This beautiful 1Bd 1 Ba apartment is the back property to our other Beach House. VRBO # 476993 Check out the reviews and location. It is completely detached from the house with separate driveways, parking, and entrances. Ask about discounts when both units are rented together. Great for extended families, couples that want extra privacy, grandparents and larger groups, etc. This newly remodeled contemporary beach pad is steps to the sand and has incredible beach access as well as direct access to our beautiful 4.3 mile beach trail. Escalones in Spanish means 'steps' this is quite literally the steps apartment. It is steps to the beach and it is at the top of the steps of the property overlooking the neighborhood , street, and with a peek a boo ocean view. The neighbors have a lush tropical palm forest that block a rather nice direct ocean view.From the time you arrive to this cozy and contemporary beach oasis with its off street parking and full laundry facilities it is time to relax. Stroll down to Fisherman's on the pier and enjoy a sunset cocktail and wonderful seafood while perched above the crashing waves. Enjoy the full kitchen and dining room with its brand new dining set. Morning coffee seems to be more enjoyable out on the front balcony taking in the morning sun while watching people make their way down to to the beach via our convenient beach path only yards away.

Beach toys
Wander down to the beach for some great surf, or to Fisherman’s restaurant on the pier for dinner or sunset cocktails. Or, enjoy our beach trail on bike or on foot. Also, at low tide check out our tide pools, with starfish, sea anemones and muscles. Or, spend hours hunting for sea glass.

Quiet, peaceful and just steps from the beach
This was the perfect beach apartment for my stay. It is literally just a few steps to the walkway leading down to the beach and walking distance to the pier, shops and restaurants. The host communicated instructions clearly

Great little gem
We had a wonderful time at this cozy spot. It is so close to the beach which made for an amazing time. We loved being able to walk in either direction through the neighborhood to grab coffee. We could walk down the path to get right to the beach and enjoy the afternoon with our family. There seemed to be parking available on the street most days but we had our own parking spot on site. It was a quiet neighborhood too. The property had what we needed. The host was extremely responsive and made our stay very nice. We would be happy to stay here again!

Perfect rental of you live the beach!
Our stay was amazing. The landlord was kind and wonderful. The property was warm and inviting. It had everything you needed to cook, play at the beach, wash your clothing, etc. This property is walkable to the pier, the beach, dinning, and shopping. It was so lovely we actually changed our trip to spend most of the time in the beach and in town.

Great location and fulfillment of our needs
We are a retired couple in town for a wedding. Owner was very available and responsive. Perfect for 2 people. Walkable to the SC Pier, beach, and town. Know that there is a hill to walk up from the street and stairs to this upstairs unit. There are washer/dryer and beach toys available. We found this cute place met all our needs for a long weekend. Some noise from neighboring partying but wasn’t a problem. Bed and linens are nice. AC was welcome during this heat wave time. Would return to this place if ever in the area.
