About this property

"Bird's Eye View" #203 1Br/1Ba, 2nd Flr Dog Frndly

The "Bird's Eye View" from this condo is not like any other in our complex! Sit on the private porch outside your door and watch the pool, the passersby on Pavilion Drive on their way to the beach, the cars driving along Ocean Blvd....all while listening to the music that might be playing at Coconut Joe's or the laughter of kids having fun in the pool. It is a favorite of families who want to keep an eye on things but also of couples, friends, or singles who just want to bask in the beach's balmy breezes.

This condo has two entrances - one with the porch (by way of the steps on the other side of the building) and the other with a set of stairs by the pool area that has a landing and foyer area. The foyer is used by housekeeping so you may want to keep your door closed - it is not meant for guest storage but you may leave your shoes and beach gear in this area.

When you take the entrance by the pool, you walk into the bright cheery condo and the bathroom is right there on the left. PERFECT for coming in from the pool or the beach to use facilities without walking through the whole condo. Step down to the open living and dining area that is flooded with natural light from the 5 windows in the room.

The kitchen reminds me of a European style - compact but not too tight, and great use of space. It is actually elevated 3 steps - a throwback from the original building design from "way back" when the original footprint of the building was not only elsewhere on the island, it was much smaller than it is today. (There is history here....we'll be happy to tell you about it during your stay!) The kitchen has everything guests need to prepare meals - oven, stove, pots, pans, dish- and drink-ware, etc. Coffee maker, toaster, and various accessories such as trays are also here for guests to use. There is no dishwasher but we provide plenty of towels so you can wash your own. Or better yet....eat out....

The living space has a new queen sofa-bed and a TV with cable. There is a dining table right beside the window so whoever is working a crossword puzzle can also keep an eye on the teens by the pool. Pull the table out for more space around it - add extra seats that can be found in the bedroom closet.

The bedroom has a queen bed and small TV. There is closet space for guest belongings.

One thing to note (again) is the location of the bathroom. It is not attached to the bedroom. This is a consideration in terms of access when guests will be using the sofa bed. Guests in the bedroom need not be disturbed by those passing through to use the facilities. And, showering at any time need not be a disturbance to others in the condo.

Best of all: The furriest member of the family doesn't have to miss out on all the fun! Dogs only -PLEASE PREAPPROVE PETS OVER 20# - SOME LARGER DOG BREEDS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Reservation will be cancelled if not able to host your pet. Pet fees are according to weight and are required for your pooch to stay. Fee is added on as an extra guest fee. There is a vet clinic right down the street plus an emergency clinic and pet stores in Mt Pleasant for all your pup's needs.

Not bringing a pet? Have no fear - we take care to ensure there is no evidence of previous pets.

On the Ocean Inn property you will find a pool and two grill areas for use by owners and guests, fee parking, and shared laundry facilities just steps away. (You will need quarters - we'll remind you of that before you get here.)

IOP stay

Great property and communication with host. Property was clean and great distance to everything. Unit has several stairs which might not be best with someone with a little child. The other issue was several windows had no blinds. If sleeping in living room it was always bright due to outside lights. Make sure you bring a travel shade if you need bedroom to stay dark after sunrise. Overall unit was great and would definitely return to this property.

Nice place, simple and easy

The Ocean Inn has a great location. It is a great option because it is very nice, but it is well price in an expensive area. The other guests were polite and friendly and their children were well behaved.

the best location ever

This is the most convenient location we have ever stayed at. The unit was extremely clean! Here's the issues... The bed is hard. The couch is small and hard. There are numerous stairs throughout the unit. Upon our arrival 30 min early, we were ousted by Debbie Downer the housekeeper who said she had not done her inspection. However instead of just doing the inspection while we waited she locked the door and made us leave until 4 pm check in time? really? Also she locked the door with some of our belongings in the unit! Could have been handled so much easier for everyone... just sayin... because of this we will probably not stay here again.

Perfect birds eye view ❤️

This unit was so awesome! The foyer/ storage area made coming and going to beach so much easier! It also made the unit feel so much bigger! The porch was perfect for coffee and watching the kids in the pool! The unit was very clean and had everything you could need! My 2 kids slept wonderfully in the pull out couch! We have stayed at the Ocean Inn for years and we have enjoyed it every single time! We will never stay anywhere else! The location is the greatest! The communication with the property manager has always been so easy and quick!! Highly recommend!!! If I had to provide something that could be improved…it would be the bed in the master…it could use an upgrade but we did fine on it for 5 days 👍

Great stay!

My husband and I planned a trip to IOP last minute and this condo (dog friendly) was perfect with only a 4 minute walk to the beach! It was also close to a ton of restaurants and shops making our getaway stress free. Beth, the property manager, made the check in and out process as easy as possible. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Botkin / Dreams N Druthers

Host profile image
Thelma and Siebelt (T&S Properties) managed and lived at The Ocean Inn for many years. They own this condo and two others and are happy to share these vacation spots with their guests. They have tried to anticipate all their guests might need without adding unnecessary clutter. Guests will find this and other condos to be well-stocked and well-maintained. Thelma and Siebelt stay at The Ocean Inn often and always stay in their own properties to ensure they are in touch with what is needed for a fantastic getaway.

Why they chose this property

"Waaaay back in the day," The Ocean Inn was a motel on the Isle of Palms. When the complex was purchased, with the expectation of future renovation, Thelma and Siebelt came to manage it and help facilitate the transition. T&S Properties has helped create the reputation of The Ocean Inn as being a favorite destination at Isle of Palms.

What makes this property unique

The Ocean Inn is a small complex of 20 condos that features it’s own pool, free parking, and coined laundry. Just a few steps away from the bottom of the stairs to this SECOND FLOOR end unit is an outdoor seating area with a grill and picnic table. It’s common for the guests or families to congregate for happy hour and throw burgers on the grill. The pool is just a few steps from the bottom of the stairs and can be seen from the windows. When you open your front door, you might hear music coming from the waterfront area and you will definitely feel the beach breezes...but you will definitely appreciate being a half block away. (Staying ocean front isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be…sometimes beach hair DOES care!)
