TILE FLOOR THROUGHOUT AND AN ELEGANT TILED WALK-IN SHOWER!!! Other appointments that make our condo one of the nicest in the complex include: beautiful granite countertops in kitchen and bath, abundant pantry storage with custom pull-out drawers, full-size range, bead-board cabinetry, flat screen HD TVs in both living area and bedroom, and dual sleeper sofas. We are unit 101 on the first floor, just 10 stairs to the private boardwalk. Possibly the shortest walk from the complex to the ocean, pier, and one of the picnic/grill areas, and the pool is just a few more steps beyond. The pool house has a laundry facility that offers commercial grade washers and dryers for those longer stays or off-season retreats.

Our condo is less than 14 miles from the city of Charleston. In downtown Charleston, get a real sense of early America and enjoy the southern charm and beauty of this historic location, voted the #1 city in America by Conde Naste Traveler magazine! Shop at the Old Market, take a horse drawn carriage ride down cobblestone streets, cruise the world famous waterfront Battery, or take one of a variety of informative walking tours. With some of the best restaurants in the nation, you’ll never be short of good food and fun.

Want something even closer? The city of Mt. Pleasant is just across the IOP connector and has an abundance of shopping, restaurants, sight-seeing (e.g. Boone Hall Plantation), and night life.

Visit Shipp's Treasure on the Isle of Palms and let the memories begin!

Birthday Getaway

Awesome trip, went down for a weekend away for my wife’s birthday. The accommodations were better than expected. Communication was great, amenities were just as described. Loved the private beach and pier access. Great food, atmosphere and scenery. We finished our time with a tour of USS Yorktown, was an amazing trip! Thank you! Hope to come back soon!

Vacation for two.

Condo was as advertised. We did all the historic sightseeing and this location was a perfect distance from all of them. The property is not as private as we thought. Gates to private pier and beach not locked people walked through from the street parking.

Amazing family vacation

Our little family had the most amazing time here! We've always gone to IOP for the 4th of July but have never stayed on the island. The location was perfect! We were able to walk to dinner, and the condo had everything we needed to make dinner with a view on nights we wanted to stay in. You literally cannot get any closer to the beach. The marsh bunnies played and ate their breakfast just off of the patio each morning as we sipped our coffee, listening to the ocean. We are absolutely re-booking!

Great beach condo

Wonderful condo, great location, very well equipped. Loved the porch and the view. Unfortunately, we didn't have great weather but the owner was responsive and available to our needs. Only improvements we would make is update the living room area and the bedroom was a bit tight - would be better for two rather than four people. Would return!

Shower doesn't drain well at all - needs attention - otherwise, all good.

Great access to beach and restaurants. Easy car ride to Charleston area attractions. Thanks! PS: Shower drain backed up on first use - wouldn't fully empty for an hour or so - thankfully, it didn't overflow into the rest of the bathroom.

IOP Condo

The condo was very nice and clean, with all the amenities. Although the condo was a little cramped for space, the location was perfect. Steps to the beach and a short walk to the main street. Charleston is only 20' away. there are two great golf courses within 10'. IOP could use a decent coffee shop!

Absolutely glorious!

The space was literal *steps* from the ocean, with private coded access. Add to this that the unit was spotless, well-equipped (and I cook), with plenty of linens and a beautiful walk-in shower? Yes - I’ll be back

Great condo for 2 people, but a few things need attention

The condo works perfectly for us and we love the location. It truly is very close to the beach. But, we stayed 2 yrs. ago and it was great. This time there were several broken floor tiles which moved under our feet and the toilet rocked on its base. Over priced for the condition of the floor.

Amazing Hidden Beach Front Gem

WOW.... We arrived, unpacked, and headed directly to the beach, which was only steps away. This hidden gem is right at the heart of IOP, and yet you feel so secluded and private. The layout was perfect, and all you need. We loved that you even had your own fishing pier right there. Waking up to the sound of the ocean was wonderful. You can not beat the price on this completely updated and brand new condo. Charleston is a quick drive, or taxi ride away. It's the best of both worlds, Charleston, and the Beach! We can not wait to come back.

6/10 Okay

Location great, but…..

While overall we enjoyed our stay, a very uncomfortable bed made for difficult sleep. The location was great, and just steps from the beach, but due to the condo being on the first floor there was no view of the ocean while sitting on the deck. The condo is rather small and fine for two people but no storage for suitcase. The biggest downside for us, however, was the bed! We got very little sleep because it has a dip in the center and way too soft. It is rather high too! Additionally there is no cable, so no opportunity to check the weather or watch the local news. And internet was spotty so we had a hard time with our iPad/computer connection. We did love that we could walk right out to the beach and into town with lots of shopping/ restaurants close by. The location is also close to Charleston.

About the host

Why they chose this property

With our deep love of Charleston and Isle of Palms, and with family only minutes away in Mt. Pleasant, it was inevitable that we would own property on the island, and this property is the perfect location! The condo offers everything that we love about the low country; beautiful scenery, a quick stroll to the restaurants and shops on IOP, and easy access to all the culture, shopping, and experiences that Mt. Pleasant and Charleston have to offer.

Our family has been coming to the area since our oldest children, now grown, were youngsters and hope to create many more lasting memories with our youngest child and (someday) grandchildren! We feel truly blessed to have this 'home' on the island to call our own.

What makes this property unique

We love the toned down, family atmosphere; the short walk to island shops and iconic restaurants, watching the dolphins play in the surf and the waters of Breach Inlet, and the fact that we are only minutes from beautiful Charleston!

The condo is situated literally just behind the dune of the beach! You can open the window or sit on the deck and hear the waves breaking on the sand. Very peaceful!
