About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachy Vintage Vibe — Pet Friendly!

We are just a 100 yard walk down a dead-end street that ends at the beach! This part of the beach is very uncrowded even during the summer. Upon entering, you will be greeted with tiled floors that are offset by the warmth of vintage California redwood paneling and exposed brick walls. This house is truly stuck in the 1970s and not decked out with all the latest gadgets or appliances. It is very simplistic, rustic, and well, kind of quirky. To offset what it is lacking, it has a prime island location!
It's suitable for 2 people, or 3 if the third person wants to sleep on a small couch, or you're welcome to bring a blow-up mattress – there is ample room for one.

Please note: guests will not have access to AC/Heat controls. This house is equipped with a finicky geo-thermal unit. If you desire a certain temp, please let us know and we will adjust the thermostat to your desire. However, being an older home located in a subtropical climate, it will never be 70 degrees inside during the summer months.
The property sits upon what once was a natural sand dune and is very shady with lots of oaks and palm trees. There is unkempt vegetation everywhere – there is no manicured lawn here. (This lot is reminiscent to what this end of island looked like before the resort area was developed). We have chosen to have a sustainable yard – no watering required – and provide an ecological oasis for native plants and animals. If you're lucky, you will see the small herd of white tail deer that call a corner of the yard their home. PLEASE NOTE: We are surrounded by lots of trees; therefore, there is not a lot of natural light inside, so it may be too dark for some people’s taste. We have ample lighting and lamps throughout to compensate for the lack of natural light coming through the windows and doors. However, this can be beneficial especially during the hot summer months after being out on the beach all day.
So, if what you’re looking for is a place with all the bells and whistles of a newly renovated home or an airy light-filled modern beach house with all the latest appliances and perks, please look elsewhere – you’re not going to be happy here. We strive to make our guests happy and comfortable during their stay and enjoy their time in our ocean playground.
**FYI: there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer. If you need to do laundry, there is an IOP Laundromat about 2.5 miles away in the Harris Teeter shopping center.

PETS: We do accept friendly, housebroken dogs only – Limit 2 Dogs – preferably smaller dogs, but will accept large dogs depending on breed. ALL DOGS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED PRIOR TO BOOKING. We charge a non refundable pet fee of $50. This fee is included in your quote when you select that you are bringing pets. Also, when outside, your dog will have to be on a leash and all pet waste will have to be picked up and disposed in the outside trash bin. We do not accept cats.
City of Isle of Palms Dog Rules: Dogs can run off-leash on the beach every day from 5a.m. to 9a.m., after that, they must be leashed at all times.
If you would like more info, please inquire via email and I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions before you book.

This stay has everything you need to enjoy a beach trip. Description was right on. Only thing I can say is please trim the palm tree hanging into the driveway and cut down the thorn vine next to where you park. The thorns grabbed me a few times. Other than that it was clean and convenient.

Interesting Place

This is one of those places where you need to study every photo and carefully read the description and the reviews. If you do that and understand what you are getting then you will be very happy. The location couldn't be much better. That end of the beach is very quiet. The house is unusual and interesting. It reminds me of a hobbit home. It has everything but nothing is top shelf. I stayed there with my dog so she could have a beach vacation and that worked out great. The tiny shower has a wand so you can bathe your dog after the beach. I enjoyed it.

Awesome place!!!

The beach is my sanctuary. I love this place that I don’t have to move the car till I ready to leave!!! Clean, quiet, convenient to Mount Pleasant and shopping, and best of all the beach! Lots of construction going on nearby, but ocean can be heard early morning and evening. Convenient seating area outside the door too!

Rustic beach stay

We arrived at this rustic beach house with our golden doodle Millie and this was certainly as advertised with full transparency. If you are expecting to stay at a high end beach house with white beach decor then this is not your vibe! My wife and especially our dog loved the cool dark vibes that reminded us of a Hawaiian haven on the back shore! The fact that you are a short 200 yd walk from a beautiful beachfront is a huge plus. Our only disappointment was with the bed as it was way too firm and could have used some type of pillow top and the pillows just too flat. All in all it was a great trip and we enjoyed chilling in this rustic beach retreat!!

Accurate Description on IOP where we wanted to be...

This Rustic Beach Retreat location on IOP was exactly what we wanted! We Read and Reread the absolute narrative description of this "very simplistic, rustic, and kind of quirky" home. The absolute description says it all, as the explanation is indeed absolutely accurate. To offset what it’s lacking, it does have a "great beach-y vibe and a primo location". As stated: the "cottage" "may be too dark inside for some people’s taste", however for us this simplistic, rustic & quirky abode was a reprieve from ALL of the other homes that are exactly alike! Great location and where we not only wanted to be, BUT where we needed to be! Thanks for letting us stay!

