BEACHFRONT, SLEEPS 6, FISHING PIER, 42 INCH HDTV, DIGITAL CHANNELS

Nearly everything during our stay was adequate, and most amenities were positive. However, I can't recommend this property for families with young children who intend to make use of both of the hallway bunks. As the ad states, the bunks are 30 inches wide, which is narrow--the width of a toddler bed. But the bunks do not have permanent rails--as most bunk beds do-- to prevent kids from rolling out and falling to the floor. A convertible bed rail was supplied, but why just 1? The number of safety rails is a moot point because it is an ineffective, haphazard safety system. The bed rail posts are too long to fit under the bunk mattress and within the bunk frame, so we fitted them under the floppy, ever-shifting 1-inch top mattress. The weight of the child leaning against the rail is enough to flip child and all onto the floor (or onto strategically-placed sofa cushions in our daughter's case). This makes the top bunk completely out of the question.

One of several things need to happen to make this a safer situation. 1. Permanent bed rails need to be installed (there must not be building codes to apply to installed bunks because the current ones would surely fail). 2. An alternative safety system with better convertible bed rails and minus the lousy 1-inch mattresses. 3. Explicit and coherent instructions posted prominently next to the bunks (if the owner thinks we missed something). In my opinion, option 1 is the only appropriate demonstration of a commitment to safety.

Very well furnished and maintained. The place is extra clean, comfortable and exactly as described in the listing. Good location in the heart of Isle of Palms with a view of the sea from the balcony. Also about 30 minutes away from Charleston Visitors Center.Ideal spot for a couple or a family with young children. The only annoyance was the bedroom ceiling fan that need to be fix because too noisy Everyyhing else worked properly and we spent a very good week. We would certainly stay there again if we get the chance to return in the area . Thanks

Excellent beds. Sleeper sofa too. Nice audio visual system. Very nicely appointed with new appliances and flat screen TV's. Great location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops is nice. The fishing pier is great and has a fish cleaning station. Nicely lit at night. We caught lots of fish. Super clean in the condo. Nice attention to detail. Just a great place to stay on the beach for a most reasonable price. We will come back. Thanks!
