14 Reviews of Property 151898 in Isle of Palms, South Carolina

My family and I stayed here for 1 week at the end of February. The home is exactly as you see the pictures. It is very well equipped with everything you need. The beds were all comfortable which was important to us. There were also plenty of pillows. The rooms all have TV's and the lamps have a dimmer switch which is nice and can be used as a night light. The large TV in the Living Room is nice and after messing around with the remotes for awhile, we did figure out how to use them. The home is spacious and clean. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool table and air hockey. We were able to use the golf cart to go to the beach one day. Because the weather was chilly, we did not use the pool or do any grilling. I planned on bringing pets and paid the fee but in the end, did not bring them with us. The owner had no problem refunding my pet fee back to me. The bedroom off the dining room is nice, spacious and has a large TV/Game system which my grandsons played on quite often while were there. The only issue with this room, is there is only 1 curtain, and no door for any privacy from the dining/kitchen area. A nice set of french doors would be ideal for privacy and help to keep the little ones out. I would have found a nice Welcome Note to be helpful with specific instructions on the 3 remotes in the living room and directions on how to get to the beach. I know this sounds silly because the beach is right there off the main road, but to me, it looked like you had to cut through someones property to get to it. I had to ask a stranger who advised me that there is public access where ever you see a green sign and it is ok to park your vehicle there (even though it looks like it might be part of someones driveway or property). The owner apparently scheduled workers to do some yard work/trimming trees and brush etc...while we were there however, I would have appreciated a heads up on it as we were awakened very early to the sound of men talking right under the bedroom windows! We looked out to see several men all around the house talking/working. With that said, all and all, I found this home to be lovely and would definitely recommend it to others.

The house was decent, but not as nice as it is portrayed on this website. It is in need of maintenance, and some very basic maintenance at that.
I could tell that the owner had done a nice job choosing furniture and decorating, and the house was probably just as beautiful as the pictures at some point. It is an older beach cottage so I did not expect modern luxury, but it was not as pleasant when we arrived. Perhaps the issues were due to bad renters, but none the less should have been addressed prior to our arrival.
There were a noticeable number of Palmetto bugs in the house, the carpets were dirty, paint was needed, the refrigerator shelving was being held together with electrical tape, lights were burned out, some outlets were not working & hanging out of the wall without a wall plate, the batteries were removed from the smoke detector, front door framing was damaged and door could be opened without using the key pad, the sides of the trundle bed were partially broken, the crib was unstable, the pack n play was broken, noticeable dripping/condensation/mildew around the ceiling vents, patched areas on the ceiling that became wet with heavy rain, queen rooms/linens were not as nice as pictured, garage was dirty and not at all as pictured. The owner did address the outside lighting issues, provided a new pack n play, had pest control applied to the house, and the carpets were steam cleaned after our arrival, but the other issues were not addressed during our stay.
The house is nicely outfitted with technological amenities. The pool area was very nice, and the outside of the property was well maintained. The house was in a quiet location, close to the beach, and the golf cart was a nice amenity for trips to the beach with the kids. Despite some of the nice amenities, I can't honestly say that I would recommend this property to friends or family.

This house was exactly as advertised, and had all the amenities we needed for indoor AND outdoor recreation. Very comfortable beds & furniture. We also appreciated the modern electronic conveniences (multiple flat screens, digital cable, WiFi) and the proximity to the beach. The pool is very nice, as is the recreational garage.
We would definitely recommend this home for any large family group.

We stayed the week of July 31 in this great house. We found everything to our liking and very convenient to the beach. The house is furnished nicely for a vacation rental. There are TVs everywhere so that there is never any argument over what to watch. The kitchen is very user friendly. This is not a luxury home, but if you are wanting to come to the beach with the family and have a relaxing time this is it. We utilized the golf cart to get our 18 month old grand daughter to the beach everyday. It is an easy 6 minute walk to the beach and even faster in the golf cart. We had our two daughters and their husbands, our 20 year old college student, our grand daughter and our trusty dog. We found the accommodations very much to our approval. We had plenty of room and the large dining room table was really nice for all of us to be able to share a meal together. The pool and back yard although not big, were perfect for relaxing after a day on the beach. The owner allowed us to use his dock on his other property and my son and I had a great time cast netting shrimp (do this at low tide)and crabbing. We love IOP as the beaches are never crowded and the 5-8am no leash laws allow pets to have a great time romping on the beach.

The pictures of the property appear to be from several years ago after actually staying there. While the property was fairly clean, the interior of the property very much needs a new coat of paint. It just seems as if someone started renovating and never quite finished. The description on this website states there are King beds in all the bedrooms which is not true, there is 1 King bed and 2 Queen beds, which was not a problem for us , but something people should know. When we arrived the golf cart had two flat tires and a torn backseat, which were fixed after a phone call, but it seems to be showing its age. The big screen TV in the living room was very difficult to figure out, it was very difficult to watch a DVD, and the TV in one bedroom was not working when we arrived, which was again fixed with a phone call. The garage was not very nice at all, and had a horrible smell. The pool table was slanted and all the cue sticks were broken on the end.
I am very picky when I stay somewhere and expect the place to look exactly like the pictures, so I was very disappointed when we got there. I would not reccomend this place & would not stay there again. The island itself was lovely and had one of the best beaches we've ever been to.

We rented this home to celebrate our little girl's 5th birthday. My parents were able to vacation with us and everyone found the home to be above our expectations. We especially enjoyed having a large 10 person dining room table where we would all gather in the evenings to eat, play games, drink & graze from and just sit around and talk. Beds were very comfortable as noted in their listing. Several times we used the golf cart to hurry over to the beach, but other days we simply walked over and spoke with neighbors on our quick walk over to the beach path. Once we forgot our door code to get back into home, but owner answered his phone when we called and we were able to get back in quickly. Good memories were made and my little girl didn't want to leave. Would rent this home again.

House is located a 10 minute walk from the beach, close to public park with tennis, etc., and near marina. LOTS of public beach access with parking allowed. The backyard is very private. Lots to do for kids. Furnishings and electronics are way above the usual home rental quality. We enjoyed watching Monsters vs. Aliens in surround sound. Beds were very comfortable. We had some minor problems, but owner was responsive. It is an older house but updated nicely and recently. Convenient to Fort Moultrie, Patriots Point, Charleston and plantations. We enjoyed walking around Charleston, visiting Fort Moultrie touring aircraft carrier, tennis at the park, and of course lots of beach time. The home feels bigger than it is. Weather in April was absolutely perfect. Some biting gnats/mosquitos, but only in evening or wooded areas we visited. We have those in Florida, too, near marshy/brackish areas. I personally would not visit that area in late summer due to weather/bugs. Wish we had rented a boat at the marina - we just couldn't work it into our schedule. From the marina you can get to uninhabited island for nature or out to Charleston harbor. We would definitely stay here again at this time of year.

I just spent a week at this house with 9 of my friends and it was a really great time. It's only a short walk from the beach, close to restaurants and grocery stores, a quiet neighborhood and a beautiful house. The owners did everything possibly to help us plan our trip and answered all our questions. This was my first time renting a house for a vacation and it was a very positive experience for all involved. The recently renovated garage is a nice addition where people can play pool, darts, watch tv, etc. without bothering anyone in the house. I would have to say that was one of the nicest things about the house considering our large group. I would imagine this place would be great for families or a group of friends (like us). Definitely would recommend the area if you are looking for a relaxing getaway and little trips around Charleston as well. Everything you could possibly need for cooking, entertainment, sleeping (linens and towels included) is there so it helps people coming from a long distance plan their trips easily. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend this house!!
