About this property

Beachfront Charleston Lowcountry 6BR/4.75BA Glorious Views, Location, & Access +

Historic Charleston offers the best of All Worlds: incredible beaches, year-round festivals - Art & Music, historic sight-seeing, Foodie Heaven, nice Weather All year, & sooo much more ...

Lowcountry Living is Elegant, yet Comfortable. This spacious home, on beachfront with glorious views, is designed for a large gathering of family and/or friends. The main living area, warmed by heart-of-pine, has five sofas to accommodate hanging-out and visiting. Antique dining table seats 10-16 with four stools at the adjoining kitchen counter/bar. Both areas look out over the set-down screen porch with tables, chairs, hammock, and sundeck onto the beautiful white beach and ocean. You are just close enough to see dolphins frolic from inside the home, and we are center stage for sail surfers from Breech Inlet to pier. We are truly the closest to beach/ocean you can get. Why priced so well? We are the owners, grew up here, live close by, and have been doing this for 20+ years now, so we are competitive at pricing. Compare our photos to others.
!Please read Full description Before booking! and note: Our family built this home in 1993. We are Not Mid Century Modern/ Industrial/ stainless/ granite/Minimalist and 2024 renovated (though updates and replacements are consistent). We ARE 5 star Location, Casual Elegance, Cleanliness, and Comfort. Colors correlate to Whites of the Sand and Wave caps, Non-neutral Blues of the Ocean and Sky, and BRs as varied seashells. 130+ yr old heart pine floors, counters, and bead-board walls throughout the main floor set the tone for our Traditional Lowcountry Style, Family & Friends, beach house. Many Family, and Guest, Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthday's, Rehearsal Dinners, BBQ's, Oyster Roasts, and much more have brought Divine Blessings, Great Love, and Joyful Karma into the fiber of our home. (There are plenty of lovely large houses close by to pay more for stainless, granite, no personal items or photos, plasma TVs, etc; just Not our family's preference.)
PRIVACY! Designed for congregating, this home also offers individual privacy. All BRs have extra wall and floor insulation, four of these have ocean views and three have doors onto the upper level deck. The large kid's room has been painted to resemble an aquarium. It has two sets of bunks with trundles under each. We are set up to very comfortably accommodate 10 adults with 2-6 children, or 12 is our FIRM MAX for ALL-ADULT GROUPS, for your comfort and our home's safety. Private XFinity high speed WIFI. The underneath of this home is a grill-out, hang-out, play area, white washed and open-air, 15 ft ceiling. It has a gas and charcoal grill, a tiki bar area, ping pong table, GOLF CART, and various outdoor/beach games, as well as outdoor table and chairs. We keep 10-15 beach/sand chairs, a large cooler, and an awesome all-terrain Wonder Wheeler to tote your things across your private boardwalk and down the dune.
Our outdoor areas are Not vacuumed and dusted weekly. We have tried forever to get Charleston palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, ants, and no see 'ums to go away (pest control yearly contract always), or at least behave, to no avail. We have info for a service that will set you up with wood and canvas loungers and umbrellas each morn. Email to ask about our shared pool access. Washingtonian.com DC used our home as the photo for DC Beach Guide: 3 Tips on Renting a Beach House" - July 16, 2018 -OCEAN BOULEVARD'S OCEANFRONT HOMES ARE THE CLOSEST LEGALLY POSSIBLE TO OCEAN ON THE ISLAND. LOCATION... LOCATION... LOCATION! We choose this specific lot out of many (in 1987 when Ocean Blvd just opened to building) for the closest legal proximity to the beach (7 yds down our private boardwalk), safe swimming area, and non-crowded privacy from the commercial area, a 3/4 mile walk.