Not what we were expecting

This is vacation rental is listed as a vintage home. I would not consider this a vintage home. It is old that is for sure but it has not been kept up with. There is overgrown vegitation all over the property. Where you have to park there is tree with thorned vines all over it. Every time we got into our car mu daughter was pulling thornes out of her shoes. The property is littered with old items all over. Some old chairs, a trailer for maybe some kayaks.. old sandles clothes trash. Etc. Our first day arriving the house was very hot it was at 80 I notified the owner threw verbo and they responded that they would turn the air down so that it would cool off. A little before 10pm it was at 81 and we decided to gonand get some fans before all the stores closed. I spent 124 on fans and after arriving back a little after 10 a man pulled up. He lived upstairs and said he was not the owner but that the owner had contacted him about it. He asked if he could go in a trip the breaker.. he did so the tempature stayed at 80 most of the night by the time we got it it was 75 which was much better. The owner then responded after i told them that i had paid a food bit for fans and that the temperature was not acceptable. They responded by saying that they told the person living upstairs to put the air on 68 but did not realize that they were not home at the time. My elderly dog who has a heart condition was under a lot of stress panting excessively all night long. It was not a good start

Worst house on the block....needs tore down

I don't know how this place is allowed on IOP Palm Boulevard. Its a total eyesore. When they said rustic, I was not expecting much and yet I was disappointed!!! More like unkempt, unfinished and unsanitary! It looked like a joke. A haunted quirky old Beach house designed by PeeWee Herman is more accurate. Definitely do not recommend and definitely is in a league all its own. The other property owners have to hate this place as it takes away from the beauty of the other nice beach properties. Again I don't know how this place is allowed to be there..it needs a demolition crew!!

Value

For the rental fee this property was worth the cost. It has drawbacks in ease of access and temperature control that were not adequate explained on the listing. The temperature is controlled in the upstairs unit but the listing does not tell you that and on the first night when I realized I just could not find the thermostat, I asked about it via email but it was too late so the response was the next morning. Also, there was no explanation as to how to control the fan. The PM was very helpful and responsive, which was a huge plus. The unit was well kept and comfortable once the temperature and ceiling fan was under control. Bottom line for me is that for IOP you get a very nice place in a good location for a very reasonable price.

junk cars

the place was clean but in bad shape. One little light in bathroom. Place was called quirky but i call it unfished. Two junk cars in over grown yard that was called natural landscape. No dishwasher or washer or dryer. was scared when we heard noises upstairs because was not told a person lived there that had access to our rooms thru doors to our living space. If you wanted heat or air turned to different setting you had to go thru owner by phone call . The temp had a lock on it.. tv was not useable. Wi Fi was always going out. Towels covered windows. Patio furniture was dirty.Shower was awful.If you have a reservation and can cancel get out while you can

Disappointed in the quality of furnishings, especially patio furniture. Surrounding grounds not maintained and cluttered with debris. Low quality mattress. Very old structure with musty smelling interior. Poor climate control and internet service. Overall, not to standard compared to similar accommodations in that area. Good points: Great water pressure and proximity to the beach.

We really enjoyed this charming place. It is quite artistic, with nice brick work and arches. Excellent shower. The bed was quite comfortable. Readers should look at the caveat in the host's description of her place-- it is not for the typical Wild Dunes tourist. One downside was due to the extreme heat, the A/C went out 3 times, which was readily fixable once we found the right breaker. Overall, we loved our stay.

Perfect beach bungalow for a couple

We really enjoyed this location. The description aptly describes the interior. Cool tile floors and interesting architecture. Very short walk to private beach. Growing up as a beach kid, the 70's vibe was super fun. Be advised that this is the bottom level of am occupied house. Outdoor sitting area could use a little attention, but that didn't affect the fun. Thanks for the stay!

Great quickie getsway!

This place was perfect for me and my boxer pup. Love the bohemian vibe of the place! Just a short stroll to the beach so Zuri made lots of friends early in the AM as I got my steps in on the beach. The basement apartment is quirky and a bit dark, but there are lots of lamps to light your way. Glad it was sunny as I spent little time inside during the day. Would stay again!

Older and quirky, but lovely and clean!

If you are looking for a getaway that is affordable and easy to access the beach, this is a perfect option. The property is not fancy but it is very clean and had everything my husband and I needed. We brought our dog and since the apartment was quiet and dark, he felt comfortable being there by himself. The owners were accommodating and responsive and easy to work with and we felt comfortable/safe being on the property. This end of the island is less busy and was relaxing for us. If you are interested in modern or oceanfront, this is probably not the place for you. It is dark and older, but a short walk to the ocean. We enjoyed the unique style and quirky design and plan to return again when we can!

Misrepresentation

The property is listed as a house. Its a basement apartment, There's a tenant living on the main floor. There is no door on the shower, the opening is very narrow to get into the shower.The outside property is not clean debris, garage and concrete are everywhere. The overall house is dirty inside and out. When we reached to the owner she was not concerned about our grievances.
