Fun in the sun

The house was perfect for our vacation. Pool was great for the kids and we were close enough to the beach. We also love that the property has enough grass for yard games such as badminton and bocce.

IOP

This house is in a great location-close to the beach and IOP restaurants. The house has a lot of room for multiple generations along with a wonderful backyard and large deck. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and we were very happy with our stay. We look forward to returning again!

Wonderful Week

It was as advertised on the website. The house was inviting and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with dishes, utensils, appliances and spices. Pool, hot tub and sauna were used daily and nice to have when little ones were napping/sleeping. I would recommend it highly for families with small children/grandchildren. The beach chairs and wagon were great to have for our time on the beach.

Family Celebration

My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our kids, their spouses, and our grandchildren. The house was spacious and comfortable for all of us. We enjoyed the backyard pool and the screened in porch. Our location was convenient to the beach and an easy walk; a beach wagon was provided to load our gear. The hostess, Rita, was wonderful and very accommodating. Also, if you wanted to explore Charleston, it was an easy drive. I recommend this house as a nice place to stay.

Relaxing Vaca

The property manager, Rita, was super responsive and helpful. The kitchen was fully stocked to cook meals, the beds were comfortable and the location was within walking distance to the grocery store and beach. We used Whole Foods/Amazon delivery, which was convenient as well. Toilet paper is only stocked for the first few days, so make sure to order that and laundry detergent. Property could use painting and spraying for wasps and bees, but overall great stay.

Wonderful stay in IHOP

This house is amazing and perfect location for a summer beach vacation. My family and I stayed a week to celebrate a birthday. This house is well appointed, with everything we needed for the week. The beach wagon was a life saver as was the elevator for my two disabled family members. Spent a lot of time in the sunroom - perfect for morning coffee. Dogs loved the yard and neighbors were very friendly. The beach is only a couple of blocks away - with restaurants and stores close as well. We are already looking into booking for next year. Thank you for opening your home to our family.

Destination wedding

My fiancé and I had a wedding on the beach and rented this house and another for each side of the family. This house was a perfect location, clean, had everything we needed. The pool was perfect after long days on the beach. There was a minor issue with the kitchen sink and master bedroom door. The property manager and plumber arrived promptly to fix everything. We have never had a renter be so attentive!

Stunning Home & Great Location

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay. The home was gorgeous and provided all of the necessary items you’d need for cooking and playing. We appreciated the beach towels, wagon, chairs, toys, etc. Our kids just loved the pool and spent many hours swimming. There was one day where the pool was not working as expected and Rita had the pool company over within an hour or two. Our only complaints were the dryer was very, very squeaky (horrible nails on a chalkboard sound) and we couldn’t get cold water. So unbelievably minor and hardly affected our stay at all. We will be back!!!

Lovely family home

We had a great week at this house. It’s lovely and welcoming. The appliances are so nice, the best I’ve ever used in a vacation rental. The back yard is wonderful! Our kids never wanted to get out of the pool, and the fenced in yard was great. The neighborhood is very quiet and seems to be a mix of residents and rentals. It’s close enough to the beach. If you have really young children or plan to bring a lot of stuff, you would want a golf cart. There were a lot of homes under construction or renovation, but it wasn’t noisy, just a lot of activity on the walk to the beach. Our only real complaints are the king beds were not comfortable, and each bed could use an extra blanket, especially when it’s not the heat of summer. Overall, the house was so nice, and our first trip to Isle of Palms will definitely not be our last.

Our stay in Isle of Palms was enhanced by the outstanding amenities provided at this ‘Island Retreat’. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub and short walk to the beach. The interior was spacious and convenient for all of our family members. The easy elevator access to each floor was greatly appreciated. We would recommend the ‘Retreat’ to family and friends and utilize again on any return visits.

The property was as advertised and very enjoyable for all especially the kitchen was well appointed and in the main the property manager visited to make sure all was well. There was one glaring exception -- which is why I gave it 4 and not 5 stars. The pool pump motor was off-scale loud -- so loud that they turned it off each night or the neighbors would complain (per the pool guy). We complained about it because we spent so much time each day and evening around the pool and it was just discussion stopping obnoxious. We were told that this is what pump motors sound like -- we have pools at home and know what pump motors are supposed to sound like -- this was way, way bad (if it was Ok, why did you have to turn it off at night to keep the neighbors from complaining). Anyway, even with this problem, the home was great, and we all enjoyed the vacation. But, just fix the motor. Thanks.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, and somehow even better than the pictures—plenty of room to spread out and relax.That said, for a property at this price point and with such a luxurious feel, a few small upgrades would go a long way. The cookware and barware could use a refresh, better pots and pans, some real serving bowls, and glassware that matches the upscale vibe of the home. Also, basic supplies like trash bags, paper towels, tissues, and shower gel should really be stocked. These small touches make a big difference in the guest experience, especially in a home of this caliber.Overall, a fantastic property with so much potential to be top-tier with just a few thoughtful improvements.

A Wonderful Week

We spent our family vacation at this wonderful house. Our group consisted of two seniors, four adults aged 40 - 42, and five children ages 5 - 10. We chose this house because it was perfect for my husband who has mobility issues. The house has an elevator, pool, and a Relax the Back chair which was important since he cannot sleep in a bed. It was also 2 blocks from the beach which made treks to the beach easy for others in the group. We really enjoyed the pool and yard and sitting on the front porch reading in the rockers. The house was well stocked and ideally laid out for our group. I had a shower stool sent to the house for my husband. Ann Louise was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. All in all, it was a great vacation, and we hope to come back again.

Great Getaway

This was an amazing week and the house is in a fabulous location and proximity to beach. Property manager was very responsive and it was nice to have an elevator. A couple of things, bathrooms on third floor are outside of the bedrooms so that was just a little bit a of a design or style that I didn’t expect. I also thought there would be a bathroom on the ground level to access easily from the pool. Those were things I missed and for the price wished I had. The parking is also one drive path with a sideways garage so difficult to access easily. This house has a lot of charm with a great front porch for rocking.