Bedroom breakdown:1 king master BR with ocean view on main floor (other 5 BRs are upstairs) 4 Queen BRs, 3 with oceanfront view, 1 BR is without ocean view (2 have loveseats which have been also used as toddler beds, 6 twin beds in kid's room (2 sets of bunks with trundles; plus a pack-n-play for tots). Bathroom breakdown: Main floor King master is full en suite. 1/2 bath on main floor.
3 full baths upstairs are all accessed from hallway, enclosed outdoor shower ground level great to get the sand off.
You are 3/4 mile walk or drive down the beachfront to The world famous Windjammer beach bar live entertainment, and volleyball tournaments. Also right there are Acme Lowcountry Kitchen, the Sea Biscuit, the Dinghy, the Refuge, Long Island Cafe, The Refuge, Coda del Pesce, Coconut Joe's, and many more pub, restaurants, and shops. 3/4 mile the other way to The Boathouse Restaurant on Breech Inlet. While enjoying the Island Life, you can go swimming, body surfing, play volleyball, dine at oceanfront restaurants, bike the beaches, jog, cruise the Intracoastal Waterway, sail, surf, windsurf, take in some live music, shop the boutiques. Check out the scuba diving or go deep sea fishing. Relax at a spa or try horseback riding. Kayak, parasail, water-ski, fish, go 'Crabin or Shrimpin,' walk the beach for shells, take a sunset cruise, charter a small boat, explore uninhabited islands, play some of the South’s finest golf courses. You are only ten miles from the Historic District of Downtown Charleston. Take in the charm of this beautiful city and learn more about Charleston on a horse-drawn carriage ride, or tour Charleston Bay and Fort Sumter by boat. South Carolina Aquarium, world class restaurants, the Charleston City Open Market and shopping galore, live theater, live music, museums, and more. You are just five minutes from Mount Pleasant Towne Centre: an upscale shopping experience in classic southern style. With over 50 national and local tenants, including: Belk, Chico's, Claire's, Copper Penny, Gap, Bath & Body Works, Men's Wearhouse and Old Navy, as well as the regions only J.Jill, Coldwater Creek and Francesca's, and many more. Sample exquisite home-made candy at Sweet Julep's Candy & Gifts, or dine at Savi Cucina + Wine Bar, Zoes Kitchen, Burton's Grill, Grimaldi's Pizzaria, PF Changs, 5 Guys Burgers, Longhorn Steakhouse, TGI Friday's, ++ After dinner, stroll the lush, tree-lined streets or relax at the luxurious Palmetto Grande 16-screen theatre. Ten minutes away you'll find famous Shem Creek shrimp boats and seafood restaurants. The Yorktown WWII destroyer and several historical plantations are all within easy driving distance as well.

Again, We are set up to very comfortably accommodate 10 adults with 2-6 children, or 12 adults. Isle of Palms now strictly enforces their CODES which limit the number of guests in all rentals. We may only exceed 16 guests for children 2 years or younger. Guests risk a fine for violating Codes. We now have a golf cart available for use by licensed drivers only, with signed waver! We pay a Professional Cleaning Company MORE than what is charged here to do the most thorough job possible. Sometimes mistakes are made. Previous guests put poorly washed utensils, glasses, etc away in cabinets, spill makeup in a closed bedroom drawer, stain multiple things. Kids leave creative things in hidden spots,... M&M Cleaning does a great job, and will come back to correct reasonable complaints. (We've had 8 cleaning companies in our 22 years renting by owner. 3 closed. 4 were fired. Their business is tougher than ours.) The outdoor areas are cleaned regularly, but not in between every weekly Summer use and will likely have sand and dirt, etc, just like a yard or any outdoor area. Grill will have a gas tank, but it is possible you will need to get a refill and/or your own charcoal.
We Highly recommend Charleston Place, the Mills House, the Dewberry Charleston, Wentworth Mansion, (and more if you ask) for white glove, daily, full staff service. Bed linens and bath towels can be provided. Sheets and towels are certainly guaranteed clean, but not free from small product stains. You may rent linens from a service if preferred, or bring your own. (Please note: there is a separate main floor master Suite NOT available for rental that will be locked off and empty for your stay, and is Not part of the 6BR/ 4.75BA . and-We also have a small oceanfront condo that sleeps up to 5 - 3/4 of a mile up the beach for small groups or additional guests, listing here is 116783. Ask about great rates and availability.)
Private chef services are available. Ask for more info.Also note: We provide a limited amount of start-up paper goods, soaps, etc. Our cleaners provide quality basic linens. Some guests prefer to bring their own for maximum comfort. Extras are also available for rent from our cleaning service, or several independent ones in the area.The full deposit will be returned if a CANCELLATION is made 90 days prior to April - Labor Day reservations. 50% will be refunded for a cancellation 45-90 days prior. 100% minus $100 handling fee will be refunded in any case, if the spot can be filled after cancellation. Off season and last minute rentals are 60/30-60 and 100%-$100 If filled. A serious threat of hurricane (actual Hurricane Warnings for the Charleston area in the next 72 hours) would constitute a 100% refund. Guests, and guests of guests, are NOT allowed to have or bring Firearms in or on this property, excepting water-guns. It is standard practice to have guests empty trash upon leaving, as they may have stinky stuff (diapers, seafood, shells...) which permeates the place when not cleaned for hours, or occasionally the next day.

