ONE block away from beach! Bright, updated. Pet-friendly. Wheelchair accessible.

Family Beach House a short walk to the beach - one block!! This home was renovated with hardwood floors, open kitchen, dining and living area and expanded master bedroom with accessible bath. A large sun room was recently added.

Lovely ranch home owned by the same family for over 60 years that holds the happy memories of all who have stayed over the years. They hope new guests will create their own memories. The home is situated in a quiet section of the Isle of Palms. The beach is secluded from the commercial district and enjoys far fewer crowds.

Enter the house into the spacious living area with loads of natural lighting. The combined living/dining/kitchen area includes a 50” flat-screen, HD television with a Comcast cable premium channel package. The kitchen is fully equipped. The home has wireless internet throughout.

The large master bedroom has two queen beds, and a Bahama bed for an extra guest. The room has a walk in closet, dresser and chest of drawers with plenty of storage and a desk. There is a flat screen TV with cable in the room. The master bedroom and bath are handicap accessible with a roll-in shower and grab rails.

The home is 20 minutes from downtown Charleston which is a nationally recognized "foodie heaven" with renowned chefs serving wonderful, locally-sourced cuisine. Charleston is an historic port city with cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, antebellum homes and is rich in historical sights. Downtown also has many shopping opportunities with top brands and one-of-a kind boutiques. The surrounding area has several plantation homes and gardens.

Well appointed Home in great location

We really enjoyed our stay here and would book again. The location is close to the beach and shopping while being located in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic and noise. 3 couples stayed here, with the oldest (80 year olds) really liking the accessible main bathroom and single level plan. We entertained other family members during our stay and had plenty of room with the back deck and the 2 main living areas. The kitchen can get a little busy, but it's laid out well and equipped with more quality cookware and utensils than we are used to at rentals. Our small dog loved the back yard as well as proximity to the beach. Communication was great. Be sure to read the instructions on operating the outdoor shower-we inadvertently did it wrong and called for help, which was promptly provided. We'll keep this home on our list for our next trip to Iop.

This is our second time staying at this property as it’s only one street from the beach and has easy beach entry access. The house fit 6 people comfortably and had all the amenities we needed. It’s also only a 20 minute drive to downtown Charleston! Would stay here again!

Great use of space. Our favorite room was the Sun room. We had 6 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs and we never felt crowded. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to other families!

Nice home close to the beach

Very comfortable place to stay for a quick weekend get away. Kitchen is well appointed. House is close to beach (1-1/2 blocks) and on a quiet street. We brought our dog who had a fabulous time!!! Isle of Palms is a laid back kind of place. Beach is not too crowded at this time of year.

Great vacation experience!

The property was very clean! The location is perfect, my family has three grandchildren a one year old, a three year old and a five year old. The walk is a block away and we didn’t have to carry anyone except the one year old. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds are comfortable. The owner Rita is amazing.

IOP trip #2

This was our second trip to Isle of Palms. This property was an excellent fit our purpose. It is 25 minutes (on average) from downtown Charleston. One item on the listing that may be confusing is the 4th bedroom is more of a second living room with a fold out couch. Overall an excellent stay!

Great Stay!

This was our second vacation at the house, and it was just as pleasurable as the first visit. The home is very clean and comfortable. The owners and manager are very kind and cooperative, just a breeze to work with. While not directly on the beach, it's just a short walk. We love that end of the Isle of Palms because the beach is less crowded and during low tide it's wonderful with l - o - n - g beaches and interesting tidal pools. We had peaceful, romantic strolls on the sand.

Perfect in Every Way

Our stay at this property was perfect for our girls trip. There was plenty of room and each of us had our own room. I am in a power wheelchair and it was perfect. I had no problems at all in getting around. The ocean was a very short walk away and the neighborhood was great to take a walk in. Terri, the property manager was great to work with. We definitely would stay here again.

Lovely house in a great location!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! Our group was 7 adult family members, and we had plenty of room. The house is very clean and pretty, the beds are super comfortable, and the location is close to the beach and just a short drive to the grocery store, seafood market, and great restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We really appreciated being able to have my niece's dog with us, and the yard was spacious and safe. Rita was fantastic to work with...great communication and very responsive. It was a great week for our whole family!

Perfect vacation!

The first noticeable thing about this rental was how very clean the home was! The second was how well the home was stocked - lovely comfortable furniture, abundant dinnerware, glasses, pots and pans, shiny heavy silverware, little details that made our visit so enjoyable. Although the home has 3 bedrooms and sleeps more, my husband and I were very comfortable in this home and had plenty of "elbow room". I highly recommend this rental for not only families, but also for couples with their canine "children" to enjoy a peaceful and easy vacation!

Very wheelchair friendly!!!

