Too Small

The listing says it will sleep 12, but we had 10 people & there was not enough room. We couldn't all eat together as a family because the table was set up for 4. We did pull in a few chairs but there were not 10 total chairs & we wouldn't have fit around the table even if we had 10 chairs. There just wasn't enough sitting for 10 people let alone 12. We did love that out was so close to the beach, but there was no place in the house to rest & relax for everyone. Shouldn't be listed for 12 people.

A Taste of Pawley’s Island history

Outshined and dwarfed by the newer, bigger, more modern houses, this home provides the experience of an “arrogantly shabby” island where casual and laid back were a way of life. In fact it’s kind of sad for those of us who experienced the old Pawley’s to see it so changed. The cabin is very small - 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen and television area in less than 1000 square ft. Still it was adequate for 8 of us. The outdoor shower and huge screen porch made the space seem much larger. The only thing that would have made the screen porch better would have been a view of the ocean, but we were not expecting a view. Short walk to beach and mostly quiet street. Never saw a bug in or around the home. It would benefit greatly from new fridge and stove with a working light and exhaust fan and electrical outlets in the 2nd bathroom. Some of the furniture has been updated and others could use an update. The bathrooms were clean and convenient. The A/C worked well. We thoroughly enjoyed our week, but we think it would not work well for more than 7 or 8 people. The beach is beautiful and we rented a golf cart for riding around the island. It was a fun week

Good location but....

We have been staying at Pawleys Island for over 30 years now and although we were expecting a more traditional Pawleys house, this was a bit more on the shabby side than we anticipated. The house has all of its original charm but it also has windows that won't stay open if they even open and don't have screens if you can get them to stay open-not ideal when you want to get the fresh ocean air and hear the waves. The kitchen was not very functional with no light over the stove to cook by, a rusted and broken fridge, and seriously under equipped cooking utensils, pots, and pans. We rent a house specifically to be able to cook at the house and it was not easy here. The beds were said to have been replaced recently but I can assure you they are not new mattresses-the bed I slept in specifically had a massive dip right in the middle. The house in general was just dark and not what you would hope for when renting at the beach. That being said-the location is great-it really is about a 1 minute walk to the beach. We had zero issue with bugs as a previous review had stated. The screened in porch is large and the rocking chairs is where we spent all our time other than the beach as the living space inside is pretty tight. Overall this could be a super great beach house rental but I feel that the property owners need to actually invest in some basic comforts that someone would expect when renting a home at Pawleys Island.

Won't rent again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was a HUGE disappointment! It appears that the owner never visits the house or just does not care for its current condition or desire to improve it. Bugs in one of the beds, appliances outdated, cabinets without doors. Table seats 4 when this house supposedly sleeps 12! Nicest thing I can say is that it had air conditioning and a roof.

Awesome Beach Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved Tip Ellen! We were there for the month of Nov. The screened porch was my favorite! The beach access was a 2-minute walk.. if you’re looking for a modern, shiny house, this one is not for you. If you’re looking for a simple, quaint, house with stories to tell, Tip Ellen fits the bill. We will stay here again!

Perfect little getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the house for a mini vacation . The house is older, which I appreciate and had plenty of beds for everyone to sleep in. We spent the evenings playing cards on the screened in porch and had enough room to park the boat under the house. It was close and easy to get to the beach. A great time was had by all!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is hard getting back to reality guarding the homestead instead of being lazy on our screened in porch at Tip Ellen. Our morning walks on the beach with sand on our paws. The house was so clean you could eat on the floor, oh yeah, we did. We already recommended it to our 4 legged friends. Suzanne was amazing although she has a cat. Oh, my Mom and Gram had a good time too.

Pawleys Traditional

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is what I think of when I think of Pawleys Island. Simple, quiet, restful, relaxing. No frills just honest beach. It has just about the best second row location possible and with enough room for a family. And although older, it was as clean as a new home. Suzanne is quick in communicating and accommodating above all else. She cares about your experience. I would highly recommend Tide Life for anyone who desires good service and a great vacation.

Calm before the storm.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have a successful Holiday Lighting Company. I work more in the fourth quarter of the year than the rest combined. I went to the beach to rest up and prepare for the season that lies ahead. The stay was fantastic! The house is great, and the beach access is only 3 houses down the street. The beach is public, but not overcrowded. Pawley's Island is a great choice for a getaway no matter the length of the stay.

Two weeks with Tip Ellen with several family members and friends.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have stayed in this house with the property management being Tidelife. Tidelife has been great to work with and they will jump right on any problem you might have. This house is named Tip Ellen and it was built in 1956, which means it has weathered a number of storms and survived them all. We love the older houses as they have a lot of character. The house was clean and they had upgraded several chairs in the living area and also on the porch. The location of the house is great, bing on second row and 5 minutes to the beach. We have recommended the house to at least 6 other couples.

Winter Vacation 2018, Tip Ellen, Pawleys Island S.C.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were warmly welcomed when we got to the office. Tip Ellen is on Pawleys Island S.C.We had looked for a place for some time. It seems most places will take Dogs but not Cats. We were aloud to take my cat. She is 11 yrs old, declawed and just sits watching the birds and car on the front porch of Tip Ellen. It is a big porch and is all screened in. We loved it sitting outside with the cat and not worry about her walking away. That was the first time she has ever been outside except to go to the vet for shots. Tip Ellen is a very old place but in not a bad location. We were on the row back from the beach so could not see the ocean unless we walked ( which is a short distance ) to go see the ocean.The place has a front stairs and a back stairs. You walk up the front stairs onto the big porch and in to the living room. Knotty Pine is on the walls, 4 bedroom,2 with queen beds and the other 2 bedrooms have 2 full size beds in them. So it can sleep 12 people. It has 2 full baths in the house and under the house is the laundry room with washer and dryer and toilet. they also have a shower to rinse off the sand after going swimming or playing in the sand.A new refrigerator and stove and all the utensils you will need including plates cups coffee pot. Al you need is towels ( or you can rent them ).Overall it is a nice place,it is being updated in places. I would come back again but we like to sit and see the ocean from the house. We have had a great time here except for the cold weather we had this year. **** & Faye

3rd week of September.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 2nd time I have rented a house on Pawlweys Island in September. It is an excellent choice if you want to get away from your normal routine. The house has everything you need to sleep, and feed a herd of friends or family providing you stop at the grocery store on the way out to the island. You can still get in the water well into October, it can't be beat for a fall break.

Two minor suggestions for improvements: kitchen appliances need updating; parking area is sand which causes a lot of sand to be in vehicles.

Three month winter stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are in the middle of a 3 month stay at Tip Ellen. We appreciate being able to have our dog "Dolly" stay here with us. We were a little disappointed in having the public beach at the end of the road closed for repairs after the hurricane in 2016. Now that it is open, we use it almost every day. We are 1 row back from the beach, very close but not much of a view (we did know that before we rented). Owners were very nice and helpful. It is a great area, very friendly people. Cottage has everything we need, it is an older place and homey if you aren't expecting luxury and modernity.
