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 Its overall a bit outdated but very roomy and comfy.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.

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.

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.

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 💖

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.

This property what not up to what we expected. This pictures made the property appear to be much fresher that is was The property what extremely dated. Bath rooms small and repairs to the tubs looked like bubble gum caulking. without question not worth the rental price. Would not rent again.

Tired and dated.

The house is dated and in need of LOTS of repairs. Patio doors to porch do not work properly Fan blade in bedroom fell off while fan was running. Could have caused an injury. Path to beach requires climbing over STEEP sand dune. An accident waiting to happen. We ended up using the public access path two doors down. Kitchen needs a good surface cleaning; All surfaces were tacky with greasy residue. There is a double oven but the upper oven doesn't work. Good things were the fact that there were two regroup and the location was great.

VERY disappointing vacation experience

We had multiple issues with this property. A floodlight in the neighbor's backyard was in our direct line of sight making it difficult to enjoy the ocean front porch at night. Also, the property wasn't advertised as handicapped inaccessible. Navigating the steep stairs was difficult for my husband and elderly visitors. Signs were posted all over the house with detailed instructions of what NOT to do (including no smoking signs in almost every room) making us feel as if we were in a dormitory. One typed sheet of instructions would have sufficed. Finally, none of the TVs were functioning when we checked in. The management company did respond to our concern but the problem wasn't fixed to our satisfaction. At one point, the maintenance man walked into the house unannounced(with a female companion). VERY poor and disappointing customer service.

Renter BEWARE!

The house is not maintained. It has many structural issues that made 6 adults very uncomfortable staying there. There are electrical drop cords every where. There are holes in some rooms of the floor; large enough for vermin to make there way into the house; many leaks from room air conditioners, toilets and sinks. Spider webs in the windows, blinds, and even in the furniture. Watch where you put your hands. The house is cluttered with old, worn, thrift store, furniture and lamps. In one room I counted 10 lamps not including the 3 lighted ceiling fans. And the smell will take your breath away and make you look for a place to throw up. The sun room, aka rotten floor room , covered with worn and dated rugs, smells of pee, mold and mildew. The sunroom windows are cracked and broken and are held together with clear tape. Tread lightly in this house. There is supposed to be a underneath section to sit and play games; don’t go there!; it is overgrown with mold, mildew, rust, and just plain neglected and nasty! Don’t stay here! Even though it is on the beach and the lot is gorgeous, (we had to call and ask for the grass and weeds to be cut so we could make our way to the overgrown beach path) you do have to eat and sleep in this nasty place!

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.

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!
