Beachy Vintage Vibe — Pet Friendly!

We are just a 100 yard walk down a dead-end street that ends at the beach! This part of the beach is very uncrowded even during the summer. Upon entering, you will be greeted with tiled floors that are offset by the warmth of vintage California redwood paneling and exposed brick walls. This house is truly stuck in the 1970s and not decked out with all the latest gadgets or appliances. It is very simplistic, rustic, and well, kind of quirky. To offset what it is lacking, it has a prime island location!
It's suitable for 2 people, or 3 if the third person wants to sleep on a small couch, or you're welcome to bring a blow-up mattress – there is ample room for one.

Please note: guests will not have access to AC/Heat controls. This house is equipped with a finicky geo-thermal unit. If you desire a certain temp, please let us know and we will adjust the thermostat to your desire. However, being an older home located in a subtropical climate, it will never be 68 degrees inside during the summer months.
The property sits upon what once was a natural sand dune and is very shady with lots of oaks and palm trees. There is unkempt vegetation everywhere – there is no manicured lawn here. (This lot is reminiscent to what this end of island looked like before the resort area was developed). We have chosen to have a sustainable yard – no watering required – and provide an ecological oasis for native plants and animals. If you're lucky, you will see the small herd of white tail deer that call a corner of the yard their home. PLEASE NOTE: We are surrounded by lots of trees; therefore, there is not a lot of natural light inside, so it may be too dark for some people’s taste. We have ample lighting and lamps throughout to compensate for the lack of natural light coming through the windows and doors. However, this can be beneficial especially during the hot summer months after being out on the beach all day.
So, if what you’re looking for is a place with all the bells and whistles of a newly renovated home or an airy light-filled modern beach house with all the latest appliances and perks, please look elsewhere – you’re not going to be happy here. We strive to make our guests happy and comfortable during their stay and enjoy their time in our ocean playground.
**FYI: there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer. If you need to do laundry, there is an IOP Laundromat about 2.5 miles away in the Harris Teeter shopping center.

PETS: We do accept friendly, housebroken dogs only – Limit Two (2) Dogs – preferably smaller dogs, but will accept large dogs depending on breed. ALL DOGS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED PRIOR TO BOOKING. We charge a pet fee of $20 per dog. This fee is included in your quote when you select that you are bringing pets. Also, when outside, your dog will have to be on a leash and all pet waste will have to be picked up and disposed in the trash can outside by the curb. We do not accept cats.
City of Isle of Palms Dog Rules: Dogs can run off-leash on the beach every day from 5a.m. to 9a.m., after that, they must be leashed at all times.
If you would like more info, please inquire via email and I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions before you book.

Very enjoyable stay
The location was perfect - walking distance to our conference and the beach. The location was quaint with interesting architecture - nothing fancy and just perfect for us. It was a quiet location. We had a very enjoyable time.

Cozy winter beach stay
This was our third time staying here in the winter, although the weather is always pretty nice. It's a great spot for our dog to enjoy the beach. We had everything we needed and enjoy the architecture. Will be back again!

Wonderful Host
Great communication with host. If you enjoy unique places…. This is the place for you! From the bright red sink to the lack of right angles, it will peak your curiosity!! High quality towels, stocked shower needs, beach chairs & towels, and comfortable bed made this stay complete. Easy walk to the beach too!

We were traveling through Isle of Palms on our boat. We enjoyed the change of pace on land. The internet allowed us to catch up on work responsibilities. I appreciate that pets were welcome.

2 minute walk to the beach and only 25 minutes to Downtown Charleston
“Apartment” is the basement of an older house in a very nice area. Super close to the beach and nice and quiet. Outside area needs some fixing up but overall the property was unique in a good way. Close to restaurants and downtown Charleston is not far at all.

Awesome Location
The property was exactly as described. My grandson and I had so much fun here. I had siblings visit while I was there and there were plenty of places to sit comfortably. The outdoor area was just amazing for us. The architecture was just great. We really liked exploring and everyone wanted to look inside and see every nook. The beach was also amazing. We found shark teeth, shells, rocks and sand dollars galore. I hope to return someday with my husband.

Rustic Retreat at Isle of Palms S.C.
I did realize when I booked that it wasn’t modern which was fine with me .. I’m no diva but the place had a mildew smell that I couldn’t take .. bed hard as a board … poison oak everywhere outside .. I left after 2 nights .. shades of Grey Gardens lol .. close to beach tho ..the appliances and bath were clean

Awesome place!!!
The beach is my sanctuary. I love this place that I don’t have to move the car till I ready to leave!!! Clean, quiet, convenient to Mount Pleasant and shopping, and best of all the beach! Lots of construction going on nearby, but ocean can be heard early morning and evening. Convenient seating area outside the door too!

Accurate Description on IOP where we wanted to be...
This Rustic Beach Retreat location on IOP was exactly what we wanted! We Read and Reread the absolute narrative description of this "very simplistic, rustic, and kind of quirky" home. The absolute description says it all, as the explanation is indeed absolutely accurate. To offset what it’s lacking, it does have a "great beach-y vibe and a primo location". As stated: the "cottage" "may be too dark inside for some people’s taste", however for us this simplistic, rustic & quirky abode was a reprieve from ALL of the other homes that are exactly alike! Great location and where we not only wanted to be, BUT where we needed to be! Thanks for letting us stay!

A Little Break
We enjoyed our stay very much! The property description was accurate though we cook and I’ll tell you what, pots and pans were sparse! One very small pot with lid, one small very worn Teflon skillet with no lid and one larger wok like skillet with no lid were what was available. There was one 5x7 cutting board and no hot mitts. There was some tea and olive oil and salt and pepper. If we come back sometime I’ll bring some cooking gear. Great location and the space was a comfortable temperature.

Horrible
This “Rustic” retreat needs a lot of updating! It could be a beautiful place if it was taken care of properly. The outside was very overgrown and the inside smelled. Also, beware if you are on the larger side, because you will not be able to get into the shower! Shower opening was only about 18 inches!!!!!

Interesting
The layout is hodge-podge but the space is very homey. Bed was comfortable. Small smart TV but WiFi worked well. About a 150 yard walk to the beach which was pretty secluded. Mosquitos were vicious. The coffee pot was small as was the microwave. A few upgrades could make this space awesome --- a stove for starters. There were a few bugs crawling around. Again, this was an interesting accommodation and I'd say the VRBO description was pretty accurate.

The house was once a prime jewel. Surrounded by new micmannsions it is dark and hidden.
The apt was good for our use the kitchen needs better pot and silverware. Very musty next to the bed. Lots of cat food cans outside and unkept outside. One door in by the kitchen did not lock so we tied a rope between it and the other door. The shower has channel locks for a switch. Very close to the beach and quiet we enjoyed our time next time we will take our camping grill. Good for pets and low key activity.

Perfect for what we needed.
Let me start by saying you get what you pay for. The price was right, and all we needed was somewhere ro lay our head at night, and somewhere to shower. We text the property manager a couple hours before we got there asking her to set the temp where we wanted it, and she answered almost immediately letting us know she would do it. We had a little issue with the AC, but she came to look at it the same day. We really didn't spend much time there, but like I said it was exactly what we needed. Was it the most beautiful house on the block? No, but we also weren't teying to spend $10k to stay by the beach! We also had no issues with the hot water!
