Really enjoyed our stay - highly recommend! Host responds quickly and is very helpful! There were six of us and the three bathrooms made it very easy during showers and getting ready to go out.
This house was a perfect spot for our beach vacation. Location is quiet but very close to beach access and IOP connector! Grilled out a few times in the backyard and host was super easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
We had a wonderful stay at Meg’s place. The house was spotless, comfortable and convenient to everything. Meg was very responsive and a great host. I can’t wait to go back!
Our stay was everything we hoped for and more. Meg provided everything we would ever need for an enjoyable family reunion. There were even games to play on the day that it rained. I am so thankful we chose Meg’s home for our vacation!
The property was great especially if you want a quiet separate area to divide up friends or family. The apartment was larger than expected and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep, eat, and relax. The fire pit and outdoor seating was also great. The walk to the beach was not far and all of our family had no problem making the trek.
We had a fantastic stay Meg was a fantastic host and her property is just as described . We rented two golf carts and beach was 3 blocks away with a great access and parking for them also beach ave was a short golf cart away or drive to. Food was fantastic all 4 restaurants ,we visited grocery store 4 blocks away . Will definitely spread the word and visit again
We had a great week. The house is in the perfect location. Easy to the beach and in a quiet laid back neighborhood. We loved walking through the quaint streets and only a few blocks from a nice park as well. Only several minutes via car to the IOP's main hub. House had all we needed and we enjoyed the back yard as well. Meg was a great host. We would definitely recommend and go back!
Meg is a great host. This rental had everything you could want. The second unit was a life saver for our mixed party. Close enough to the main unit but can easily separate when you need to. The location is fantastic. Easy walking distance to the beach, not too far from anything you may want to see on the mainland. Perfect vacation spot.

About the host
Hosted by Meg Elam
Our family moved to Isle of Palms as full time residents in 2013. After searching along the Eastern seaboard, we discovered Isle of Palms and fell in love with this family friendly beach community.
Life is great but does not always go as planned. In 2016, my husband was diagnosed and died of cancer. Instead of being bitter at his illness, he was thankful that we made the leap to live in such a beautiful area to raise our 3 kids. When you book one of my 2 properties, you are supporting our family in this endeavor and I thank you!
Our family likes to explore the beautiful beaches, waterways, and restaurants that abound throughout the island. Neighboring Sullivan's Island, Mount Pleasant, and downtown Charleston offer countless possibilities for food, fun and exploration. With every outing we discover special places and friendly people along the way ... and I hope you will, too. Life is both precious and fragile and every day can be an amazing opportunity to find beauty and appreciation.
Why they chose this property
This property is in a great location on IOP where you can walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The separate living spaces allow a larger group of friends or family to spread out. The house is in a quiet, residential section of the island and on a quiet night you can sit out back and enjoy listening to the ocean waves.
