About this property
Charming family vacation cottage, close to the beach on Isle of Palms.
Nestled between the Inter Coastal Waterway, and the peaceful, well sought after, vast beach on Isle of Palms; this 3 BR, 2 1/2 Bath house offers a pleasant vacation experience for everyone.
The coastal casual atmosphere is a breath of fresh air and accommodates 8 people comfortably. The front screened in porch is perfect to enjoy coffee and watch the sunrise or catch the afternoon breeze. The main living area has an open floor plan, and with a fully equipped kitchen, is a perfect place to cook dinner with the family.
The back patio has a charcoal kettle grill, and comfortable seating for outdoor cookouts, overlooking a large private yard where the kids can run around. Adjacent to the patio is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water, and storage shed with beach chairs, umbrella, and a beach cart.
Each bedroom is furnished with a queen sized bed, and there are 3 TV's located throughout the house. The playroom has a queen futon and is divided from the rest of the house, so the kids can watch tv while the adults are in the main living space. Adjacent to the playroom is a bathroom with large walk-in shower.
Hardwood floors and ceiling fans are throughout the house, and there are 2 leather sofas in the main living area. There is a full size washer and dryer available for your use, and linens and towels, including beach towels are provided.
With granite counter tops, new appliances, a large farm table, and comfortable casual seating for everyone, dining in is just as easy as dining out. A Keurig coffee maker, or upon request, a regular brew coffee maker, high chair, pack-n-play crib, a child gate and board games are furnished. There is high speed internet available and the Wi-fi password will be provided upon check-in, as well as a key code for the back door.
