Weekend stay
We booked this property based on location, According to the map it was one house away from a large group we were traveling with and wanting to stay close to. The house ended up being over half a mile away from the location stated on VRBO. Not easily accessible with food and drinks to go back and forth.

Cottage by the sea
The cottage is in need of someTLC.The windows need replaced and the back door is in need of paint or replacing.I feel bad that whoever built and painted the back deck also got overspray on the house .This is so sad for a cute little cottage.The kitchen just needs pots that the teflon is not pealing and some glass wine glasses not plastic.

Adorable Little Get Away
Location and Ease! This stay was remarkably easy and comfortable. A throwback to an old beach house, this stay was big enough for my family. We were able to walk to the beach every morning and let our kids and dogs run on the beach. The details that the hostess put in were so thoughtful. We had a Christmas stay, and we were delighted to see a tree and a scavenger hunt for the kids. It was accommodating, and the hostess was very responsive to any of our needs (which were few!) We can't wait to book again!

Mini vacay
This little cottage was a throw back to simpler times at IOP. We are Charleston area natives, born and raised, who live elsewhere now. The "cottage by the sea" gave us that unpretentious beach feel we miss! The natural backyard view from the deck was so relaxing, and it was just a short walk down to the beach. Thank you Liz!

Perfect for us!
We had a great stay at this cozy cabin! So comfortable, so convenient to everything! Our doggos had a great vacay as well, with a great yard to run around in. Don't worry, one of our puppies has made sure the back yard is lizard free! If you are looking for swanky, this is not for you, but if you're looking for a great comfortable, neat, convenient homey place for a family with kids or fur babies, this is it!

Cute cottage, convenient location
I rented this property for a weekend so that I can go to a wedding in Mount Pleasant. I wanted to bring my dogs with me, and this place was perfect. The backyard was just the right size to allow them to run and get out a little bit. The house was very cozy and convenient. Everything we needed was in the house. A friend went with me. She said the queen bed was one of the most comfortable she had ever slept in. I used the lower of the bunkbeds and it was comfortable as well.

Very pet friendly
We travel often with our dogs and this was by far the perfect house. Granted, we were there for our sons baseball tournament but specifically chose this house due to proximity to the beach and a fence in backyard. There were dog toys and dog bowls, kids beach toys, coolers, etc and a short walk to the beach. Will look forward to renting again in the future.

Great location… close to beach!
The beach cottage was exactly what we needed for our spring break stay. Very convenient location to the beach, some shops and restaurants. We walked to the sea biscuit for breakfast.. highly recommend. The beach is a quick walk. You could bring bikes to ride all the way to the dunes and you could even ride them on the beach if you want. The queen bed was comfy. The kitchen had most things we needed. I brought my own frying pan and I wish I had brought my own pot too. The cookware needs to be updated or stainless steel added because the nonstick pots and pans were very scratched up. The backyard is a great place to chill and hose off from the beach. The property manager or owner was very receptive to any questions and even let us check in a little early.

IOP WEEK
Very pleasant base for my wife and I along with our dog. Short walk to beach each morning for walk to enjoy sunrise, coffee shops along the way back to house. Mid day easy drive to Charleston then back to house to rig up for paddling in the afternoon. IOP marina was very accommodating allowed us to park and paddle, I would not expect that once the season gets busy. Very pleased with the house for two not sure we would have enjoyed as much with more people in our party

Wonderful stay
We had a great time! The house was clean and well-suited for the needs of a mom and three teens. The teens could walk to the beach and enjoy without an adult having to drive them. Also close to stores and restaurants. Wonderful backyard for frisbee tossing, dog running and all sorts of games! We loved this place!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Hambright

Host profile image
Hey Y'all! My name is Liz. I moved to Charleston about 3 years ago (Boston native!) with my husband. We have 3 amazing children who absolutely love the beach! We live locally (about 10min away) and really enjoy coming to this great little cottage just steps away from the beach. We just purchased this property recently (June 2020) and have been making great upgrades. It really is the perfect getaway!

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect little beach house that's just 2 blocks (6min walk) from the beach and 1 block from a great shopping center (2 restaurants, GREAT coffee shop, and grocery store). The 1/2 acre lot provides a spacious back yard that is fenced in, making it great for pets to run around without worry. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on the back deck listening to the sound of circades with your family and friends. Also a quick drive to downtown Charleston if you want to get off the island. Come check out the #1 travel destination city in the U.S.!

What makes this property unique

Close to Beach. Big fenced in back yard. Quiet neighborhood. Easy access to everything. Pet Friendly!
