Great Goat Island House
This house was great! We enjoyed staying on Goat Island and living the lifestyle of getting everywhere by boat. The house easily slept the 7 in our party and had everything we needed for the weekend.

Trip was great. House was sufficient.
Guys fishing trip was a blast. Wouldn't necessarily bring my family though. House is sub-par. Didn't get the code to check in until 2 days after we arrived, but luckily the keybox was left unlocked. Had I not checked we would have had to leave. I messaged the property manager the day of our arrival to ensure we had the necessary information to access the home, but didn't receive a response until 2 days later. The fishing was great and the waters are beautiful in this area, but I wouldn't rent here again. Will look for a different property next time.

Great Location and Stay
Our family has wanted to stay on Goat Island for a while and finally had the chance to do that this past weekend. The property manager Will was wonderful and always easy to get in touch with. Loading in from the boat was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the kids loved staying in the loft upstairs! We would love to have explored the island a little more and did take a walk on the path but did not have a chance to take all the paths. Would love to have had a map showing the different paths and where they take you to on the island - maybe something that could be left for future renters. We would definitely stay again! Great job Will!

White House on Goat Island
My husband and I enjoyed escaping to the White House. It was quiet and private. The house was very spacious. Love the little cart that helps to transport luggage from the dock to the house. Will was great about helping us with transportation from IOP Marina to the house and with any questions we had during our stay. We are thinking about taking with our adult children there next year for the family vacation. I hope they are able to get the outside of the house pressure-washed by then.

Love the Goat!
This property has lots of bed space, clean comfortable beds, washer/dryer, good common space to hang out in, and a fantastic dock. A little TLC would go a long way with this house, just need to clear out, clean up a little. Significant leak in the bedroom closet, several broken outdoor chairs, and kitchen needs to be cleaned out and re-stocked with a few things. I would give the house 4 1/2 stars. Did not affect how much we enjoyed Goat Island, we always have fun boating, visiting Capers, and fishing here at the GOAT!

Best Birthday Ever
I've always passed this house on the ICW and wanted to stay and I'm so glad I did. Perfect staycation for a girl's getaway or family vacation on an island. We will have tons of memories to laugh at for years to come and plan on making it an annual trip! The property manager, Will, was super helpful to answer all of my questions and even came out, immediately, to check on the water or us (operator error)!!!! Can't wait to go back!

Great place right on the water!
We loved our stay at this cottage on Goat Island. It was very clean, very comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The property manager was great - checking in on us to make sure our stay was perfect. The house is quite large and beautifully appointed. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house with beautiful views!
We did a little staycation at this house for my fiance's 30th birthday, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! It had the perfect setup for groups with multiple couples. Great porches and seating space. The contact for the house, Will, is extremely helpful and quick to respond to questions. Will definitely be renting again!

Will was an excellent host! We had a fantastic stay at this house. It was clean and tidy on arrival, with no surprises. The house was stocked with everything a house should be. I have always wanted to stay on Goat Island, and this home did not disappoint. The dock was serviceable for a 28' boat with no issues. This is one of the few homes, that I have found on VRBO, that sleeps more people than stated. There are (4) actual bedrooms, plus the loft. The screened in porch is THE place to be, and views are amazing. The Goat island experience is not for everyone, but it is an adventure, and experience like no other! If you have a boat, there's nothing like Goat!

IOP but with privacy!
Our family enjoyed our vacation on Goat Island. We enjoyed being so close to IOP but yet able to get away and have quietness, as well. The house is in a great location close to the IOP Marina along the Intracoastal Waterway with your own dock. The only drawback is this particular part of the Intracoastal is not a "No-Wake" zone which makes it tough on your boat when there is heavy boat traffic (mostly the weekends). The house overall was very cute and nicely decorated. We experienced a few issues with the house, but thankfully we had an amazing property manager who made himself available the entire week we were there to address our concerns. Things can go wrong with a vacation beach house near salt water, but anything we needed, we received a quick response that that particular issue would be addressed. So the communication with the property manager was awesome! And all issues were corrected by the property manager and owner. All in all, we enjoyed being on the water and being able to dine by boat any time we wanted. It felt like being on a private island, but not too private if we wanted to head to town (IOP/downtown Charleston).
