Dog-friendly Cottage! 3/30 night stays year-round! 7 Night/Monthly Discounts!

SHIAWA-SEA COTTAGE, LLC, is a Pet (Dog)-Friendly, 2 bedroom/1 bath (shower stall), Classic, family-owned Property, with cedar shake-look siding and sand-colored, standing-seam, metal roof, 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, in a quiet, residential, SC coastal neighborhood/barrier Island. Your stay will be the perfect get-away for couples traveling together and small families. If you are staying for a month with a Dog your Fee will be $10 per Pet (2 maximum) per night.

You first enter the expansive, cobalt blue carpeted screen porch, through a hand-crafted, mahogany door with South Carolina's state flag logo (palmetto/moon). On the porch, you will capture the ocean breeze and relax in the Pawleys Island Rope Hammock, enjoy appetizers/beverages, in the original Bentwood-style furniture dining area, and begin your stay on the Island. Cottage-style features include ceiling fans, glass block/leaded glass windows, maple hardwood floors & stucco walls.

You enter the dining room, through the ocean blue, hardwood door. A solid oak, antique table (seats 6), a carved-wood buffet, Ethan Allen dry sink cabinets & apothecary chest, enhance the classic Cottage features.

The Bedrooms, have queen-size beds and ocean blue quilts with nautical linens. The Cottage has central heat and air conditioning for the non-optimal seasons.

The open Family-kitchen, has a 50 inch flat screen, HD, wall-mounted TV. The original kitchen cabinets (circa 1946) are white-painted solid wood, the countertops are classic white Formica. A Classic Blue by Unique bottom-mount freezer with icemaker new in 2023. The Cobalt blue, hand-pottered, whale- accented ceramic tile back splash, will enhance your culinary experience. On the front deck, a gas grill is available for outdoor cooking & an umbrella table/chairs are available for al fresco dining.

From the Family-kitchen, you go down the internal stairwell to access the lower level (LL) laundry room.

The hot tub, which is maintained at 100-102 degrees , is perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun and watching the sunset. The outdoor shower room near the hot tub, has hot and cold water, allowing for year-round use. You have use of the year-round maintained, unheated pool, which is on our adjacent, 310 Palm Blvd. coastal Property.

South Carolina's moderate climate allows for year-round outdoor activities with beach days extending into December. The ocean temperature moderates in mid-April with 'good ole' summertime to follow. Enjoy the lazy days of summer on 'Main Street', our wide, sandy beach, just a 2 block walk away. In late Fall/Holiday-time/Winter, you will find the sitting area, near the gas log fireplace, to be a perfect spot to enjoy hot & cold beverages after a brisk walk/run on the beach. Also, the outdoor firepit awaits you to roast our succulent, salty local oyster clusters.

We know you will enjoy longer walks on the beach to Front Beach, for seafood, burgers, tacos, pizza, tropical drinks and live music. Also, you can take a short beach walk to Breach Inlet for dolphin/sunset-watching and dining at the Boathouse. We are confident you will enjoy your stay with us, where we have worked, raised children, enjoyed SC Coastal living and our Island lifestyle for 46 (and counting!) years.

Relax to the max!
Well appointed with all the cooking and dining accessories you’d ever need for a memorable stay. Close walk to the beach; the porch hammock is a must to use when chilling or for overall relaxing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to vacationing here again in the near future!

Charming stay
My sister and I had a wonderful time visiting Charleston and the surrounding islands. The house is a short walk to the ocean and a short hop to everywhere we explored. Our host was as charming as the house itself. Hope to return someday.

Charming Relaxation
This cottage is a hidden gem among the typical looming new structures on the island. Morning coffee (bring your own or get some at the nearby Harris Teeter store) was lovely at the front deck cafe table or in the screened porch. The beach is a very short 2 block walk. Although we ate out for all our meals, the kitchen was well stocked with baking, cooking, and grilling necessities. There are so many things to do and see in the Charleston area that we spent very little time here, but it was just the kind of place that we wanted to relax and unwind after our busy days!

Porch sitting perfection
We very much enjoyed our stay! The front porch was amazing and where we spent most of our time. The listing needs some updated photos and to clarify that the pool is not part of the property. To our surprise, it was much cuter in person. We would definitely stay again if ever in IOP.

Perfect beach cottage for a romantic getaway!
Mimi's cottage is cozy, and lots of bright sunlight, and spacious rooms. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. A short walk to the beach on a beautiful island, followed by a rest in the hammock.....what more do you need ? Close to Sullivan's Island, Mount Pleasant, and Charleston.

Great location for October getaway!
We had never been to Charleston area before so we booked this for a weeklong getaway. This was the perfect location to easily drive in to the city and nearby Sullivan's Island. 3 minute walk to the beautiful beach and 1 mile walk to breakfast/restaurants in IOP. We really loved the outdoor shower and used the hot tub every single night. October was the perfect time to go as the island was quiet and the beaches were mostly empty while the water is still swimmable. We would definitely come back every October.

Lovely Island Cottage
Marilyn's place was everything we hoped for and more. It's well-appointed, clean, and convenient to the IOP pavilion area and Sullivan's Island. The cottage is cute and comfortable. The screened in front porch was perfect after a day on the beach. We didn't take advantage of the pool or hot tub but it was nice to know we had the option. We're already looking forward to coming back again next year! 5-stars.

Great Beach Cottage
We stayed in this property for the first time and loved it. Family of 2 with a dog and had plenty of space. The house was clean and reflects the owner's style and is well equipped. The outdoor heated shower is great and helps out with the tiny bathroom/shower in the cottage. If you are looking for a dog friendly rental, this house is great but does not have direct access to the backyard- there is a short walkway to the gate. Not a problem for us!

Beach with pooch
Spotlessly clean. Nice to have outdoor shower/hose access to hose off our dog after beach time. The location was close to the store and roads to Charleston, as well as walking to the beach. The beds were comfy(very firm, which I like) but a king size would have been nice. Since we had 2 rooms, my husband could sleep in the other room if I was tossing too much. The bathroom was adequate, but definitely small. Our dog loved to relax in the screened porch while I read. It was lovely .
