Beach bungalow getaway

Great beach cottage with plenty of space for a group of 9 of us! Close to the beach and Sullivan’s island. Dock was a nice touch and we watched a couple nice sunsets. Would recommend to anyone.

Great for a family weekend

We gathered together for a post Christmas family weekend and it was the perfect spot! The house was clean, spacious, and welcoming. The proximity to the beach was great, as was the dock access. Highly recommend!

Lovely home

We enjoyed this quaint older home with very comfortable beds and couches. The kitchen was original with updated appliances. The location near Breach Inlet was great. We could walk on the IOP beach or cross the bridge and walk on Sullivan’s Island. The dock on the creek was amazing with beautiful sunset views. The yard for the dog was very convenient. I think the number of outdoor spaces with comfortable furniture was definitely a plus as was the well appointed separate in-law suite.

Great beach rental

Check in process was a breeze, property very clean and amply supplied, fantastic location and dock was amazing! Only complaint was there is not way to access fence in yard from the house so we had to constantly leash dogs and there were multiple pickets missing from fence where dogs could escape along side very busy road. There was no break with managing dogs...I should have kenneled them, it was not much of a vacation from that perspective.

Holiday get away house

Overall this was a great rental property. The house is in a great neighborhood with easy walking access to the beach. The location is hard to beat. There is a nice outdoor space and lots of porches for relaxing. We were there in the winter and didn't use the porches as much as we would have in the summer. There was a little fenced in courtyard in the front. The house is older and settling, so the floor is very uneven upstairs. The house was missing a few stock items like oven mitts and draining towels. This property is managed by a large rental company. The communication was lacking. We had a problem with a bad fish oder in the refrigerator. Took them awhile to respond. We also tried to ask for a late departure and they never responded. Simply ignored multiple inquires. We also got a ticket for parking with our wheels on the road. So be careful where you park!

Great location, new dock was awesome

Great location and plenty of space for extended family. Dock was just rebuilt and was amazing - great for fishing and watching dolphins. Suite above garage had a strong musty scent that was bothersome... other than the normal "charm" of an older home.

Beautiful authentic property

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful house. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. All the porches and the in-law apt gave us ways to all be together or go to our own little areas for some alone time. We enjoyed the dock and had numerous dolphin encounters kayaking and paddle boarding. It was also the perfect place to take your glass of wine, etc. and watch the sunset. My only complaints are that I didn’t realize how busy the street was that you have to cross to get to the dock. Think twice if you have little ones. Also the whole time we were there they were finishing work on the house next door. They started at 8:00 am every morning hammering, sawing, bob cat reverse beeps and this went on all day. They also blocked our driveway several times but were very nice and prompt when we asked them to move. All in all we had a very pleasant stay.

Great location, loved having the private dock!

Extremely clean, comfortable furniture, well stocked with the feel of a well cared for home. Our three generation family gathering was very enjoyable. In fact, everyone said they preferred IOP to Hilton Head and Outer Banks from past summer trips. The young people loved having their jet skis across the street and spent many hours wake boarding any time of day - the dock is great and accessible at all tide levels. They saw many dolphins on their rides. If you venture to the other side of the main channel with your boats do be mindful of the tides and the sandbars. The older crowd enjoyed the front porch swing and the proximity to shopping and cultural events in Charleston and many restaurant selections nearby in Mount Pleasant. The beach walkers enjoyed the smooth sand from the bridge a block from the rental all the way past downtown IOP (great pit stop for clean public restrooms and water fountain) for miles to the other end of the island. We also enjoyed riding bikes over the bridge on Sullivan’s island or into IOP downtown for beachside rooftop beverages. Happy hour was also enjoyed at the Boathouse a block away on the rooftop bar watching dolphins (dinner inside was overpriced). We biked to beach access 3 most days which was a short easy trip or rode further into town to the county beach when the teenagers wanted to be around more people their age. Very nice to be within walking and riding distance to downtown IOP. Absolutely loved our first visit to IOP and would definitely chose this rental again. I do agree with other renters that there is a slight musty smell in the apartment over the garage but it did not bother the guests we had staying there and they loved the private space. It was great to have a second refrigerator over there. We loved all the decks and the front porch was a wonderful gathering spot. The yard is beautiful and the hammock was also very popular. It was fun to stay in a historic home and imagine what the island was like in its early years. The tilt to some of the floors added to the special feel of the place, we absolutely loved it.

Great location with dock

House was charming with all 4 bedrooms up steep stairs and slanting hallways. Kitchen was smaller than expected and had old appliances but we only cooked one night so it wasn’t a big deal. Having an extra beverage cooler in the kitchen was great. Sofas were very comfortable and the large dining table was great. The bedroom over the garage was nice but the AC didn’t work the great. Lots of parking available and even space for our boat trailer. Would definitely rent here again even with all the quirks of an older house.

Great location

The property was in a great location, near the beach and had nice views. We found a couple of dirty dishes, but beyond that the place was clean. The house is old so some cabinets aren't perfect, but the bathrooms and appliances were all sufficient. I would definitely come back to the property, especially if I had a large group. Thanks!

Cozy and great location

Home was in a great location and very charming. I loved the hammock in the yard and the front porch swing the best. The house was a bit choppy for me I prefer much more modern open spaces however still very nice and accommodating. The cottage over the garage was lovely that is where my husband and I stayed the only recommendation I would have been as a woman it was very hard to get ready in that bathroom without a front view mirror, minor details. We had such great access to the beach went there most evenings and mornings for walks and sunset and loved the restaurant walking distance across the street. Thanks!

Great Family Beach House

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It is a fabulous location with easy access to Sullivan's Island, IOP beach access, and downtown Charleston. The property was very clean and offered a variety of seating and sleeping choices. The in-law suite is perfect to provide a separate area, but still be very close to everyone else in the main house. Great washer/dryer to keep up with laundry and towels throughout the week. The deck is beautiful to watch the sunset and see dolphins play. Very nice access for fishing and water sports. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, dishes, platters, etc. There are parts of the house that would benefit from upgrading (kitchen and smaller bedrooms) which is why it is not earning 5 stars (wish there was a 4 1/2 option). However, it is a wonderful property and we would definitely recommend it and return there in the future. Please note that the rental credit needs to be claimed in the first 24hr (we didn't read this) and lost that opportunity.
