About this property

#109 Heart of IOP 1st Fl Studio @ Ocean Inn

A block from the beach access. No view but so convenient!! Perfect for small families, girls' weekends, or a couple's getaway, this cute condo located at the Ocean Inn on Isle of Palms, is privately owned and maintained. It is nicely appointed with all you might need for a relaxing stay at the beach that won't break the bank. Don't think of it as a condo at the beach - think of it as our 'guest room', fixed up for you with all that you need for a great get-away.

What's inside:
This large STUDIO condo sleeps 3 with 1 King-sized bed (Black Label Simmons Beautyrest) and one full-sized convertible bed (futon), both in the sleeping area. There is no door to the sleeping area. * Please note that this is a downstairs unit and it is likely you will hear floor noise from upstairs. Guests upstairs are asked to be mindful of activities that might create disturbance below. *

There is one full bathroom with shower.

Kitchen has a convection-microwave for quick microwaving that can also be used for REAL OVEN BAKING for pizza, cookies, casseroles, etc. There is a drip-style coffee maker, "SINGLE-BURNER" NuWave induction cook-top with essential pots and pans to use with it, toaster, dishwasher (a big plus!!) and refrigerator with freezer. There is a full complement of dishes, drink ware, silverware, pots, pans, utensils. There are utensils for the grill as well. There is no full-sized "oven/stove" per se, but there are small appliances to fulfill needs for scrambling eggs or baking a lasagne.

The dining table seats 2 or 4. (There are extra bench seats in the condo.) Wall-mounted flat screen TV can be adjusted and seen from the bedroom or dining area.

You are welcome to use the beach equipment that lives in the closet.

What's outside:

The Ocean Inn features a private pool, free parking (a commodity on the island!), and coined laundry facilities which happen to be conveniently located a few doors down from our condo. Just 20 steps away is an outdoor seating area with a grill and picnic table where it is common for guests to congregate for happy hour and burgers on the grill. This is a great spot in the complex where neighboring guests become friends, often returning year after year. The pool is on the other side of the building so when there is pool noise, you won't hear it. (An added bonus!!) When you open your front door, you might hear music coming from the beach front area, but you won't appreciate being a half block away until you go around the corner and the music gets louder! Staying ocean front isn't always what it's cracked up to be – there is a reason why there is a city-wide 10pm noise ordinance. It will be nice and quiet here.

Best of all:
The furriest member of the family doesn't have to miss out on all the fun! Dogs only -PLEASE PREAPPROVE PETS OVER 20# - SOME LARGER DOG BREEDS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Reservation will be cancelled if not able to host your pet. Pet fees are according to weight and are required for your pooch to stay. Fee is added on as an extra guest fee. There is a vet clinic right down the street plus an emergency clinic and pet stores in Mt Pleasant for all your pup's needs.

If you are not traveling with Rover, have no fear - our place is well-maintained and will not have any tell-tale signs of animals ever curling up to sleep here.

Best beach rental ever

We’ve stayed at many beach rentals large and small, and this by far takes the cake as the best. It’s not a huge space, but everything is so well thought out with decorations, utilities, gear, hooks, supplies, you name it. The space also had so much character, and it was so easy to feel right at home. The property is conveniently located next to everything you possibly would need either by a short walk or drive to the grocery store. Our host was also very communicative throughout the process. I actually left an important item in my unit, and our host messaged me about it so I could come back to retrieve it before I was too far gone. Would absolutely recommend this gem to anyone and hope to come back one day.

Just right

Our family of four loved this condo. It’s simple and small which is all we need as we spend most of our time doing activities outside and exploring. Very clean (I’m super picky) and lots of attention to detail. The location is awesome!!! Right in the heart of IOP and can walk everywhere saving much hastle, time and money allowing you to get the full beach bum vibe. The pool is perfect for kids because the deep end is 5.5 feet. If we visit again we’ll def stay here!

Cute small space

The property was cute, super clean, and there we a lot of extra touches. It was a bit small for us as we like more of a sitting space, but for a younger couple it would be prefect and just enough. There is a pool and a laundry room too. Super close to the beach and several restaurants. Great location.

Nice place

Our stay was great, but there were two small issues with our condo. The king bed had an issue. It seemed to be missing support that runs the middle of the bed. This made the center of the bed sink in like a bean bag when you laid on it. The other issue was the mini split AC didn't seem to keep up with 105 degree late July temps.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Botkin / Dreams N Druthers

Host profile image
Owners are a small family of 4 and live right across the bridge in Mt Pleasant. They wanted to have a place for out of town family to stay and offer it for others to enjoy when it is available. They're thrilled to have you!

Why they chose this property

We love this complex in particular because, although there are several rental units, there are folks who live here full time. It is well maintained by our management company as well as the year-round residents who all take great pride in the property. Each unit is individually owned and we manage our own so we can offer a personal touch to your accommodations. We really do treat our place as our guest suite - and we will treat you as our guest as well. We want you to feel welcome and comfortable.

The Isle of Palms is a wonderful beach destination that is unlike any other. There is an interesting mix of building styles that date back to way before Hurricane Hugo came through and devastated the island in 1989. We like the mix of old and new, and we LOVE that it is not as commercial as it is on other parts of the coast. The food on the island is some of the best in Charleston so while you might want to venture into the City for sightseeing and shopping, you can find a great meal right here on the island every night of your stay, many within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

You don't have to drive anywhere - you can hang up your keys when you arrive and never move your car until it's time to go home. You will find great food everywhere around you - pizza, seafood, burgers, gourmet, bar food, you name it. The best breakfast spots on the island (where the locals eat) are just a 3-minute walk. It's almost like being at a B&B except that you probably won't go to breakfast in your robe.....not that you couldn't, mind you....some go in their beach cover up, so hey....why not??