Thanksgiving 2024

Susan's description of the house was spot on. This is a well lived in family property with soul, character, and history. It reminded us of our parents place and was perfectly kitchy and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the common spaces where the family gathered for meals and games. We loved morning coffee overlooking the bay window giving us a beautify view of the ocean. The home felt a like visiting my grandmother's house. Susan was fantastic in her communication! Thank you for a memorable visit.

like visiting your grandparents!

We had a great stay at this house… it’s a little quirky but in a comfortable and comforting way - old school. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable, a Harris Teeter a mile away, easy drive to downtown Charleston. We loved the big giant dining table, and the comfy couches. Very handy having two fridges, and there was plenty of hot water, good water pressure.

Beautiful, family friendly beach house!

My family of ten people ( ages 10-85) and I were here for our grandaughter’s wedding near by and we all had a fantastic weekend. I’ve been coming to Isle of Palms since I was a child and have stayed in numerous houses on the island , but this is by far the most impressive. It is so warm and inviting, very relaxing and right on the ocean. I personally appreciated the vintage look of the house, although it’s not that old. Our host gave detailed information in a timely manner which was so appreciated. Many thanks for a wonderful experience!

The decor is comfortable, the screened in porch is fabulous, and the beach is wonderful. The owner was delightful to work with and we hope to be invited back next year! The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our group of friends! We want to move there permanently!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Player Verbsky

Host profile image
My name is Susan Player Verbsky; a wife and mother by God's Grace, a Psychotherapist by training, with a small practice here for 25+ years, and a Real Estate investment and management specialist by design for the same time period. I enjoy the great intangible rewards of Therapy, and, equally, the tangible rewards of developing a property and working with people planning vacation time.

Why they chose this property

Our parents bought this lot, and our whole family collaborated with Beau Clowney Architectural Design to build this house, after many years of family trips renting homes up and down the Carolina Coast. We choose this spot in Charleston, our family's Maternal home, on IOP for its exceptionally beautiful and safe beach, proximity to ocean, and as well to all that Charleston has to offer. We then endeavored to incorporate all of the do's and dont's we learned in the many beachfront homes we had rented. * Small groups and families may want to look at our small 5 max persons beachfront condo 2/3 mile up the beach.

What makes this property unique

As mentioned previously, this home is designed for a large gathering of family and/or friends to enjoy each other, enjoy privacy when desired, enjoy amazing views from almost every room, enjoy the best beach, and enjoy Charleston when you can tear yourself away. I am from this area, and live less than 7 miles away, so I am hands-on. We are in a residential area, so all good for fun and refreshments, but if you're looking for a total party house, please continue : )