This house was perfect for us including my aunt who is in a wheelchair. It was extremely hard finding any type of rental in the Charleston area that was handicap accessible. My aunt said this house made her feel like home. The outside shower in the back was great. Such a short walk to the beach with great beach access and it was not crowded considering we were in peak time. I would recommend this property to anyone. Plenty of space in the home, it never felt crowded!!

Addition VRBO information

It would have been helpful if we knew we had to supply garbage bags, toilet paper, dishwasher soap, and washing machine soap. We could have brought extras with us instead of having to go out n buy some.

Great location, accessible house

This house was perfect for our week at isle of palms. My son is a full time wheelchair user and was able to navigate the entire house with no problem - they even had a ramp for him to get into the house. The accessible bathroom was SO nice for him (and our backs!) as well. The house was clean and well taken care of and a short walk to the beach. Only suggestion would be to have some type of carport/cover to house beach wagons/chairs, etc so that they don’t get rained on or covered with tree debris. Overall, highly recommend!

Great rental home!

Exceptional rental home! Clean and neat. Master bedroom is huge and roomy with plenty of room for all your belongings. Beds are very comfortable. Loved the walk-in shower. Owners have thought of everything all the way down to the clock that shows high and low tide! Our favorite place to walk was the Breach Inlet which was just a block or so away. We were so happy that the house had a fenced back yard for our 2 dogs. My husband was ecstatic about the large flat screen TV and my mom enjoyed the full shelf of books that are provided! Best vacation we have had and we didn't want to go home!

Easy Access to Everything!

We rented this property for a week and brought our Mother's to see Charleston for the first time. This property is totally handicap accessible and it was really nice not having to haul everything up stairs to get to the living area. There was more than enough, not only sleeping room, but lounging room to unwind after a day of sight seeing. Three full baths came in handy as well. The house was fully stocked with whatever you need. Just bring food. There was a desk top computer for your use plus wifi. We also had our dogs and they loved the fenced in back yard. It was a short walk to the beach and a short drive to shopping and entertainment. We would definitely rent again!

Beyond Expectations

From the listing, this place was undersold. This place was fantastic. The kitchen was stocked beyond my expectations. The oven heated up quickly, the stove top worked great, and the refrigerator was a full size. There are three bathrooms, and all worked well and convenient for our group of 7. The laundry was easily usable and a huge perk. One bedroom has a double bed, walk-in closet, dresser, and TV. The other bedroom has double bed and dresser. The large bedroom has two double beds, small daybed, two huge dressers, large walkin closet, tv, and a desk. This room had one of the three bathrooms, attached. The deck off the back has the grill, which was easy to use, and a nice place to gather later in the evening. The sunroom off the kitchen is a wonderful place to sit and relax. There are multiple tvs, but we did not use them as we were too busy enjoying the area. It is an easy walk to the beach, which is clean and mellow. The pier and main isle area are a quick and easy drive away. As well as Sullivan Island to the south. We would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful House

We were extremely happy with this rental. The hosts have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making the house welcoming and comfortable. We arrived with all sorts of things usually needed in a rental (bathmats, hand soap, dishwashing detergent, kitchen sponge, trash bags, etc.) which were all provided, plus there were all kinds of spices, condiments, etc. provided or left behind by others. In short, we brought boxes of things we did not end up needing because the hosts have been so generous and thoughtful. While, as the photos show, the house itself is older and not humongous like so many newer beach homes, it is decorated well and could not have been more comfortable. Having the sunroom was a huge asset as it is quite soundproof, so older kids (and adults) could play while the infant and toddler in our group napped, undisturbed. The hosts are quick to respond to communications and the house is even better than it appears in the pictures. So, if the configuration works for our family again, I would be eager to return.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager for Owners - Rita

Host profile image
We are a family of six siblings, two of us live in the Charleston area, two in Charlotte NC and two live in the Norfolk VA area. We have lots of cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends with whom we love to share this house.
Our parents originally bought the house in 1956 when our father was stationed at Charleston Air Force base, two sisters were born while we lived here. Over the years there have been many family gatherings at this house and that continues today. Our fondest childhood memories are in this house and at this beach. Our own children grew up visiting our parents and enjoying the beach. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This is a lovely, roomy ranch home located in an idyllic island community close to Charleston which is an historic and vibrant tourist area. The beach is in close walking distance to the house and the Isle of Palms is a very friendly beach even for pets in designated hours.

What makes this property unique

The house is located on the quiet part of the island with very little traffic and you can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes, this part of the beach is not commercial and usually not at all crowded. The home itself is open and airy, suitable for family game time, partying with a crowd or conversely, napping. It has all the comforts and amenities of your own home. On the day you move in, you will be welcomed with a clean slate so all you have to do is head to the beach or tourist activities and every evening the house will be waiting to welcome your family home. When your week is over, you will have a full book of memories.
