Queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. The full bath is in the hallway for easy access by everyone in your party and features a beautifully refurbished antique claw foot tub . The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and the living room is charming and comfortable. AND.... a private outdoor shower for rinsing the sand and salt away. Beach cart, two beach chairs, misc beach toys are available for guest use. Spend your days on the beach or in nearby Historic Charleston and your nights on the screened in patio enjoying dining, drinks, or just listening to the roar of the ocean. Guests may also enjoy sitting around the fire pit listening to music or enjoying conversation. 5 beach chairs are included for renter's use. This is the house you've been looking for.

Nice Little Beach Cottage

This little cottage was a nice place to stay and enjoy the area. I arrived from Asheville the day Hurricane Helene blew in. This changed the trip a lot for me, as you can imagine. In IOP, we lost power at the house for about a day. The Internet went out and never came back on. I called the property manager on Friday evening, and she returned my call around lunch on Saturday. She made sure to communicate that they had a lot of homes to oversee that day, and if it was the Internet provider, there was nothing they could do. The handyman came by soon after that, looked at it, and told us there was nothing he could do. Something really did not sit right with me. First, the property managers never sent a text to check on storm damage or safety. I ended up clearing up large branches. They also didn't text any updates on the power or follow up about the Internet. The Internet was out from Thurs eve and never came back on. The other thing I want to mention is the bedding. The sheets and pillows have much to be desired. The mattress - or mattress pad - is also lumpy. I wouldn't stay here again due to the bedding and managers. That said, my situation was unique. This is a nice place to stay, all told.

Cute beach cottage perfect for a long weekend girla trip

Myself and 4 of my friends stayed for Labor Day weekend and we loved the charming cottage. We loved spending time on the screened in porch and in the living room together. The location was excellent to the beach and restaurants.

A Cute House That Has All You Need

This house was the perfect set up for my family of six. We were on a visit for travel baseball and this house allowed us to have the best of both worlds. We got to enjoy the beach on down time from ballgames. The location was super convenient. I was very impressed with how well stocked the house was from kitchen utensils to bathroom soap. Overall very pleased and will keep in mind for future trips.

Cute little beach cottage

The house is in a great neighborhood, and a short 4 block walk to the beach.There is also a local playground 1 block away. We visited in early August when it was very hot, and the air conditioning worked very well to keep the house cool. The outdoor shower was VERY handy in getting all the sand off of us, as well as our items. The owner also provided a beach cady which helped with the 4 block walk. There is a distinct old beachy smell to the house. It isn't a bad smell, just something to call out. We would 100% stay at this location again.

Great property & manager!

This is a great property! We would stay here again. Loved the location and the house was the perfect size for what we needed. And I cannot say enough good things about the property manager! We had issues with the AC during our stay and she was responsive, attentive and determined to make the inconvenience up to us. I want her to manage all properties we stay at! Highly recommend.

We loved our stay!

The beach cottage was just as described in the listing! It was adorable, spatial, and cozy! Our family of five loved the amenities including the large yard, beach toys, closeness to the beach, and large screened porch. It was refreshing to stay in a traditional beach cottage. We loved Isle of Palms and being so close to the Charleston sites. We will definitely come back!

Coastal serenity

We were in town for a family wedding with events to attend every day. It was wonderful to come back in the evening to this beautifully appointed cottage. From the decor to the location, this was the perfect choice for our stay. We were close to everything and yet the house is located in a quiet lovely neighborhood . I highly recommend this property for your next stay in IOP.

Perfect casual beach cottage

We wanted a calm, quiet, no-frills or silliness beach vacation to visit with old friends and introduce our son to the ocean. This place was perfect! Exceptionally located, near the beach and closer to an amazing park, with the IOP connector a 3-minute drive away, this property really fit the bill. The screened porch and outdoor shower were key to a great spring beach vacation, as was “the Shed”. We would definitely rent this property again!

Home away from home

This little house is so cozy and relaxing. The outside enclosed patio ends up giving you more living space, and is incredibly peaceful. There are thoughtful touches throughout the house, which adds to the experience. Walking to the beach takes less than 10 minutes, going through a safe neighborhood to get there. Isle of Palms is such a lovely, calming place, and this rental represents the laid back living. We will look forward to coming back!

Lovely relaxing family getaway

Our family had a lovely stay in this adorable house. We love IOP and were looking for a house to stay in that was family friendly, a fair price, and close to the beach. This house checked all the boxes! The house is maybe a 5 minute walk to the beach (10 if you’re lugging a toddler!) and a block away from a great little park. We really appreciated the extra beach towels, beach toys, and outdoor shower.

cleaning crew?

I was happy with the overall stay as far as location! the house was at a disarray when I checked in. I had to sweep and wash the kitchen sink, the hall tub backed up on us because of the hair clog we did not see at first glance and we had to use drain-no or the equal product to be able to use the tub. The furniture did not seem cleaned in the living area as well. Or maybe I expected to much? Don't think so. It just seemed a little gritty. I think extra toilet paper(1 roll) is not enough and paper towels the same. The last property I rented was so much better stocked. I was surprised that I would have to buy dish and laundry supplies. Some was supplied at the last rental, and what I used I replaced. I was expecting the same.

Perfect beach cottage!

What a wonderful place to spend the weekend with my cousins attending the Bob Seger concert in Charleston. Perfect location, close to the beach and Charleston. Short, cheap Uber rides to every location. This cottage is spotless. We had plenty of room for the 3 of us. The screened porch is perfect for morning coffee, and not to bother other that slept in, and for evening drinks. This cottage would be great for families too. City park at the end of the street. We loved the decor. On a quiet street, hardly saw any cars.

C'mon in and stay a while!

We felt very privileged to stay in this cottage. It is so homey~ upon arrival we oohed and ahhed at each room and the decorations that make it feel loved. The home is well-stocked. We chose to bring our own pillows, and a few laundry and dishwasher pods. The neighborhood is friendly and we spent a lot of time walking. I don't think I could have felt more relaxed! Thank you!!

We had a great family vacation!

This property suited our needs perfectly. The cottage is well maintained and cozy, just as advertised. We did feel the property could use a good "deep" cleaning, meaning there was a lot of dust around baseboards, picture frames, under furniture, and so forth. The outdoor porch area was especially dusty. But we were there at the end of the year, after the busy season, and the dusty areas were not noticeable unless you looked. (My Cuban family looks everywhere.) We all had a great time and I would not hesitate to book this little cottage again. It is in a really terrific neighborhood and is probably the best value on the island.

Cottage With Charm

Loved our recent stay at "The Cottage". It was very comfortable for 2 couples and room to entertain some family. Walk is not far to the beach. I am a sucker for a screened in porch and this one did not disappoint. We enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer.
